Using Bud Factor X with other Advanced Nutrients products:
Bud Factor X is a flowering biostimulant rather than a complete base fertilizer. Use it alongside an appropriate base nutrient program.
- pH Perfect Grow, Micro and Bloom: Supplies complete primary, secondary and micronutrient nutrition while Bud Factor X provides flowering-stage biostimulant support.
- pH Perfect Sensi Bloom: Use both base components as directed, adding Bud Factor X at its scheduled flowering rate.
- pH Perfect Connoisseur Bloom: Compatible with this premium flowering base when incorporated according to the Advanced Nutrients feeding chart.
- Advanced Nutrients BB: BB supplies additional phosphorus and potassium during flowering weeks 2–5, while Bud Factor X contains no guaranteed NPK.
- B-52: Provides B vitamins, kelp, humic acid and supplemental plant nutrition during its designated flowering weeks.
- Rhino Skin: Supplies silica for structural support and can complement the stalk-strengthening role associated with Bud Factor X.
- Nirvana: Provides a separate blend of botanical and organic-derived inputs for flowering plants. Use according to the appropriate feeding chart.
- Bud Candy: Advanced Nutrients recommends not adding Bud Candy and Bud Factor X to the same reservoir on the same day. Alternate their application days when both products are included in the feeding program.
- Overdrive: Supports late-flowering development and may be used during its designated stage while Bud Factor X continues according to the feeding chart.
- Flawless Finish: Discontinue Bud Factor X and other regular supplements before beginning the final flushing program.
Mix the base nutrients into water first. Add supplements individually, stirring thoroughly between each product. Check the final EC or ppm and pH after everything is fully diluted.
Product distinction:
This listing is for the original Advanced Nutrients Bud Factor X formula. It is not the newer Advanced Nutrients BFX Elite Series product.
BFX is a separate 8th-generation formulation featuring SAReplex technology, white willow bark extract and magnesium. The products have different ingredients, application schedules and manufacturer claims and should not be treated as interchangeable.
