Yea googled it and read a bit about krebs cycle (seems people need to same potassium for energy) which u seem to be increasing.
I see a lot of competitors with different K delivery like Potassium acetate (another exotic form to see) and sulfate but they advertise terpene/oil production. I wonder if your product is compatible with terpinator but im guessing as long as the plant is healthy because i see your product is basically hitting it with the fastest form of k and acts like a pgr to trigger the plant to burn energy and eat more hence its done in span per direction just like many pgrs.
I think it’s the increase sugars that add more taste to bud and make it smoother at least for smoking.
At your highest dose, 6ml x 20% K is 1.2g of K per 8oz or multiply by 0.0295735 to get it to convert to grams per L to get ppm so: 1.2g per 0.236588L
Unless my maths is wrong:
1.2g/L is already 1200ppm K.
X 4 now you have like 5000ppm instant K?
Actually 1.2g/liter is 12000 ppm ( 0.001mg/L = 1ppm)
Gyo…I’m proud your putting forth the effort to do some research…The Krebs Cycle is actually the way all plants, animals, and even bacteria produce energy…(although some anaerobic bacteria have altered it a bit).
Clarification…1.2gm/L = 12000 ppm (0.001mg/L=1ppm)
I’ll give you a interesting fact about K That many people don’t understand. As animals (and all animals) we use Sodium (Na) as an electrolite which is ideal for us because guess what, we have kidneys and a urinary tract to remove excess sodium…plants don’t…so they utilize Potassium (K) for the same purpose (electrolite). Here’s a little problem for plants…If you look at the Periodic Table of elements, you will see that Na sets right on top of K in the same column. That means that sodium is more reactive and can easily displace potassium, but potassium can’t displace sodium.
Now take that fact and consider this… Your plant roots are (for all intents and purposes) immobile in the soil. (yes I know the roots move through the soil, but the point is they can’t pick up and move if they find themselves in a inhospitable media.) Next thing to consider is that again because they are so close together in the Periodic Table the size difference between a Na atom and a K atom is miniscule. Roots CANNOT differentiate between the two and will passively absorb both directly related to the sodium/potassium ratio in that local soil (media) solution. Sodium in fact mitigates (blocks) Potassium’s important role in a tremendous number of oxidation/ reduction process’. Because plants have no other way of eliminating sodium, they will move it to the leaves, which of course burn and die…but guess what they fall off the plant and the plant got rid of a bit of sodium!
Point to the whole story is you want to keep the plant exposed to the minimum amount of sodium possible!
(Now I know someone is going to look up Sodium as a nutrient and they will find there are some cereals [barley?} varieties that seem to have some Na requirement) But I’m guessing most here are interested in cannbis, ornamentals, or fruit/vegetables…and certainly if you want to maximize your plant health…minimize the sodium ! (one of many reasons R/O or distlled water is so important in mixing your nutrient solutions and irrigating your plants FWIW
I do applaud your research as there are so many amazing doors opened to you with knowledge!
Good for you!
Please understand I’m trying to make valid general points without wading into the excentricities.
FWIW
GYO…I’ll help you with the math there a little bit…
Let’s start with the gal on BBP concentrate… 11.36 lbs X 20% = 2.272 lbs K in 1 gal
First we’ll convert that 11.36 lbs to grams for simplicity 11.36 X 453.59= 5152.78 gm/Gal BBP
Since the K is 20% we have 5152.78 X 20%= 1030.56 gms K per gal BBP
Now we need to know there are 3385.41 mL per US Gal…so I believe you want to know how much K in
6ml of BBP in your example…we’ll do that with a ratio equation …
1030.56 gm X gm So we cross multiply 1030.56 by 6 and divide by 3385.41
3385.41 ml 6 ml
There are actually 1.826473 GRAMS of K in the 6mL of BBP that you mentioned…
Remember this is in concentrate. You may want to consider your dilution (8oz=236.588mL)
excentricities is my middle name.
I like all the busted myths here.
Exact right BBP and the same theory goes for finishers and potassium pills that help people pass kidney stones.
We are related to plants in so many ways it’s pretty soul opening.
No, unfortunately we’re stuck here in the Peoples Socialist Quasi-Republic of California !
We deal with some great commercial ag growers here in Northern Cali, so I don’t forsee any chance of immigration!!
Hey, keep up the good fight for your cause and when you hit roadblocks don’t get down.
Remember adversity is actually very constructive…it forces re-assessment and change…
That road, seldom traveled, will get you where you’re going and you’ll find the trip was worth the effort!!
Hi there @BudBusterPro , I’ve been reading the thread over the past few days, since you came here. i like what I see cuz. I only have one real question before I ‘pull the trigger’ on ordering any lol
I’m a state licensed grower for sale to dispos in Oklahoma. They have fairly strict regulations in regards to testing. For instance, Spinosad… isn’t ‘banned’ on a federal level but it IS cause for a batch to fail if detected in test in several states, including OK. lol
Forgive me if it’s already been stated here, but all I can find on your site says ‘proprietary’ ingredients…I need to know if the secret ingredients will cause a batch I use you product on, be good to go for tests in Oklahoma.
Thnx for any response
Yes, Jammer just sent me some pictures this morning…That POTG looks like a Atlas5 rocket!!
LOL, I had to change that description cause when I got the picture I told my wife wow that looks like a big woody! So I only got one cup of coffee!
We’re a small ‘mom-n-pop’ op here, lol… otherwise called a ‘craft grower’ we delight in producing organic, small batch, top shelf flower for sale. We’ve been licensed 3yrs now, as that’s how long it’s been legalized in OK lol so to not go under, I guess we’re doing something half-ass right.
But, having been a 3rd gen gorilla grower my whole life, I’ve learned one thing. There’s always room for improvement, and my mind is always open to betterment.
Johnny, I understand your concerns. I have ABSOLUTELY no hazardous materials in this formulation whatsoever. From a ethical standpoint I just would never do it.
As I’ve mentioned here BudBusterPro completely penetrates leaf cuticle and surface epidermal cells very rapidly (certainly with 12 hours) where it is metabolized… Even the FD&C blue food color (added for a very good reason as described in the Product Information/Application Guide) is an organic molecule.(actually of a conjugated citric acid).
Commercial growers like yourself have been a MAJOR consideration in the development of this product. Being in Cali we are well aware of mandatory testing procedures and requirements.
I f you do decide to trial BudBusterPro I will be personally contacting you and ride shotgun for a grow or two until you fully understand how to utilize the product to your best advantage…Thanks for the question and if any others come up give just let me know!
Actually when I looked at the group picture I realized that was a auto cola! Looking at the leaves I’ll bet that was the twenty-twenty Go Go. I believe the POTG is actually the multi-cola in the background…
Theses are clones of @preybird1 Runtz x Slapz test seeds that have had @rflasch BudBusterPro spray on them since they grew their first set of leaves after potting (after rooting). They have been getting a LOT more nutrients than I gave the others without any sign of burn at all.
So far, this Prey and Bob combination of expertise, plus nutrient info gleaned from them both seems to quite a winning combination.
I just defoliated these a few days ago. When using the BBP, I have been trying to confine any defoliation to mid-week between sprays. Tonight is the last spray as these are two weeks into flower.
Honestly, I can’t say that we have…You’ve obviously been a living soil grower and I’m sure you have it dialed in. I guess my only caution is (as you can see in all the review provided) our treated plants do require a lot more nutrient from about mid veg through flower. Obviously more bud requires more nutrient support…you may consider that in the decision making process! Hey, thanks for the question…
You rang? Yes Jim did a nice job on his potg. I give him propts for what he grows in. I couldn’t do it in what he does He’ll he’s 6’5” bigger then his tent, have a bad back by the time it’s over
