For future reference If anyone looking for a cheap alternative to bud candy or cut back on the use of bud candy use sucanat 2 tbls per gallon teaspoon citric acid powder or 1 tbl per gallon with bud candy at 1ml per litre,good luck

I thought the reason for the molasses was for the microbes to eat and other nutrients molasses has not that the sugar is for the plant itself

Bud candy is nothing more than a magnesium supplement: http://www.advancednutrients.com/hydroponics/products/bud_candy/bud_candy_faq_nutrient_facts.php
There may or may not be sugars in that as well in which case molasses is a much more economical option.

The reason Bud Candy has magnesium on the ingredients is because essentially, the regulators require something that's a standard plant nutrient on the label, and sugars, for example, hormones, and other things, don't qualify as plant food by their definition. So basically, with a lot of these products in weed growing, they just toss in a qualifying ingredient so they can call it fertilizer.

If you're crushing it, you probably do have money to burn.

Go spend your money on over priced and over hyped products. Ill stay with soil and molasses, your guys' bud candy is just fancy advertisement. These people know how gullible you people are, especially taking all advice you see on forums. Do your own experiments if you really think you'll do better. Compare your results with what you see here if you feel it necessary. I know I'm not making these soon to be monopolies any stronger...

Your plant already produces it's own sugars and has a limited ability to take up carbs. If you have money to waste, send it to me, I'll put it to better use ;).

The sugars (carbs) that are produced by bud candy are not meant to be absorbed by the plant itself but by microbes in the root zone, making the microbes more active. Making nutrients more available to be absorbed by the roots.

Maybe if one is growing organically then sugars in the soil could give the microbes a boost. But I'd recommend against buying expensive hydro store sugars in a bottle.

Advanced nutrients sensi grow and bloom work great come out to a couple dollars more per pound than competitors prices when you buy the granular powder but all that bud candy and stuff are unnecessary

I really dont know what to tell you. I'm fairly sure human beings work at Advanced Nutrients. Human beings are inherently prone to making mistakes. Now I may be going out on a limb here but bare with me. I'm pretty sure that AN hired a human being to build their website and I'm willing to bet that human being made a mistake. Maybe I'm crazy. Now it's a possibility that they hired a Romulan, which ofcourse are incapable of making mistakes (ie Spock). If this is the case then I am just a liar. Or maybe they hired a fresh water trout, which odviously has no hands or fingers or critical thinking ability. As a result I highly doubt they would make the fresh water trout head of web develpoment, I would think a trout would do better in sales or maybe CEO.

Look just go to a store and look at a bottle yourself. I mean its pretty odvious thats its a mistake. If you look at the tiny gif picture it has a long list of ingredients, then when you click on it to enlarge it magically erases all those ingredients and goes to a gif that just lists magnesium. Bud Candy has no magnesium in it!!!!

And hell no it doesnt make all your buds taste the same.

after reading through this thread i went and had a Musashi shake and wondered what would happen, if you fermented a few scoops of Musashi in water for a few days before giving it to your plants in coco mid flower

think this is the softdrink list , looks the goods for hydro, but would like to try the whey powder on a plant as well and see if it likes it has alot of amino acids in it
