that product shaves 2 weeks off your flowering time and keeps your plant shorter. It's expensive, but it's your only hope if you're looking for a plant to be ready for harvest by the 10th of April.
good luck

No problem man, good luck!
Are you familiar with how to apply it? it's a very sensitive additive that you'll want to be careful with so you don't burn down your whole crop. I can let you know the best way to go about that if you need

Of course brotha, helping is my hobby! I did my first grow once too, and without people giving me some gentle guidance and assistance my plant wouldn't have come out nearly as nice as it did.
anyhow, down to business-
the 4oz will be enough to last you for years my friend! The application rate is 1ml per gallon, and you only run it for 2-3 days. firstly, NO other nutrients in your aero garden while this is running. like, NONE. this is the most important part.... just use plain water (bottled would be safest even) with 1ml (or even a little less to be safe) of bushmaster per gallon. if you can raise your light on the aerogarden then I would go ahead and do that too, but with the CFLs you should be fine if you can't.
Then, after 3 days of the bushmaster in your reservoir switch back to nutrients, but step up slowly back to your current strength. give her 2 days of 1/4 strength nutes, 2 days of 1/2 strength, and then try a full strength solution.
This stuff causes a MASSIVE uptake of nutrients so you need to keep a very close eye on your plant for the first couple days of this treatment. If you see any signs of nutrient burn then change your res water to plain water with NO bushmaster immediately. same thing after the treatment, if you step her up to 1/4 strength nutes and notice any burn whatsoever, immediately get rid of the water and replace with pure H2O for another day.
I know that all sounds very intimidating and dangerous but it's very safe to use and yields amazing results if you do it right. I've got faith in your skills, post pics and ask questions if you have any worries whatsoever!
good luck!

Yes sir, sounds like you're right on track
nutrient burn is simply when the plant gets overloaded with food and starts to burn. 
as for figuring out what your garden holds, I wouldn't worry about it. just find an empty milk jug and put 1ml of the Bushmaster into the jug and then fill with water. Pour as much into your garden as you need, doesn't matter how much you use because it's all at the correct concentration, and then you don't have to go messing around with measuring 1/3 of a ml if your garden only holds 1/3 gal. see what I mean?

Haha yeah, 4/20 was the first day this website existed! The Growery started as an offshoot of the Shroomery and I was a member over there before this site existed, so on the grand opening I ran over here and registered. 
I'd say you can start flowering whenever you want. The directions say to use it for your first couple days of flowering so if you started flowering them today or tonight and add the bushmaster tomorrow that would be perfect. Sorry I didn't get back to you last night so you could flip the lights at midnight... hopefully you did anyway

It's strain dependant, some strains can handle 3ml and be okay, but some can't even handle a drop. I'm recommending 1ml cause I would absolutely hate to see you burn down your only little girl 
I've never heard of anyone using 7.5ml though... I don't think there's a plant on earth that would survive that.
the best part about it though is that you'll get the same results with 1ml/gal as you will with 3-4. no reason to push it IMO

Actually I have to be honest, I haven't used bushmaster myself but one of my growing buddies has. I've personally used the other two from the trio, called PurpleMaxx/snowstorm and Gravity. All three are equally potent and similar application instructions so I feel confident in my advice here.
Just remember, every strain is different, keep a close eye on her for the next couple hours

oooooo no.... it's not a miracle cure for cannabis. What do you mean the newer leaves were dying like the old ones? can you post a picture?

hmm, looks okay to me, maybe just a tad underfed. your newest growth looks fine, it looks to me like the problem is on the lowest leaves and working it's way up which is a sign of not enough food IME.
Wait until after this treatment and then give her some food. Cannabis is far hungrier than what the aerogarden was intended for so that's likely your problem

She won't grow with the bushmaster. that's the main thing that product is designed for, it eliminates the stretch of the plant so that you can veg for longer and still keep them short. The shortening of flowering time is just a byproduct - if the plant doesn't spend 2 weeks stretching and growing taller then it goes straight into flowering mode and reduces the total time until harvest.
Don't worry, by next week you'll see pistils and be surprised with how pretty she is

If you have a general hydroponics store in your town then go get some floranova bloom! You won be sad

How exactly does it work and whats the price? Like does it do something special for the plant now that its flowering? And how would I apply this to my aerogarden since I already have nutrients in it. Would I empty my water reservoir and put new water in with the new nutrients? Thanks for the help btw
I'ts just specifically formulated for cannabis (although they never publicly state that, it's very obvious that it is). So providing your plant with the exact amounts of all the nutritious ions it requires to flower will make it put out far more weight and quality than just using generic nutrients designed for random herbs and veggies.
and yes, dump out your current water and add some of the floranova to a fresh batch. about 4-5ml per gallon would be my guess, but it could probably handle up to 6 or so. Can you show us a picture of the root system so we can see how developed it is?
Also, how strong is your light? the stronger the light the more food you can give your plant, and the more you will yield

yeah I would think those could handle a full strength feeding, around 5-6ml/gallon or so. once again keep an eye on them to make sure it's not too much food but they should be good.
Adding more light will be greatly beneficial too if you can afford it.

honestly I have no idea how your smaller plant will handle it, but the general rule is that giving them more light means they can handle more nutes My guess is that it will be fine, but like I said, keep an eye on it and if it starts to look unhappy then you should dilute your solution a little
