Quick Answer
Advanced Nutrients Big Bud is a liquid 0-1-3 bloom additive for flowering plants. It is intended for hydroponic and controlled-environment growers who want to supplement a complete base nutrient program during the middle of bloom. This Shopify listing offers 250mL, 500mL and 1L bottles. The official use rate is 2mL per litre during bloom weeks 2 to 5.
Product Description
Advanced Nutrients Big Bud supplies phosphorus and potassium in a liquid formula designed for the bloom phase. Its guaranteed analysis is NPK 0-1-3, with a 1:3 phosphorus-to-potassium label ratio. The manufacturer lists monopotassium phosphate, potassium sulphate and whey protein hydrolysate among the source ingredients.
Big Bud is an additive, not a complete base nutrient. Use it alongside an appropriate base nutrient program and follow the product label and the official Advanced Nutrients feeding chart. The liquid formula can be used in common hydroponic irrigation systems when measured and mixed as directed.
