Has anyone any advice regards the use of Canna boost stimulants. They cost a lot but do they justify the cost? £209 per 5 ltrs. Not interested in the manufacturers bumf as I have read it. Want first hand advice if possible. Thanks.

Dr. Hornsby's big bud £10 a lt does the job


*Edit to add*... Dude you have to have the longest user name on the tinternet

I use Canna Boost Accelerator and as far as I`m concerned it`s good stuff

Burnage

the only canna product i use is pk13/14, otherwise its growthtechnolgy all the way, i think canna spends too much on advertising, this has an effect on the end product. it may be good but its very pricey

i'm currently trialing canna boost now, £18 for 1 litre, well exspensive, i'm personally not impressed with it at all and will be going back to advanced nutrients and their stimulants i.e big bud, carboload and overdrive, used before with tip top results

he/she is a parrot fancier i fancy.

Hey! I don't care what their sexuality is.







Just to add: The Canna Boost stimulant would have to be flippin' impressive to justify that cost. Personally, I'd go for PK13/14 for a week, half way through flowering. It'll save you a fortune.

i agree with A-M, i use pk13/14 3 weeks before flush and ionic bost

I'm using it for the first time and i'm pretty convinced it's made a difference. Buds seem to be all over her and have alot more crystal on them. Read somewhere on here that a guy used it on his white russians and the taste was sweeter.

Expensive but worth a go imo. See what you think

Didn't think Advanced Big Bud is that kind of product. May be wrong, but thought it was basically PK 13/14? Canna boost has little or no ec value, should not be used instead of usual nutes, just as a supplement

£18 quid for 1 ltr! i payed £48.

on trying this stuff myself just trying the first tank full hope its good stuff

i used boost last time at a quite diluted rate and had an increase in yield..5%-ish

this time i'm giving my girls more, a litre spread over the flowering period (last time was 250 ml).
i dont use any bloom boosters normally,not even pk,so it will be interesting to see what happens

im using the canna range at the moment, having used ionic and the bio bizz organic range.. i think it's worth the money, i only switched after comparing yields with a mate using the said nutes.

lets just say he is still smiling...

i pay £50 odd quid a ltr though...

they are so lush just now compared to how they look normally, especially compared with ionic.

peace.

Remember seeing a post on 420 from someone who spoke to a rep (i think) from canna who said the solution on sale today is a diluted form (dont know by how much) of what canna came up with first.

That may explain why the instructions on the bottle say to double the recommended dose if you want an extra flowering boost.

Would be nice if you had an unlimited supply of this! As it only lasts 1 week in ya res' (mine 70ltr), adding full dose all the way thru flower would cost you a shit load.

Gotta weigh up how much benefit you are getting from the extra expenditure.

Personally i'm happy to pay abit more to get the best buds I can from my homegrown as it gives me alot of enjoyment and it don't bother me that my hard earned cash is going to make me & me ladies happy, not some scummy dealer selling schwag

have to admit i have used it and just got some more , found the plants looked healthy and the lower buds did appear to have a bit more meat on them.

Cheers peds

i've been using Bat Guana for a while with good effect.

also a friend has been using Ozi Tonic and Monster bud which are suppisdly organic and def add some yield.

tbh I find it hard to work out if a product has helped with the yield as my strains, veg times and plant numbers are always different

I think you mean £18 for 250ml.

Another cannaboost user here, 2nd time for me & im fairly certain its working as advertised certainly more chunky buds lower down where before would have bin popcorn, it is expensive though @£50 a ltr

Take it easy

Well what the hell - gonna give it a go. Got some ladies in last two weeks of flower - is this likely to benefit from using the boost?

Have another 20 gone into F/R two days ago so will be starting them on it in another week. I like to continue with 50% grow feed and 50% flores before going full tilt Flores so holding back till then

Those that are already using - would any of you start to it to plants with just 2 weeks to go or would it be a waste?

I used it last grow and am using this time as well.
I like it, expensive though at £40odd notes a litre.

Last harvest was a bit over what I was expecting and the bud was real hard and dense and tasted "oh so sweet".

But it was my first time using Canna, so hard to tell if it was just the Canna nutes themselves.

what dose do people use this at in NFT im gonna pick a litre up and use from start of week 3 till i flush alongside vitalink buddy im growing cheese..

Psitta (the rest of your name is unpronouncable!), wouldn't bother in the last 2 weeks, save it for next time, would have thought you'd be close to flushing them?

Highgrade, would stick to the dose of 200ml/ 100ltrs (think thats wot the bottle says). Does say for an extra flowering boost to double that, tho that would cost a fortune.

Would be good to see a comparison, one with none and the rest with varying doses of boost. I aint got room for that tho!

i've got a bottle of ripen i'm try next time .....its a bit cheaper also
http://www.uk420.com/boards/index.php?show...=58970&st=0

Ripens a different type of product alltogether mate .......its not a flower booster, it actually tells the plant its time to die, in doing so the plants tries to push itself to "ripen" asap

Take it easy

cq20v

I agree Ripen ain't a booster. It's as CQ20V has said it's to ripen your plant.

i was thinking more on the last 10 days as it says on the tub

edit then flush for two weeks

never used it yet( ....stuck with what i know for the crop i've been doing....didn't want to have trouble with new vars so kept it simple)

A+B and pk

so cheers for the info there guys

I've used the canna boost now a few times and i give it the big thumbs up. More budding sites,denser buds and more flavour.It cost me £17 per crop,same price as 1/8 of shit funnily anough!

heya all

imho boosters r for dealers
lets get more weight, sell a bit more etc etc etc

it don't make the thc/cbd any better, just puts weight on

if ya grow ya own, care for it, mother it, sing to it

u will get a better buzz knowing u better than them scumm who deal

tis not the weight that matters it's the quality

jus think u about to smoke yer first 1 of yer grow..... first toke... god damn it tastes nice.... second omg kicking in already...... third why the hell i buy it.........

tis all about quality not weight

all the best jgs

JollyGoodSmoke - tis all about quality not weight

IMHO - The weight is of course what matters. The selection of the plant grown also matters. That gives you the quality of the smoke. Of course we all love and tend our plants as best we can but that must also include getting the best quantity from the plant grown. If it's volume over quality then most would be doing the Big Bud grows......I prefer the S/S and Northern lights so that's my personal choice. Old grower so I don't like to change. Just about broke my heart moving to Hydro but glad I did. Too old and knackered to be humping compost about.

I would rather have a A superskunk that produces 2 oz a plant than a Superskunk that produces 1 oz. Also if the bud thickens and looks nice then that also gives me a real buzz.

I will take Photo's of these without and in 6 weeks I will take photo's with and compare. All the same clones at the same age but 1 lot in Wilma the next in NFT.

Looking at the plants two weeks off now shows first milky/just turning brown pistles so yes it's too late to use Boost on them but I have another lot been in a week so they will get it. Just got a Litre of it for £45 from an online supplier who was found with the search engine (G***** Typed in Canna Boost) Local hydro wants £57. I gave them a print out and asked if they could match the £250+ order but they refused - Their loss.. The prices of all nuetrients can vary so much it pays to shop about. The local shop are going to stock 5litre bottles so the price may come down when they become widely available but so far Ive been quoted £209 per 5 litres. Anyone know of a better price?

some good replys but i hadnt noticed if anybody has used new from CANNA

the organic bio range

i think it is new

Organic Bio Boost is a different product Heavy Smoker Canna Boost is for hydro ladies

one thing i have found using boost is it blocks my drippers up i think it would be best for nft growers or flood and drain

its early days for me with canna boost but it seems to be a product that does have a significant effect on the productivity of my plants.
i've been running the same room for a few years now so its fairly easy for me to pick up on any improvements and this stuff does seem to work,other folk using it seem to notice the same.

but...what is it? i mean what is inside the bottle? (i'm sure it doesnt cost anything like 50 quid a litre to make) i know the make up of nutrient formulae is a bit of an esoteric subject but does anyone have an idea of what might be happening when i put boost in my tank?

Hi there cf mate, i also use the cannaboost & im impressed myself with improved budding all over my sk#1s, i aint got a clue what it contains but i was told what it does is speed up the plants metabolism........does seem weird giving my plants what looks almost like guiness but then again i dont drink
what it actually contains canna seem to be keeping close to there chest anyway if i dig anything up about it i will be sure to do a post on it

Take it easy

cq20v

not sure what its made of or what the effects are but have found it improve the size of the lower buds and seems to improve resin production any one tried smoking bud yet is it sweeter smoke ?

I added boost yesterday around 5ish and this morning I noticed first trichs.. first time im working with the cheese so dunno if they would of done that anyway but looks good to me, this stuff smells like a plant in Jamaica cant think what one tho I got my mate to taste a bit he reckons it tastes sweet gonna add some vitalink buddy on monday (21 days in) and will post smoke report of cheese with boost vs cheese without boost when their finished I think Ill let them go for 9 weeks...

vitalink buddy top tackle.

Blackstrap molasses looks like guinness, when added to water.

i do like this stuff but is does block drippers up and leaves a build up in your tank after a few weeks only other problem is the coast of the stuff it seems to improve bottom bud production and resin production and may bee taste but for the money value pk 13/14 is the best product for increased yields i think the boost is more for the quality grower smoker

i use vita link bloom parts a and b,

bcuzz hydro boost,

bcuzz root stimulator for the vegin period

bcuzz bloom for the for the buddin

not had any problems with what i grow with so far been doing it now for 2 grows on a home made hydro bubbler system

this is my new set up

peace out guys/gals

Thing is with canna boost accelerator its not just about gaining weight. I have been using it for a while now, and constantly not only do i get more, but the smoke tastes alot better and IMO seems a nicer high.

Its great stuff.

I agree with you there randomnut
The buds actually do taste sweeter to me as well as being bigger and more developed lower down the plant
