There’s a lot more to fuelling bigger flowers than giving your plants correct ratios and types of potassium and phosphorus.

It turns out that floral production revs up most when your plants are provided the full range and correct forms of substances called amino acids, which are building blocks of proteins, terpenoids, phenols and alkaloids.
This means you want to give 20 “L-form” amino acids to your plants, with especially important doses of L-tryptophan, L-Cysteine, L-Glutamate and L-Glycine.
 

Why the special emphasis on these four L-form amino acids? Here’s the scoop:

Your plants utilize L-tryptophan to create an important floral growth hormone called indole acetic acid (IAA). Boosting synthesis of IAA creates larger flowers with more potency-Cysteine provides sulphur, and along with L-Glycine is a prime element in the formation of an internal plant protectant compound called glutathione. Because many hydroponics nutrients provide no amino acids, and because indoor gardening is inherently stressful to plants, tissue samples show that many plants have glutathione deficiency that slows down metabolic function and results in lower yield sizes.

Not only are you now aware of the crucial role amino acids play in floral production and overall plant health, but it’s also important to have the L-form of amino acids rather than the less-complex “D” form aminos.
For one thing, your plants’ cells need all 20 amino acids, but some amino acids are harder for plants to create or absorb. Not only that, but few bloom boosters contain amino acids, and almost all the ones that do contain inferior D-aminos that plants have a hard time utilizing because they are less water soluble.
Please remember that only L-form amino acids are the ideal forms for easy absorption and proven yield increase.

Make Your Flowers Bigger By Helping Your Plants Breathe, Metabolize And Produce

So far, you’ve seen how bud builder product research shows that precise and appropriate ratios of potassium and phosphorus create larger flowers and that L-form amino acids help plants make larger, better-formed flowers that carry more potency and value.

But the good news just keeps getting better because other substances such as citric acid directly supplement cellular respiration, help your plants transfer nutrients and energy from roots to all other plant parts, and increase your plants’ ability to transform sugars into energy. In addition, ascorbic acid (as ascorbate) revs up photosynthesis.
The bottom line is that ascorbic acid, citric acid, all 20 L-form amino acids, potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium are found in the correct ratios in the easy-to-use liquid bud potentiator created by our scientists. It’s called Big Bud®.

Here’s what you’re guaranteed to see when you use Big Bud:

• More Flowers
• Bigger Flowers
• Flowers With Higher Market Value
• Liquid Formula for Easier Mixing and Absorption
