wondering what products you guys are using to increase yields in non-organic dwc hydro.

I have GH micro and pk 13/14 and a little bit of Technaflora grow/bloom left.

currently at an early-mid flowering stage where nugs are beginning to form or are formed and growing. Some plants still haven't developed many trichs, others have plenty to show.

@ 1200ppm micro/bloom nutes right now, going to supplement res with pk and water to ~1200ppm again tomorrow

have big bloom but feeling canna pk will be more effective since I'm not growing organics.

the guy at the hydro shop recommended some more expensive canna stuff for increasing yield but I passed because it was passed my budget.

growing under a 1000w hortilux.

I used liquid KoolBloom and KoolBloom Dry on my last grow and was able to see the immediate results with the Dry KoolBloom.

I used as recommended and the result was big fat nugs that I thought were seed pods, but turned out to be big fat nugs. At the desired time adding the nutrient stresses the plant into produce flowers for self polenization; but the plant never made the male flowers, just huge nugs. I swore I saw male flowers forming and cut some colas off in fear, but I realize now that I may not have need done that.

If you use it, be cautious and and DO NOT overuse. I swore my gurls were on their way to becoming hermies...

yeah I was going to get koolbloom and have heard it herms and heard it doesn't, but I decided against it because it has much more phosphorous than potassium, and I think a more equal ratio will be better. Actually, from what I've gathered higher potassium levels would help budding more than higher phosphorous ones, and 13/14 is about as good as I can get from my hydro shop. plus its cheap as bees.

Hell yea man i just recently found that out...I grow with the 3 part flora line with all the additives..i wasnt using the dry until recently i was having trouble and me diagnosing the plant..middle of flower and ppm was 800!I was slippin!So i got to reading on the side of the dry KB and it said 1.5g. to raise the ppm 200.Fuckin amazing..It makes em drink a shitload more too!

well now I'm hearing the dry koolbloom is teh shiznit. heard it before but went with the canna pk instead.

added the pk last night but I swear the buds started boomin a lil more. ppm was at 1150 and I added 2 gal of 300ppm PK and then this morning another gal of 300ppm PK and a gal of ~1,000ppm Micro/PK so the res should be right around 900-1,000. out of town until tuesday maybe I'll see some explosive growth before then
