My friend, who is running a hydro system, says that those instructions should not be followed, as he did this before and had problems. He says to use the Top Activator 3 times AT MOST during flowering, with 7-10 days between each use, and never use it in the last three weeks (bad taste).

His Top Activator was stronger than mine (I believe he had 0-13-14, but I am not positive).

So, who is right, the bottle or my friend? Has anyone else had experiences combining the two, and what did you learn?

Any comments are much appreciated!
I've been using Canna products (CoCo), I've learned to use all the products for however your growing at half strength. Your budding stimulator (Activator) should also be used at half strength for one or two waterings only not above 1050 ppm. NO other addatives needed other than your Canna nutes A & B? Cannazym, I would replace if you havent already used the activator with PK 13/14 as a one time use only, then add your Canna Flores or Vega at half strength.

My exp tells me no more than 75% recommended dosage as it causes a fast nute burn. PH5.5 - 5.7, PPM 850-950 max for first six weeks flowering and flush 10 days to harvest.
