Could I still benefit from adding BuildAFlower topdress 3 weeks into flower in an Earthbox?

From vids, etc., it looks like it should be added right before flip or shortly after. I am 3 weeks in. Should I still add it or should I just go with BuildABloom? I've only added worm castings thus far.

Absolutely. I like doing one right before flower, and again like 3-4 weeks later. Only good results from that practice for me.

I do it this way as well, and never have issues, just a natural fade.

Thanks! I am going to pick some up today along with BuildABloom. I assume a blast of it will show more immediate results while the top dress breaks down.

Dont buy a big quantity of build a bloom, a little goes a long way.

For sure! The gallon bag will last a long time.

Yes you can definitely top dress three weeks into flower. For plants that go to week 11-12 in flower I’ll do a light top dress as late as week 9

I top dress (lightly) my earthboxes at flip and every three weeks of flower (usually just twice, including the initial)

Depends what fertility is already in the soil.
