Overdrive®: Bigger Buds

What is Overdrive®?

Turn your plants into champion producers with Overdrive®. With an NPK ratio of 1-5-4, this premium bud hardener invites your garden to maintain peak performance all the way to the finish line. Our team of scientists engineered Overdrive with ideal amounts of phosphorus and magnesium to create the optimal conditions for catalyzing energy transfers within your plants, so they’ve got ample opportunity to bulk up your buds before flush.

Benefits of Overdrive®

• Bud Weight Increase: Plants continue packing on bud weight late in the game, resulting in heavy flowers.
• Energy Surge: Creates conditions to provide an unexpected surge of energy for sustaining peak performance through your entire run.
• Optimized Nutrition: Robust nutrition optimizes plant life expectancy.

I use your Big Bud® with pH Perfect® Connoisseur® and get fantastic results. So why is Overdrive® useful for me?

Big Bud is indeed a top-producing bloom booster and pH Perfect Connoisseur is a premium base nutrients system. But Overdrive will take your crop to the next level. Our studies show that the bloom phase has sub-phases, each of which requires very specific types and ratios of ingredients. For plants in their last 2-3 weeks of growth, the ingredients in Overdrive are more effective at increasing crop value than those in Big Bud, most effective earlier in the bloom phase.

I used Overdrive® and it did not increase the size as much as it increased the potency, aroma, and taste. Is it typical for it to increase the quality of a crop?

In some crops, depending on genetics, crop environment, grower skill level, and other nutrients being used, you might see both a crop size and a crop quality increase. In other situations, Overdrive will primarily increase the percentages of essential oils, aromatics, and other value-adding compounds in your flowers.

What About pH And PPM When I Use Overdrive®?

If you are using Overdrive as part of our pH Perfect lineup, you have no need to be concerned about pH and PPM. Just use Overdrive as directed—the system is configured to balance all formulas together to be at the ideal absorbability and strength. If you are using Overdrive without using the system, it can increase PPM by as much as 200 PPM, and you would need to monitor your nutrient strength accordingly.

Do I use Overdrive® right up until the day I harvest?

Overdrive works for you during the last third of your bloom phase, but you get tastier, higher quality crops if you stop all feeding several days before and perform a flush using our Flawless Finish® additive.

Element Effects on Plants

• Nitrogen (N): Essential for plant growth, protein synthesis, and chlorophyll production. Promotes vigorous growth and green foliage.
• Phosphorus (P2O5): Vital for energy transfer, photosynthesis, and genetic material formation (DNA, RNA). Enhances root development and flowering.
• Potassium (K2O): Regulates water balance, protein synthesis, and overall plant growth. Increases disease resistance, improves flower and fruit quality, and enhances water use efficiency.
• Magnesium (Mg): Central component of chlorophyll, vital for photosynthesis. Supports energy production and nutrient uptake.
