Has anybody had success using liquid kool bloom in place of tiger bloom? I mean still using big bloom and grow big but replacing tiger bloom with liquid cool bloom. I haven't been feeding much and my tigerbloom is old but this liquid kool bloom is new. Thoughts?

Liquid Kool Bloom vs. Tiger Bloom: - Nutrient Composition: Both Liquid Kool Bloom and Tiger Bloom are bloom enhancers, but they have slightly different nutrient compositions. Liquid Kool Bloom typically contains a higher phosphorus-to-potassium ratio, which can promote flower development. - Phosphorus Boost: Liquid Kool Bloom's higher phosphorus content makes it a suitable choice during the flowering stage when plants demand more phosphorus for robust bud formation. - Replacing Tiger Bloom: Since you're considering using Liquid Kool Bloom in place of Tiger Bloom, you can adapt your feeding schedule accordingly. Keep using Big Bloom and Grow Big for a well-rounded nutrient regimen. Points to Consider: - Compatibility: Ensure that Liquid Kool Bloom is compatible with the rest of your nutrient lineup, especially with Big Bloom and Grow Big. Check the manufacturer's guidelines for compatibility recommendations. - Transition: If you decide to switch from Tiger Bloom to Liquid Kool Bloom, gradually transition to avoid shocking the plants. Gradual changes can help plants adapt more smoothly. - Application Rates: Follow the recommended application rates for Liquid Kool Bloom as provided on the label. Adjust as needed based on plant response. - Monitor: Keep a close eye on your plants after the switch to ensure they respond positively to the new nutrient mix. Look for signs of improved flowering and overall health. Old Tiger Bloom: If your Tiger Bloom is old and might have degraded in quality, using Liquid Kool Bloom as a replacement could be a smart move. Fresh nutrients are generally more effective in promoting healthy plant growth. Switching to Liquid Kool Bloom while continuing to use Big Bloom and Grow Big can potentially support robust flowering and bud development. Remember that individual plant responses can vary, so closely monitor your plants' progress and adjust your regimen if needed. Have fun buddy

Kool bloom is 0-10-10 Magnesium Phosphate, Potassium Phosphate, Potassium Sulphate Tiger bloom is 2-8-4 Calcium nitrate, magnesium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate, potassium phosphate, potassium nitrate, earthworm castings, Norwegian kelp, iron EDTA, zinc EDTA, manganese EDTA, copper EDTA, chelating agent, disodium ethylenediamine tetra acetate (EDTA), sodium borate and sodium molybdate. slightly different ratio of NPK and lota micros in tiger bloom, If the rest of your feed does not have micros you may run into issues. Good Luck!

the only concern is if a precipitate can form - this would cause molecules to 'fall' out of the water as solids. crackheads are familiar with this sort of reaction, lol, whether they know it or not. calcium and .. sulfur is biggest issue if not mistaken. an insoluble form of gypsum can result. This is more of an issue at very high concentrations. if you read ingredients and see these two things at high levels, mix separately before mixing together. at the applied concentration it should not be a problem, but directly out of the bottle might be. i make 100:1 concentrations. my calcium nitrate must be a separate stock solution than my 5-12-26 base. otherwise, i'd get a precipitate. That's used at 1.28 ounces per gallon, to give context of concentration. (or 10mL per liter) but, even with the normal mixing instructions dropping dry nutes into a gallon, it specifically says to mix the base before diluting the calcium nitrate, due to that concern.
