When to use pk?

Post by Josh »

Hey growroom, seeing as I've never used a pk supplement during flower figured I'd ask around and see what you all recommended.

I happen to have a new bottle of pk boost from ionic, but reading the bottle it says to feed every week of flower except for flush. Thought this sounded fishy so called one of their engineers and he said to only use for a week or 2 maximum, weeks 5 or 6 of flower

So which is it? What have you guys found to be more effective? How many ml per L?

I trust your experience because I know a lot you use pk boosters
Thanks in advance!

I think the U.S. has a different distribution company, same manufacturer though. Packaging looks a bit different from what you guys get

Hey Josh,

I've never grown in water so please dont take what I say as advice for your setup.

What I know from growing in coco is people will use at different times depending on preference. I personally use pk from day 1 flower. The ratios are important though. I use a higher ratio pk at the very start to give the plants the elements they need as a kick start. I know some will do similar from week 2. Pk is essentially a boost for flower for this reason I like to use throughout the flowering cycle, I drop to lower ratio pk after 2 weeks. Going by them ratios I'd be happy to use throughout flower till flush. Its go real nice low ratios.

Thanks for the advice mate, I appreciate it
My base feed has pretty much the same pk ratio, should I worry at all about possibly overdoing it? And what would be a good ml per liter to go with in your oppinion?

I'll start using in a couple weeks prbly

Ml/l isn't the issue, it's EC you need to know mate. Once you know how many ml to your tank youl know forever :)

This is for coco?

What is recommended dosage on bottle?

As for over feeding, same as anything else, just keep an eye.
