Flowering boosters. Advanced Nutrients Big Bud is a classic phosphorus and potassium bloom booster for soil, coco and hydro, used to increase flower size and weight. Big Bud Coco takes the same formula and adapts it for coco coir. It includes iron, which coco tends to lock up and which plants grown in coco often run short of.

Carbohydrates. Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy is a mix of natural sugars and carbohydrates that gives plants energy and feeds the beneficial microbes around the roots. It's part of the Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect range.

Biostimulant. Advanced Nutrients Bud Factor X is a biostimulant for flowering, aimed at flavour, aroma and overall crop quality. It is made for hydroponic media and continuous liquid-feed systems.

Late flowering. Advanced Nutrients Overdrive is used in the final weeks of flowering to keep plants producing rather than slowing down, for denser, heavier flowers at the finish.

Choosing the right Advanced Nutrients products

These are all additives, not base nutrients, so they sit on top of the grow and bloom feed you already use. Think about timing and your growing medium:

Early to mid flowering. Big Bud is the main yield booster. If you grow in coco, choose Big Bud Coco instead, because it allows for coco's habit of holding on to iron and calcium.

Throughout flowering. Bud Candy gives plants and root-zone microbes a steady supply of carbohydrates. Bud Factor X is aimed at quality rather than weight.

Final weeks. Overdrive takes over late in flowering to help plants finish strongly.

You don't need all five. A common setup is one PK booster (Big Bud or Big Bud Coco) plus Overdrive to finish. Always check the label dosage and adjust pH after adding everything.

Advanced Nutrients FAQs

Can I use Advanced Nutrients boosters with other brands?

Yes. These are flowering additives designed to go alongside a base feed, so most growers use them with the nutrients they already have.

What's the difference between Big Bud and Big Bud Coco?

Big Bud Coco is the same idea adapted for coco coir, with added iron to suit the way coco holds on to nutrients.

When do I use Overdrive?

In the final weeks of flowering, after your main bloom booster.
