M.O.A.B. ( Mother of all blooms) is a popular commercial bloom enhancer and ripening agent, and it is easy to make your own (or something very close), at a fraction of the cost. With an extremely high phosphorous and potassium NPK rating, it is designed to increase the size and density of your harvest. It helps induce flowering, and during the last few weeks of flowering for added levels of phosphorus and potassium to increase the size and trichome production of your buds.
RECIPE:
908.19 grams of Mono-potassium phosphate (aka MKP)
90.81 grams of Mono-ammonium phosphate (aka MAP)
1.0 gram of powdered soluble Thiamine HCL ( aka Vitamin B1)
(you can obviously make more or less, just divide or increase the recipe ratios accordingly. It’s a 10:1 ratio of MKP to MAP with roughly a 100:1 ratio of MAP to vitamin B).
These are easily purchased on Amazon or eBay or at your local hydroponics store. For what you would spend on one small container of the commercial product you can make a lifetime supply. The Thiamine HCL is important, even though it is there in such small quantities, since most other nutrients don’t supply a lot of vitamin B, and it helps with the uptake of the MPK and MAP.
USAGE:
During early flowering (first week) use 5ml (1 tsp) per 5 gallons, and in late Flowering (last 2 to 3 weeks) use 5-10 ml (1-2 tsp) per 5 gallons.
NOTE: The amount of base nutrients used may need to be reduced by as much as 50% when using this, and over feeding may burn plants.
When used in combination with Hammerhead or a similar PK boost it is known to help create frosty giant dense buds. You can learn how to make your own Hammerhead here :
