Botanicare Sweet up till harvest?

[Revanche21]

or stop applying during final flushing?

Personally, I'd stop a week before harvest. If you still want to run sugar,, switch to molasses. There are other fertilizer components in Sweet that I'd prefer to let get used up before I chop.

what is in sweet that differs from BSM? (Blackstrap Mollassus)

[stinkyattic]

It's got some micronutrients in it but I'm not certain as to its exact composition. The one I'd worry about is Magnesium since that is actually the component of chlorophyll that causes the worst burning sensation at the back of your throat when you smoke an improperly flushed or cured bud. Try looking up the product and they should tell you on the label.

Not being a 100% organic grower,I like to flush for two weeks...During the first week of flush they get water with either Sweet or molasses...The second week they get only water with at least one dose of FinalFlush...If I can squeeze in another watering with FinalFlush,even better,but some strains are thirstier than others...:jointsmile:

on a side note:

shows all the metals in all brands of fertilizers and how much each gets to which state (since each state has different levels?)

I've always been taught to use ONLY water during flushing but I'll be talking to my hydro guy soon and I'll ask him about it.
