Hello all,

I am using Canna A+B, due to flower in about a week. My dilema is this........ I will be using Bigbud as my booster, but planning for the PK I am a bit unsure. Could I use PK13/14, 3 weeks before the chop? or should i use the Hammerhead from wk 2 -5, as I am going with Bigbud?

Cheers.

Hi Simon,

As far as I am aware, all/most nutes are essentially compatible with each other - they are all essentially the same thing anyway (very, very dilute aqueous salt solutions - essentially just water).

However, most people probably do tend to use products from the same range, as at least you know the products are designed with each other in mind. I use Growth Technology products, for example (Optimum Grow/Bloom and Ionic Boost*).

Your big-bud is an example of a metabolism boost* product - as it claims to "maximise plant efficiency" etc.

The P/K 13/14 and Hammerhead (P/K) products are the same type of product, just different brands.

Therefore, I would say you could use either whichever P/K product you wanted without worry.

I personally don't use a metabolism boost product, it sounds like witchery to me , but to each his own, of course.

*Interesting to note that the industry really could do us all a favour by clearing up its terminology. For example, my Ionic Boost is a P/K product, not a metabolism booster like Canna Boost / Big Bud. Can be very confusing for consumers. Fucking jargon, eh? A good thing about using products from the same range is that it can help avoid mixing up product types due to terminology confusion, as described.

Cheers!

So thats that sorted.

Thanks for the help
