Cronk Bloom 0-5-3 | Flowering Stage Plant Fertilizer
Product Overview
Bloom 0-5-3 is a nitrogen-free flowering fertilizer that delivers elevated phosphorus and potassium for flower initiation, dense bud development, and enhanced resin production. The zero-nitrogen formula prevents vegetative interference during bloom, allowing plants to focus energy entirely on reproductive growth.
Excess nitrogen during flowering promotes unwanted leaf growth, delays maturation, and reduces flower quality. Bloom eliminates this problem while supplying the phosphorus for ATP energy production and potassium for terpene synthesis, sugar transport, and stem strength under heavy flower loads.
Key Benefits
- Zero nitrogen prevents leafy growth that diverts resources from flowers
- Elevated phosphorus (5%) drives flower initiation and energy-intensive bloom development
- Potassium (3%) enhances flower density, resin production, and aromatic compound synthesis
- Fully soluble for soil, coco coir, and hydroponic applications
Ideal For
Growers transitioning plants from vegetative growth to flowering. Gradually increase Bloom while decreasing Grow as plants enter and progress through bloom for optimized stage-specific nutrition.

- Add AFTER Micro and Grow have been thoroughly mixed
- Use with every feeding from seedling through harvest
- Use lower dosages during vegetative stage to prepare for flowering
- Increase to peak dosages during mid-late flowering for maximum bud development
- Maintain high dosages through week 8 of flowering for optimal yields
- For specific dosages and week-by-week schedule, see Feed Schedules section
⚠️ Mixing Order: Armadillo (if using) → Micro → Grow → Bloom (3rd) → Additives → Monkey Juice (LAST)
