also i didnt write but you should use the slime cure tea because it makes the roots grow about 3x faster, especially during veg and early flower.
an the previous guy is right bud candy feeds bad bacteria as well as your plant, it has sugars in it. you wanna brew the tea until the molasses is used up by the beneficial microbes, and then let the benes kill the algae and bacteria. + hes also right about not using ISO after the tea, i learned the hard way, once you kill the benes, the algae/bacteria go crazy on their bodies.
the molasses makes the tea as good as any sweetener i think anyways, ide start using that instead, maybe use the bud candy in the tea if it has organic ingredients. also maybe look at nirvana, probably the cheapest thing made by AN, and i really like it and it goes great in the tea.
