Add Bud | Flowering Enhancer & Nutrient Stabiliser for Bigger, Denser Blooms
Add Bud is a high-performance flowering enhancer formulated with advanced chelating agents to maximise nutrient bioavailability, stabilise solution pH, and drive heavier, denser bloom development throughout the flowering stage. It works by improving ion exchange efficiency at the root membrane, ensuring plants can access and utilise the nutrients already present in your feed program.
In intensive bloom cycles, nutrient lockout, pH drift, and reduced cation exchange capacity (CEC) are among the most common causes of underperforming flowers. Add Bud addresses these at a biochemical level — without harsh chemical shortcuts or synthetic PGRs.
Key Ingredients & Their Functions
-
Vitamins & Kelp-Derived Hormones (Folic Acid & Cytokinins)
Stimulates metabolic activity, supports cellular division, and maintains plants at peak physiological health through to harvest. -
Fulvic Acid (Natural Chelation & Ion Exchange)
Forms soluble complexes with mineral ions, promoting anion and cation exchange at the root membrane and increasing the bioavailability of nutrients already present in your reservoir. - Trace Elements & Mineral Complex (Structural Building Blocks) Supplies the micronutrients required for enzymatic function, chlorophyll synthesis, and the biochemical processes underpinning flower formation and density development.
-
Chelating Agents (pH Buffering & Solution Stability)
Stabilises the nutrient solution against pH drift caused by poor water quality, inconsistent feeding, or biological activity in the root zone.
Key Benefits
- Increases nutrient bioavailability through fulvic acid chelation and improved ion exchange
- Stabilises solution pH to maintain consistent nutrient uptake throughout bloom
- Drives bigger, denser flower development during the critical swell phase
- Enhances root zone microbial activity and cellular metabolism
- Reduces nutrient lockout risk in hydro, coco, and soil systems
- PGR-free, clean-input formula — no synthetic hormones or harsh chemistry
How to Use
Apply throughout the flowering and bloom stage alongside your base bloom nutrients. Consistent use during the critical swell phase is where density and weight are built.
- When to Use: Flowering and bloom stage
- Application: Add to nutrient solution alongside bloom nutrients
- Compatible Systems: Hydroponics, coco coir, and soil

Frequently Asked Questions
When do I start using Add Bud?
Introduce Add Bud at the start of the flowering or fruiting stage — typically when you switch your light cycle to 12/12 for photoperiod plants or when pre-flowers appear on autoflowers. Early introduction primes the plant for heavy flower production. Some growers start Add Bud during the final 1–2 weeks of vegetative growth to front-load the transition. Follow the feeding chart for your specific crop.
Can I use Add Bud alongside my base nutrient?
Yes — Add Bud is designed to complement your existing base nutrient. Add your base nutrient first, then add Add Bud and any other additives. Always check total EC after mixing to ensure you are not overfeeding. If EC is too high, reduce your base nutrient dose proportionally rather than reducing Add Bud — the booster's specialised chemistry should remain at full dose for best results.
Will Add Bud affect my nutrient solution's pH?
Adding Add Bud may shift your reservoir pH slightly. Always measure and adjust pH after adding all nutrients and additives. Target pH 5.8–6.2 for hydroponics and coco, 6.0–6.5 for soil. Use a calibrated pH meter and pH Up or pH Down solution to dial in your final reading.
Does Add Bud ship fast within Australia?
Yes — Add Bud ships from our Australian warehouse with fast tracked delivery Australia-wide. Most east coast orders arrive within 2–5 business days. WA, NT, and TAS orders typically arrive within 5–12 business days.
