What week are they in? My most favorite way of bulking is heavily oxygenated water, with only a full strength pk boost. But without knowing the stage of your plant or seeing a picture, my advice for larger colas would be to add more oxygen.

Normally Right now the blue dream is bulkin like a mother f**ker the last picture is the MK which the nugs are about the same size now as they were on my last harvest, except at harvest I was at 63 days not 45 -__- lol.
Which is making me wonder why the MK is doing so great while the blue dream is slackin like a mo fo, My Blue Dream is a insanely heavy producer so this is super new to me.

Your plants look great. I have a good idea on what may have happened to your blue dream. How did you fed top booster? If you incorporate top booster for more than 1 week, it will deff keep buds from reaching their maximum size. It is only meant to be used for one week and one week only; they say preferably week 5, I do week 4.5 .
Also, there are 2 points in a plants life where they need pk boost. They need a mild pk boost at week 3, water and mild nutrient mix until week 5, and a major pk boost at week 5. Looks like your plants may not have had their share of pk boost younger in their lives, but nonetheless they look fantastic.

Thanks bro appriciate the compliment. I switched back to my old pk booster an stopped top booster, I'm gonna let the blue dream go an extra 2 weeks for a 12 week cycle 
Looks like the touchy strains love the h and g while the strong strains like my blue dream need that powerful pk boost to get a jump start.

Apologies for the lack of updates. Harvest was terrific. Averaged around 4oz per plant dry.
The rest of the girls are doing fantastic. I had started 4 seeds of Auto Flowering AK 47 to keep under a 600w hps in my veg room on 18/6 cycle. The pics below are all of last week. The autoflowering at this point are HUGE, twice the size they are now. They have exploded on me. The size they are now are the size I have seen most auto flowerings finish, and they are only barely 3 weeks. I am excited for them. The recirculating system is working great as well. Never done recirculating before, and the system is EASY and efficient.
Here are the pics from 8 days ago.
Far bottom of one of my Jacks. Even the most bottom nugs are meaty. Thank you HPS lighting.
This following picture is how i train almost all of my plants at a young age. I tie them down with strings and tape the string to the bucket. This takes less than 30 seconds per plant, and turns them into big bushes.

look into green planet nutes they are 1/3 the price of advanced and competing with them neck and neck I recently made the switch from advanced full line and i mean everything had mother earth super tea grow for veg and connisuer a&b + mother earth bloom and every extra they made for flower and i switched back n forth between organic and chem nutes every time i watered so the plants always got somthing..but it cost about 1200$ per 2-3 runs
now I run gren planet nutes and can buy gallons of each part grow a&b bloom a&b, pro-cal, massive, aussie tonic, medi-one, gph uptake.. and its only 400$ plus they give you a feeding chart which at full strength your using double the amount but i've never used that much i start at 1/4 the amount and work my way up to 1/2 then the 3rd-6th week of flower maybe use 2/3 strength and come out with the same yeild and quality as advanced..for less than half the price and most of the nutes will last me and my ol man 2-3 runs sharing the same gallon bottles and i make 40-50 gallons of solution a week in flowering and 50-60 gallons every two weeks in veg..plus what the ol man uses which is around 35-40 gallons a week..
medi-one is also backed 100% by dr.hornby who used to back advanced but doesnt any more..I'll use advanced bloom igniter and the ph down is phenom since its so concentrated but the rest of it they can keep..i also use bloombastic and sugar leaf..and sometimes ill foliar feed my purple plants purple maxx to help bring out the color cuz it does work on plants that turn purple but DONT USE IT TIL the last week and let the plants run an extra week after to bring out the color in my experince it shuts the plants down as soon as its introduced and they wont ever finish depending on the strain

Sounds like you know what you are doing. Also sounds like you might be a salesman for the company. Thanks for the info, but I've done many testing with nutes, and the ones I use now are what makes me the happiest. I am sure others will read your post and benefit.

Hey caregiver I'm using e general hydroponics a and b just for getting hydro down this is only my second cycle the first cycle I did x nutrients any suggestions on another to try I'm pretty happy with general hydroponics though

I use a few of the general hydroponics. I have always used one or two bottles from them, but lately I have been using more. They are amazing! Very cleated nutrients, no major ph drift issues, and friendly to use for everyone, begginers and experienced growers. I am glad you ask if there is anything else you can use. I am happy to answer any and all questions, and I'll give you tips and tricks that I have noticed to work very well.
Here are a few tips on additives for hydro;
Add a silica boost, 3ml per gallon, from day 1 veg (not clones) until end of week 2 flowering.
Add cal mag, 3ml per gallon, on every single feed. Flushing? Add call mag.
General hydro lacks a good pk boost. Make sure you get a solid pk boost to use lightly at week 3, and heavily starting week 5. Best pk boosts I have used so far are bud xl by h+g and advanced nutrients x booster. I think x boostermight have changed its name, I used it last year.
