Instructions: You apply max 2 ml of Bud Ignitor per 1 litre of water in the first two weeks of the bloom phase.
Overdrive
What it does: Overdrive stimulates the plants to get as much mass into the fruits as possible just before harvest by extending the late-blooming and ripening stage.
Instructions: You apply max 2 ml of Overdrive per 1 litre of water in the last two weeks of the bloom phase.
Big Bud
What it does: Big Bud is a liquid PK booster that boosts flower production and overall plant health. Speeds up photosynthesis increase plants’ ability to transform sugars into energy and help plants transfer nutrients and energy from roots to other plant parts.
Instructions: You use a max of 2 ml of Big Bud per 1 litre of water from the second week of bloom phase up until you switch to Overdrive.
Big Bud Coco
What it does: Big Bud Coco is the Advanced Nutrients PK booster, specifically designed for growing in coco coir. This Advanced Nutrients booster gives you bigger flowers, increased harvest weight, more essential oils and aroma. It contains a specifically chelated form of iron that protects crops from nutrient deficiencies related to coco coir.
Instructions: You use a max of 2 ml of Big Bud Coco per 1 Litre of water from the second week of bloom phase up until you switch to Overdrive.

Substrate Supplements – Sensizym
What it does: Sensizym can be used to reuse growing media such as Rockwool and coco coir. This Advanced Nutrients additive turns organic waste and other debris in the root zone into carbohydrates that boost yields, fuel growth and terpene production. It also prevents root rot and kills harmful fungi and insects.
Instructions: Use Sensizym at a maximum of 2 ml per Litre of water during the bloom stage.
Potency & Stalk Strengtheners
Nirvana
What it does: Nirvana is a bloom booster containing worm castings, kelp, alfalfa meal, krill meal, amino acids. This Advanced Nutrients additive stimulates and sustains an increased metabolic rate in crops, increases chlorophyll and helps plants use CO2 more effectively. It gives faster growth rates, stronger stalks, larger and denser blooms, larger leaves, and a bushier plant.
Instructions: Use Nirvana at a maximum of 2 ml per litre of water starting from the third week of the blooming stage.
Rhino Skin
What it does: Rhino Skin is a potassium silicate formula that acts as armour for crops. It strengthens them, protects them from heat, stress, pests and infections while it also increases the production of trichomes and their potency.
Instructions: Apply a maximum of 2 ml of Rhino Skin per 1 litre of water throughout the whole bloom phase.
Bud Factor X
What it does: Bud Factor X is a resin and terpene enhancer that improves crops’ natural defence mechanisms by maximizing the production of resins, essential oils and terpenoids. This Advanced Nutrients additive also boosts crops’ size and harvest weight.
Instructions: Apply a maximum of 2 ml of Bud Factor X per 1 litre of water throughout the blooming phase.
B-52
What it does: B-52 is a B-vitamin formula that boosts plants’ immune and metabolic systems while promoting growth with increased enzymatic activity and amino acid synthesis. It can also be used to strengthen seedlings, transplants and clones and to shorten the veg phase for transplants.
Instructions: Apply B-52 during the vegetative phase at a maximum of 2 ml per 1 litre of water. Continue with the same feeding ratio from the third week of the blooming phase until the week before flushing.
Advanced Nutrients Root Supplements
Tarantula
What it does: Tarantula is a blend of 11 strains of beneficial rhizobacteria. This beneficial bacterial inoculant increases root mass, improves nutrient uptake, increases secondary or lateral roots, and safeguards the root zone. It also increases the production of essential oil-rich biomass in crops.
Instructions: Use Tarantula at a maximum of 2 ml per 1 litre of water in the first two weeks of both the vegetative and flowering phases.
Piranha
What it does: Piranha is a blend of 11 strains of beneficial mycorrhizal fungi.

Instructions: Use Piranha at a maximum of 2 ml per 1 litre of water in the first two weeks of both the vegetative and flowering phases.
Voodoo Juice
What it does: Voodoo Juice is a root mass expander, a proprietary blend of 12 strains of beneficial rhizobacteria. It increases root mass by producing thicker roots, stems, and larger root systems. Since it increases water and nutrient absorption (and transport), none of the nutrients fed to crops will go to waste.
Instructions: Use Voodoo Juice at a maximum of 2 ml per 1 litre of water in the first two weeks of both the vegetative and flowering phases.
Flawless Finish for Flushing
What it does: Flawless Finish is a flushing solution that cleanses crops from unnecessary and toxic elements (such as nitrates and nitrites) before harvest. It minimizes the number of residual nutrients the plant has collected over the growth and gives cleaner, safer, higher-quality crops.
Instructions: Apply Flawless Finish once at a maximum of 2 ml per 1 litre of water, leave it in there for around 3-6 hours, then continue your flush for the rest of the week with plain water.
