Grow Mediums Bud sweeteners?

[Chris Stroupe]

Does anyone recommend using bud sweeteners like bud candy or Humboldt honey? Are these beneficial in the late stages of flowering? Had anyone used these type of products and seen results or are they can waste of money?

People use them with amazing results, but it does seem that AN Bud Candy leaves a residual flavor that is present in any flower, some terpenes are masked by this flavor. Some are not that intense, great for increasing your plant's metabolism. I used Botanicare Sweet Raw to bring out already present terpene profiles

Thanks for the input, I just can't decide if I should use it! Lol

Why should you use it?

I'm a chronic under ferter because I am mainly outdoor.
using LED my plants struggled to keep up with the increased metabolism.

I reluctantly shelled out for a fert regime..veg..flower and bud Candy.......almost Fainting at the cost..................but it more than paid for itself in increased bud in the first grow...

BUD candy Seemed to be the trigger for me.

I notice no particular increase in sweetness..but I tasted no residuals either..just the difference in bud yield.

Not my Normal grow skill..all down to the ferts...

Well I don't have to, but some swear it makes difference with the buds taste and gives denser buds and some day they can't tell a difference

Those look beefy Mossy! Nice... What week did you implement the bud candy where you saw them starting to blow up?

My experience is for bud candy and a few other additives.

Taste is to subjective as is scent IMHO... That said, bud candy increases berry scented terps and terpinator is more citrus and pine boosting . I know of one recipe that's been on another forum for years "bud candy" (homemade = magnesium sulfate and dark brown sugar taken to X°f well mixed into h20).

Here is a partial chemical analysis of bud candy.

Here is terpinator.

Here is bud ignitor; just a pk boost @ 0-1-2.

I can't say the carbs, aminos, proteins, vitamins, chelated or otherwise, with some cool enzymes don't very well increase the availability and/or efficiency of product x to the plants cause idk much beyond observational experience. Most any A-B or M-G-B complete fertilizer with great environmental consistency and quality light is hard to beat indoors

Here is two more that match what I posted above Sweet Raw (Mg sulfate) and Resinator (K sulfate)
