Description
Bud-XL is designed to increase the size and robustness of the flowers, resulting in an increase in fruit production and greater turnover.
Start adding to the nutrient solution after the first flowers are formed. This is the period when the storage bracts lose their function; Bud-XL ensures that the plant's energy is no longer used for keeping the bracts, extracts their sugars, exporting them to the flowers or fruits.
Dilute at a rate of up to 1ml/l.

How to use
Start adding Bud XL to the nutrient solution once the first flowers have formed, at up to 1 ml per litre.
House & Garden say that at this point the plant stops needing the small leaves (bracts) that store sugars, and Bud XL moves those sugars to the flowers or fruit instead.
Check the EC of the finished feed with a pH and EC meter. More House & Garden products are under House & Garden, and more boosters in PK boosters.
