bud candy+ff cha-ching=???

[hissinroaches]

im a caregiver for a couple friends who are ill and i decided to plant some bagseed until we can get some white widow or ak and all plants turned out to be girlsexcept for 4 hermies.im somewhat overcrowded but wth....it bagseed,right?well im growing under 600watt hps with 2ft-t5 bloom bulbs for side lighting and a 4ft-t5 just for kicks.in a 4x4 custom made snake cage.(snakey died last year)i dont have many nute to use yet. im going to be getting the full line up from foxfarm,unless i learn of something better as i go.but for now i have started with some 24-8-16 mg all purpose plant food during veg. then went with 15-30-15 expert gardener all purpose plant food for the first couple weeks of flowering.now i have some bud candy and cha-ching and was wondering if i can use cha-ching in the middle of third week of flowering along with the bud candy and keep having good results?over all...not looking bad for a bunch of bagseed!oh...im using a mix of pro mix,ff ocean forest,bat poop,worm castings,perlite,vermaculite for my soil. any advice would be absorbed.thanks

they look very light, if i was you, i would try to feed them with a mix of both 24-8-16 and 15-30-15 at a 50/50. you should feed at 1/3 to 1/2 strenght, never more. bud candy is sulfur/amino acid/carbohydrate additive, you can use it from start to finish but it doesn't Worth the money, in my experience.Can't be bad for plant tho. i dont know what is cha-ching but you should try to stay as simple as possible if u dont know what you are doing.

Fox farms is good, but skip the cha ching and other "additives" . They are not needed and your wallet will thank you. If you go the route of FF as a base (grow big/tiger bloom/other bottle), remember to keep using grow big in flower as tiger bloom lacks adequate nitrogen.

Personally I'd go buy Jacks Classic and Jacks citrus for basically the same cost as those three bottles and not only will you have a complete fertilizer but it will last you so many more grows.

Eta looking good mate. I'd consider getting done good ceeds now. I should help eliminate herms and improve quality

 

[hissinroaches]

thanks for the advice.the plants actually look dark green,the hps lights and the rubber green case on my iphone gives off a cloudy green tint.any good seed banks you perfer

Personally I've purchased everything from attitude with zero problems. I've had 5 flawless orders. I have heard goofs things about The Seed Depot as well and I'm considering placing an order.
Two things to keep in mind, always get stealth as if they get confiscated the bank will reship and always see if you can find a discount code.

Keep them green!

My understanding of bud candy is that it's pretty much just sugars to help with taste and smell and can be used with pretty much everything. I use bud candy for all 6 weeks of my boosters with the AN nutrient line. It's good stuff. Makes my nugs smell like... well... candy.

 

[TonightYou]

You could easily use molasses if that was your theory on bud candy, of which I don't subscribe to as that's not how a plant works.

 

[TonightYou]

Oh and if you are looking for affordable, quality ceeds, check out Sannies. I haven't yet grown them but reviews are always pretty positive and they really work lines.

 

[weedemart]

check peakseedbc / hempdepot. I heard very good things on sannies.

Bud candy doesnt make buds smell like candy, and molasses and bud candy arent the same thing. Just sayin

 

[weedemart]

but sweet citrus make buds smell citrus and floranectar pineapple make buds smell pineapple some beer will do the job too as it contain carbs and will make your buds smell beer.

... plants don't uptake sugars, they produce their own. ... just sayin. It's botony 101

 

[weedemart]

on a serious note, yes plant uptake sugars but not from roots but from leaves. just sayin. polysaccharide are the best form of carb for foliar feeding and can be found in fish emulsion with lot of other beneficial shit like pgr,amino acids ,npk and vitamin !

 

[Jbone77]

Im not debating on how beneficial anything is, im simply saying bud candy doesnt make your buds taste like candy and bud candy and molasses arent the same thing

 

[weedemart]

ye man I know. I'm not debating.

Bud candy is a formula of carbohydrates that including dextrose, glucose and xylose from raw cane extract as well as other extracts. The only nutrient it has is a tiny bit of magnesium. Check out the advance nutrients web site for yourself.

I suppose your right that bud candy isn't actually sugars, it's just the components the plants will use to make their own sugars. And yes it's true that bud doesn't make your buds actually smell like candy, it just brings out the aromas and flavors that already exist in the strain you're growing, in other wards, it smells good. The carbs can also help pack on weight.

so way to go super literal, nay saying roll it uppers, you guys really put me in my place.

How is it being super literal when you say it makes my buds smell like candy?

 

[hissinroaches]

heres beginning of week 5 of flowering update of my bagseed grow using 1/4 tsp. cha-ching and 1 tsp. of mollassass every other watering...

 

[churchhaze]

Even if I grew in soil, I still wouldn't add carbs of any kind to my soil unless that soil was sitting in compost.

Let's say weed could take sugars up the xylem (it can't), why would anyone in their right mind want their buds to taste sweeter? The best smoke is low sugar and low starch from a good dry and cure.

It's all bullshit either way. You aren't going to get bigger buds from carbs. Plants get ALL their carbon from the atmosphere. Sugar in the roots is like letting food fall into your lungs. It's not supposed to go there and will block important channels.

You're clogging the channels that potassium, calcium, and magnesium are supposed to get through for NO REASON.
