£149.95

A concentrated 0-0-0 flowering biostimulant designed to support flower quality, aroma and strong crop development throughout bloom.

Advanced Nutrients Bud Factor X is a flowering supplement developed to support high-value crops as they move through bloom. Rather than acting as another NPK fertiliser, its role is to complement the existing base nutrient and flowering programme as a specialist biostimulant.

Advanced Nutrients positions Bud Factor X around the development of high-quality, resinous flowers with strong aroma, flavour and valuable plant compounds. It is also associated with supporting robust plant and stem development as crops carry increasing flower mass.

The 5L format is particularly useful for commercial growers, larger reservoirs and repeated flowering cycles. At the recommended 2ml/L application concentration, 5L provides 2,500 litres' worth of individual treatment solution.

Why choose Advanced Nutrients Bud Factor X?

  • Specialist flowering biostimulant – developed specifically to complement feeding programmes during bloom.
  • Supports flower quality – formulated around the development of high-value flowers with desirable crop characteristics.
  • Supports aroma & flavour development – Advanced Nutrients positions Bud Factor X for crops where flower quality and valuable aromatic compounds matter.
  • Supports robust crop development – designed to complement plant and stem performance as flowering progresses.
  • 0-0-0 formulation – works as a biostimulant rather than another conventional NPK base nutrient.
  • 2ml/L application concentration – straightforward measuring for small tanks and commercial reservoirs alike.
  • Weekly flowering application – current UK guidance specifies use once per week during flowering.
  • Hydroponic & coco compatible – suitable for diverse hydroponic media, coco coir and continuous liquid-feed systems.
  • Commercial 5L format – well suited to larger growing facilities and repeated flowering programmes.

What is Advanced Nutrients Bud Factor X suitable for?

Bud Factor X is designed for flowering crops where growers want to add a specialist biostimulant alongside their normal base nutrient and bloom supplements. Its role is focused on crop quality rather than simply increasing the NPK concentration of the nutrient solution.

For Creation's crop-stage guidance, Bud Factor X is best treated as a flowering-stage supplement. Apply it once per week through the flowering feeding period, then discontinue it for the final flush.

Advanced Nutrients identifies Bud Factor X as suitable for indoor and outdoor cultivation, regular watering, irrigation systems, hydroponics and coco coir. It is also designed for continuous liquid-feed systems including aeroponics, drip irrigation and emitters, nutrient film technique (NFT), flood and drain and deep water culture (DWC).

How to use Advanced Nutrients Bud Factor X

Use Bud Factor X at 2ml per litre once per week during flowering. Add it as part of the normal flowering nutrient programme and discontinue use when the crop enters its final flush.

At 2ml/L, a 10L treatment requires 20ml, 50L requires 100ml and 100L requires 200ml. For larger commercial reservoirs, 500L requires 1L of Bud Factor X for an individual weekly treatment.

Shake the container thoroughly before measuring to ensure the formulation is evenly mixed before it is added to the nutrient solution.

Advanced Nutrients Bud Factor X FAQs

What is Advanced Nutrients Bud Factor X?

Bud Factor X is a specialist 0-0-0 flowering biostimulant designed to complement a complete nutrient programme and support flower quality, aroma and robust crop development during bloom.

What does Bud Factor X do?

Bud Factor X is designed to create favourable conditions for the development of high-quality flowers. Advanced Nutrients positions it around flower quality, aroma, flavour and valuable plant compounds rather than simply supplying additional NPK.

Is Bud Factor X a bloom booster?

It is a flowering supplement, but it works differently from a conventional phosphorus and potassium bloom booster. Bud Factor X has an NPK of 0-0-0 and is better described as a flowering biostimulant used alongside the main nutrient and bloom programme.

What is the NPK of Bud Factor X?

Advanced Nutrients Bud Factor X has an NPK analysis of 0-0-0.

How much Bud Factor X should I use?

Use Bud Factor X at 2ml per litre of nutrient solution. Current UK application guidance specifies using this treatment once per week during flowering.

Do I use Bud Factor X at every feed?

No. Current application guidance specifies a 2ml/L treatment once per week during the flowering stage rather than adding Bud Factor X to every feed.

When should I use Bud Factor X?

Use Bud Factor X during the flowering feeding period. Continue the weekly application as flowering develops and discontinue it for the final flush.

How much Bud Factor X do I need for 10 litres?

A 10L treatment requires 20ml of Bud Factor X at the recommended 2ml/L concentration.

How much Bud Factor X do I need for 100 litres?

Use 200ml of Bud Factor X for a 100L treatment at 2ml/L.

How much Bud Factor X do I need for a 500L reservoir?

A 500L treatment requires 1 litre of Bud Factor X at the recommended concentration.

How much treatment solution can I make with 5L of Bud Factor X?

At 2ml/L, a 5L container provides enough concentrate for 2,500 litres of individual treatment solution. Because the current application protocol is once weekly, this should not be interpreted as continuous dosing at every irrigation.

Can Bud Factor X be used in hydroponics?

Yes. Bud Factor X is suitable for hydroponic growing and continuous liquid-feed systems including aeroponics, drip irrigation, NFT, flood and drain and deep water culture.

Can Bud Factor X be used in coco?

Yes. Advanced Nutrients specifically identifies Bud Factor X as suitable for coco coir.

Yes. Bud Factor X is compatible with Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect base nutrients as well as non-pH Perfect base nutrients and compatible third-party feeding programmes.

What is the difference between Bud Factor X and BFX?

They are different Advanced Nutrients products. Bud Factor X is the original flowering biostimulant sold here, while BFX is a newer formula developed as the next evolution of the Bud Factor X concept. The two products should not be treated as having the same formulation or technical specification.

Is the 5L Bud Factor X suitable for commercial growers?

Yes. The 5L container is well suited to larger reservoirs and commercial flowering programmes where the product is applied repeatedly across multiple crops or growing zones.
