PCS Bloom A\u0026amp;B delivers all three from week one of flower, with Bloom A carrying the nitrogen, potassium and calcium and Bloom B carrying the bulk of the phosphorus and additional potassium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRunning both together rather than either alone matters because a flowering plant genuinely needs all three simultaneously, not phosphorus without the potassium to move the resulting sugars, or potassium without the phosphorus actually driving flower development in the first place. The dosing tapers deliberately across the cycle too, easing off the base from week 4 as PK Plus takes on more of the load, which keeps the plant from being pushed harder on phosphorus and potassium than it can actually use as flower development progresses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"quick-answer-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"quick-answer-title\"\u003eHow to Use, Full Feed Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #2C2C2A; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.55; margin: 0 0 16px;\"\u003eMix Bloom A and Bloom B in equal parts into water, never combine the two concentrates directly before diluting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 0 0 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ECE9DE;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 6px 8px 6px 0; color: #27500A; font-size: 13px; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.03em;\"\u003eWeek\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e1\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e2\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e3\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e4\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e5\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e6\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e7\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e8\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e9\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ECE9DE;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px 8px 6px 0; color: #2C2C2A;\"\u003eBloom A\u0026amp;B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlush\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #2C2C2A; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.55; margin: 0;\"\u003eTreat every dose in this table as a ceiling to work toward rather than a fixed starting point. How much a plant can actually use at any given week depends on how stable your environment is and where the plant genuinely sits in its own development, both of which shift throughout veg and flower and rarely track a printed schedule exactly. Start conservatively and build up as root health and environmental stability prove themselves, rather than feeding to the top of the table from week one.
