Manutec Bloom Booster

[ffc99]

Hi gang, I am using an autopot system and am now going into the flowering stage. :thumbsup

 

I bought some Manutec Bloom Booster and was wondering how much I should use. The box says 5g per 5 litres, but I guess that is for general garden use, not hydroponic use.

 

Any and all feedback about how to get the biggest flowers is appreciated.

Hey ffc99 I've got this Bloom booster as i use it on my legal garden and its good.

Now i don't know the mix you would use for hydro but if some one could post the recommended strength in ppm for flowering then i can make up a couple of mixes to find the required measurements for ya, as i have an excellent Bluelab Truncheon.

I have used it b4 but my memory is stuffed so i would only be guessing!

It would be best to get one designed for hydroponic use, you may find that a few of the contents are different.

Thanks to all who posted! The genuine hydro stuff seems expensive and I know some people have used Bloom Booster with success! I will try and see what happens.

 

I will keep you posted on my success :thumbsup

As for PPM, I would make up a nute mix to about 1200ppm and then slowly add the bloom booster to around 1400ppm.

See how that goes for ya.

 

The same people that make that booster also make Hydroponic nutrients.

Hey Ferengi and anyone else,this is the analysis for Bloom Booster, would appreciate your comments on wether this alone, is sufficient to see a plant through its flowering stage with good results in hyro setup?

Its only a booster, it isnt designed to replace nutrients but to add to them.

It may provide enough though?

No mate its a complete hydroponic mix.

 

Hey Frazzle manutec is a cheap option, but you don't really save money by buying something that doesn't work. MJ plants need a higher level of magnesium than a standard hydroponic mix so you may need to supplement, or you may not. Only trial and error will tell you. You may grow with it and find its great, who knows until you try.

So you have used the bloom booster on its own as a fertiliser? sweet, cant argue with that mate.

I just figured it was like potash etc.

 

So then I assume that the Manutec Hydroponic fertiliser pack that you can buy is just the same sorta thing with Nitrogen added???

 

ive never used these but have seen them.

I never said I used it, but it is a complete hydroponic nutrient made for flowering. I believe there is a "grow" form of manutec as well to use in the veg stage.
