what do you think of bud candy? i got in a bit of a pick here, i used it up to my finale weeks before my crystals turned milky white, around week 7. now i am flushing (soil) with clear-x. and feeding with only, ro water.but on the bottle it says to stop using it on week 6. what do you think? :wtf:
As with most carbo-load products which are usually cane sugar or sugar beet extracts...it's way overpriced. (using AN products is an expensive addiction) I've used unsulfered molasses for the past year with great results, and it provides all the calcium, magnesium, iron and carbs a plant could ever need. In other words...molasses replaces CalMag Plus and Bud Candy...at a fraction of the costs.Quote:

i think bud candy is the shit bro but the new one is kind of different the one with the coco label on it is kinda water down not like the old one which look like syrup and is kinda thick.
The old formula had molasses in it, the new one doesn't.Quote:

Molasses is a crappy way to sweeten up your grow. I've heard too many bad things about molasses and it making grows be a waste. It seems like grows are just doomed to fail - or maybe folks just don't know how to use it. I know I don't. But then again, I figure using products made for MJ growing make the most sense.
I'll leave the molasses for Christmas cookies. Of course, I'm not sure which one is yummier. My grow or cookies. Mmm. Maybe I need both......:hippy:
wow ive heard the exact opposite with molasses and had used it in the past with great results! molasses has more micro nutes than an bud candy. bud candy is mainly designed for hydro grows. dont bad mouth products if you only heard about it and didnt try it. it is really good for soil. im testing right now in my hydro for 2 weeks flowering and is working out great. i do 2 tbls fr 25gallons.Quote:

water/nutes/water+mol/nutes/water and so on!
I don't know all the good/bad rep of molasses but I can sure tell you that it works great for me in soil/soilless. For hydro I would be afraid of algae/slime.
That is because it is molasses that is more expensive than molasses.Quote:
