Good nutrition, adequate water and plenty of light. After this, it is all about genetics. There is nothing really you can give that will cause the plant to grow buds bigger than her genetics allow. Feeding your plants with the correct nutrition allows the plant to grow her best buds and display her true genetic potential, but there is no product that can change a plants genetics and cause it to grow extra larger buds. Having grown shiskaberry a few times, you won't have to do much, her flowers are awesome! Hope this helps, Organoman.

Well I dont agree with some of the comments said there certainly are organic extracts that can boost your yields when compared to other products. There is tons of reasearch saying as such why do you think we feed our plants to begin with if none of the chemicals are proven to improve plant growth and health you need amino acids like fulvic and humic acids these can be used by the plant as an extra source of energy and there is research and papers stated in the agricultural world again that prove this there are direct connections made in the root zones called biostimulants that can boost a plants immunity and overall production yes there is some genetics in the seed which is going to determin the ultimate yield but there are certainly products out there that are proven to increase yields. I mean we all use NPK feeds try not using them and see how much yield you get its just common sense. Personally working for a nutrient company that uses organic extracts in thier formula i would say give it a shot and see for youself but many will disagree. I also dont agree with the process of back building it is very touch and go in my experience and does not happen all the time the way you want it I also think any unneeded stress in flower is best. in my experience plants hate being trained or played with in flower the first 30 days espeically. Best of luck anyway whatever you decide to do.

there is no product out there that will give you 'much' bigger buds than the genetics of the plant. I'd love to read that research paper, if it exists. there are methods of growing that allow for greater cellular growth within the plant, but it is still limited by its genetics. Grow plants equally well and some grow donkey dicks, some only grow golfball nugs at nodes... simple as that. we are more likely to hurt a plant when trying a thousand methods thrown at a wall and hoping something sticks. in soilless so it is easy... feed a 650-750ppm mix of well-balanced nutrients and get 10-15% runoff each time... wait for top layer to change color, then repeat... always let runoff go down drain or toss it outside. If you want a good target PPM to shoot for, check out any of my diaries except the oldest ones. there is a table each week for PPM. I may make tiny adjustments based on observation of plants, but it's not ever far off from what you see. your tap water may make Ca, Mg, S needs a bit different than mine.. i have quite hard water, so i have some Mg S and Ca at higher levels than most in my tap water. if you use RO, you very likely need a bit more of each of these than i do. mybe only be 5-10% but there is a high chance of different needs with different water. the npk stuff should be fine... maintain 6pH as best you can... little under, little over gives room for error, vs shooting for "5.5-5.8" ... you drift to 5.5 or lower and you start having problems with Ca/Mg and such... sure, bombing it with more of each can ameliorate the lower pH, but then you risk lockout of other things.

Massive bloom formulation is the best additive that really works. I never bloom without it.

Sup.. Well there are many different things said about the subject,but I believe most of it has to do with the health of your plant in general.. did the grower actually grow the plant to its full potential.? Secondly.. genetics. There is a technique that I just resently started playing with. You don't really hear about it, coz I don't think alot is known about it. They call it Backbuilding. You basically top your flowers in week 4..Ish. Basically what happens is you stop the upward growth of the flower.. then they basically swell up like balls..that upward energy now goes sideways.. https://herbiesheadshop.com/blog/backbuilding-technique-how-to-pinch-cannabis-for-fatter-buds Check to the link. Have fun.. happy growing!
