New Grower What are your thoughts on sweeteners - Molasses. Bud Candy. Ripeners...

[Bigolnoob]

I have used them in the past near the flushing phase. Is this to late? Do you think it works as far as flavor goes? I have read that they don't work. Then I read where a guy throws fish guts in for fertilizer and his shit tasted like fish!! Please tell me what you know and how you do it. I would appreciate it mucho.. Thanks!!

My buddies here are big believers in using Sugaree and it's sour counterpart, which I can't remember the name of at the moment. I start using it when in my final flowering stages and through the flush. It seems to up the smell and the trichs.

Some of the TGA breeders grow in only super soil except for adding sugaree at the end. Take that for what it's worth.

Sour Dee is the name of the one you are thinking of blessed. Sugaree is the shiz!:thumbs:

I use sugaree and snowstorm ultra in flower. Not as a sweetener, but as a means of carbs and trich production. Sweeteners get washed out during the cleanse at the end, IMO. Strait tap water for 2 weeks will certainly flush most sweeteners out, unless you add it during the cleanse at the end. Which, IMO, you should not do. If your stuff tastes aweful, get a new strain to play with.

Thanks for that. I take it you do sugaree (I am researching now) before flush. Trichs are definable flavor. So on one hand I guess flavor but on the other it's used to make potent. My limited exp on such things leads me to ask. Would grow and flush.. The whole idea of carb loading was a wonder.

Tritons trawl and Aphrodite's extraction

I have been looking into them and am about to do a test grow of the Nectar for the gods line of organic nutrients.

TT is fishbone meal that helps enhance both the flavor and appearance of a plant.

AE is a pre digested form of sugar so its easily available to the plant. Its not a lead blanket like molasses can be and its directly absorbed by the plant as well as great microbial food

Tried Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy, it made all of my strains taste the same. Horrible fake sweet flavour.

I've used Sumo Ferts Dragon Force the last few grows and it's does seem to help ripen off.

Bud factor X is supposed to be good but I have no first hand knowledge....YET
