Bloom boosters are a very popular product among hydroponics growers. Almost 91.7% of hydroponics growers use bloom boosters every bloom cycle. Bloom boosters can benefit your plants in many ways. They could mean larger, heavier and denser flowers.
Bloom booster treated flowers give you more essential oils, aromatics, terpenoids, phenols and other potency factors. This significantly increases the harvest weight and market value of your crops.
Many bloom boosters do not meet the goals they came to achieve. Poorly absorbed forms of phosphorus and potassium are the most common culprits and are sadly the main ingredient in fault bloom boosters.
Worse still, bloom boosters often have incorrect ratios and varieties of potassium or phosphorus. Plants need more potassium and less phosphorus while they are blooming. Too much phosphorus can cause toxicity that is detrimental to flower production and damages overall plant health. Apart from damaging your crops, the crops will also taste harsh and might hurt your throat and lungs.
What your plants actually need is the full range of bloom booster nutrients designed to enhance your blooms. Such bloom booster products would typically include amino acids, which are building blocks of proteins, terpenoids, phenols and alkaloids. This means you want to give 20 "L-form" amino acids to your plants, with especially important doses of L-tryptophan, L-Cysteine, L-Glutamate and L-Glycine.
Some amino acids are harder for plants to create or absorb though they need all 20 amino acids. But few bloom boosters contain amino acids, and almost all the ones that do contain inferior D-aminos that plants have a hard time utilizing because they are less water soluble.
Do remember that only L-form amino acids are the ideal forms for easy absorption and proven yield increase.
