What is Big Bud® Powder?
Big Bud® Powder is the world's best-selling bloom booster, now available in a convenient and comprehensive water-soluble powder form.
Big Bud Powder increases bud weight by introducing an ideal P (15) K (35) ratio to your plants, preventing phosphorus toxicity. This ensures you can grow safe, clean, and high-quality flowers that demand top prices in today's market.
Plants benefit from highly absorbable forms of L-amino acids, potassium, and phosphorus. High-quality raw materials provide optimal conditions to strengthen and plump up flowering structures. It mixes easily and dissolves completely.
Big Bud Powder is specifically designed for use with various hydroponic growing environments and continuous liquid feeding systems such as aeroponics, drip irrigation, emitters, NFT, flood and drain, deep water culture, soil, and coco.
Big Bud Powder is compatible with all pH Perfect Base Nutrients, as well as all non-pH Perfect Base Nutrients, support products, and competitor Base Nutrients.
What is in Big Bud® Powder?
NPK: 0 Nitrogen - 15 Phosphorus - 35 Potassium
Can I Use Big Bud® Powder as My Only Bloom Booster or Should I Use It with Other Recommended Bloom Boosters?
Big Bud can be used as a standalone bloom booster, and you will see larger buds as a result. However, our research indicates that using our complete line of bloom boosters (Bud Ignitor, Big Bud, Bud Candy, and Overdrive) results in even larger and higher market value crops.
Will I Experience Issues with Over-Fertilization When Using Big Bud® Powder with My Potent Base Nutrients?
Our scientists have designed customized programs for each of our base nutrients, so you can use Big Bud as specified in the basic feeding schedule and achieve larger buds without worrying about nutrient burn. When using Big Bud as part of the Bigger Yields Flowering System®, the system is configured to balance pH and PPM levels optimally, so you don't have to worry about them.
Why Does Big Bud® Come in a Powder Formulation?
The powder formulation allows for greater absorption and is easier for growers to use.
What Kind of Yield Increase Can I Expect from Big Bud® Powder?
Depending on your strain, growing conditions, and level within our Bigger Yields System, you can see up to a 27% increase in harvest weight attributed to Big Bud.

Guaranteed Analysis Components and Their Effects on Plants
Available Phosphate (P2O5): 15%
Function: Phosphorus is essential for energy transfer and photosynthesis in plants. It plays a crucial role in the development of flowers and fruits. Phosphorus also helps in the formation of DNA and RNA, promoting cell division and growth.
Effect: Increased phosphorus availability enhances root development, flower formation, and overall plant vigor. It helps plants to develop strong and healthy root systems and supports efficient nutrient uptake.
Soluble Potash (K2O): 35%
Function: Potassium is vital for various plant processes, including water regulation, protein synthesis, and overall growth. It is essential for enzyme activation and photosynthesis.
Effect: High levels of potassium improve flower and fruit quality, increase plant resistance to diseases and environmental stress, and enhance water use efficiency. Potassium also strengthens plant stems and improves drought resistance.
Sulfur (S): 10%
Function: Sulfur is a critical component of amino acids and proteins. It is involved in the synthesis of enzymes and vitamins, and it plays a role in chlorophyll formation.
Effect: Adequate sulfur levels enhance chlorophyll production, leading to improved photosynthesis and overall plant growth. Sulfur also improves the flavor and aroma of crops, particularly in alliums like garlic and onions.
Derived From:
Monopotassium Phosphate: This compound provides both phosphorus and potassium in a highly soluble form, making these nutrients readily available to plants. It supports energy transfer, photosynthesis, and overall plant growth.
Potassium Sulfate: This compound supplies potassium and sulfur. It helps improve plant strength, resistance to stress, and enhances the flavor and quality of crops. Potassium sulfate is particularly beneficial for plants that are sensitive to chloride, as it is a chloride-free source of potassium.
These components together create a balanced nutrient profile that supports vigorous plant growth, robust flowering, and high-quality fruit production. By providing essential nutrients in readily available forms, this formula ensures that plants can achieve their full potential in terms of yield and quality.
