This one will get it too. How far into flower can KaBoom and the other booster be used?
There’s a separate one for roots that’s for veg. Correct? Root drench or another foliar?

That is used only at transition to flower.
It is best used right at the flip of 12 hour flower cycle and only 1 time.
After that wait 1 week and use part 2.
Part 2 make the plant stack the nodes for fuller buds.
The root explosion is mainly for veg but you can use it early in flower too.
I would cut back on the root explosion after 2 weeks of flower.
That is best used as a drench, but a foliar would not harm anything.
Stop all products at least 3 weeks before harvest.

Here is a bit more on the subject.
Kaboom 1 time at flip to 12-12.
Part 2, 1 week later use 2 times 1 week apart.
Use the regular booster all other weeks.
Do not use 2 treatments in the same week even in veg.
If you use root explosion don’t use the regular booster that week.
If you use the kaboom part 1-2 do not use the root explosion after the flip to 12/12
Stop the root explosion at flip to 12/12

Me too on the roots. I get inconsistent roots. I’m using Xtreme Gardening Mykos and Dynomyco these days. The Xtreme product seemed to help, but not huge. I need to start brewing compost teas again. That does make a difference.
My timing is off to take full advantage of the Kaboom where I can see a difference.
I’ve got Hygrozyme in the mix too. Forgot about that one. Something I had for a specific purpose awhile back. I’d like not needing it. Nothing is cheap.

I use the dry product in the soil.
I am a cheap bastard. If I can grow it, harvest it from the wild or make it myself I will. Look into what Aloe Vera will do for your cannabis plants. After the intial investment on plants it is a renewable resource that is hardy and easy to take care of. Aloe is a true super food for plants.
The smaller light green aloe grows the fastest and is the edible kind for humans.

So I’m checking this out. Not stacking boosts, but staggering the different boosts. Makes good sense to me. I rarely feed my plants the same thing 2 times in a row. Except yucca. The nute charts all show different optimal ph ranges. I let my ph float a bit.
I think by taking this approach , the plants have all the nutes available to use when needed. I don’t appear to be causing any lockouts, toxicity, or big deficiencies.
Do I go to the corner with the pointy hat @shag ? Or am I close?
Yes, no hat need today but don’t lose it you may need it soon. 
A plant natural wants to stretch when you flip the light to 12/12.
Kaboom just tells the plant what to do with all of that energy.
I focuses the energy into the side shoots.
And no there is no palcobutrazol, CCC, alar, ect. in the kaboom in case anyone is wondering. 
None of the ingredients are on the prohibited items list.
Nothing wrong with that, within reason.
PH fluctuation is natural for a plant and helps the plant absorb nutrient better.
Wild swings in PH are a very bad thing.

I shoot fora 6.2ph. From there if it floats up, or down it’s not very far and in a decent spot.

ya 6.2 to 6.7 any where in there in soil will get the job done.
peace …

Not much I ever use drops it below 6. I hate having to adjust ph. “Oops …3 drops too many.” Easier to let it drift than chasing it.

I have a product called Kaboom from Dr. Z. Is this the same product that you are talking about?

No, this is something I made myself.
Mind you I have been working on these things for about 10 years.
I have been using them for almost as long.
Think of Bud Buster Pro it works kinda like that.
I say kinda cause I don’t know what they put in theirs.

@Sdoyle I’ve been using stuff from @shag for a couple years now. I hadn’t seen him comment on them, so I chose not to. I trust him with what I consume , via smoke. When I had some issues a couple years back, he had solutions. I went quite a ways, changing nothing with excellent results.
When he asked if I was interested in trying something, I jumped in. Still in, deep as ever.

These are all Grapefruit GORGs but the 2 on the left. One was flipped 7-8 days earlier. It’s 16-20" taller! Crazy stretch! I wonder if any of the others will catch up?
