apply 1-3T per gallon every 50 gal water,at last 2 weeks I add 2-4T every 50 gallons water.
great value, not paying for water, no mess and easy to use. reason why I add more sugars at end is to raise brix levels and feed the microbes ( like whole time )

How Sugars Play a Role in Cannabis
As all growers fret over increasing yields, most will overlook the amount of sugar within the plant. Sugar in cannabis is one of the most essential nutrients to its growth processes. Sugar levels in cannabis can be one of the main factors impacting its growth and its final weight at harvest. If the plant has enough available sugar, it can distribute it, causing buds to increase in size.All growers know photosynthesis is the plant’s process of converting sunlight into sugars. A healthy plant has high levels of sugars concentrated in its buds but will distribute sugars throughout the plant. Sugar distribution is referred to as sink strength, where the flow of sugar sinks into cannabis’s various structures. To increase sugars in the plant, growers must have the right tools to enhance and encourage sugar production.”

I use maybe a tablespoon of molassas to my mixing tote, when I mix up nutrients, or teas. Either a 5 or 10 gallons.
Since I fed my plants mycos, this wee bit would help the herd stay healthy.
I also think it can be over used , like the original 3Little Birds recipe, when it came out, it used enormous amounts.

I've been running this instead of mollasses the last 6 months. No complaints other than the price.

Of the microbes are after simple sugars and starches I've noticed in jadam non aerated ferments if I use left over pasta water,potato water the ferment runs/bubbles faster than if I didn't. Obviously as the microbes are feeding and growing exponentially. I'm wondering direct watering with that water along with whatever stage of growth fertilizer you are using to see if it boosts or not. Food for thought, tight arse on me shining
at present Happy Frog and Ocean Blend - with an inoculant add to the mix
clears up the use in veg question
have you gotten good results ?- used only in flower no veg use

For years have also used happy frog ocean forest blend..I always use mycos and molasses and/or foop one time in veg after they have a good established root base....I give em a lil dose about three or four times during flower

It is definitely good stuff..My opinion tho I'm not sure the extra price is justified over hi brix molasses as it's 1/4 the price and works just as well

I use technaflora nutes. After technaflora "sugar daddy" was finished, I looked for a cheaper alternative. Sweet raw from botanicare. It's nearly 1/2 the price, and double potency. Its used during every feeding in veg and flower.
maybe I should start using now while in veg and continue once in flower -- at 1-2x's per week ? how do you use - is it a "stand alone" product ?

to answer that, it’s def not a singular use product aka all-in-one fert. I question its cost and what in it…
No offense ( could be wrong, maybe they kept sugars off label?) but why does that product demon suggested feed chart only show it in preflower/flip-flower stage, don’t see veg stage any application . That sounds very wasteful but also I question why do this? I woild apply sugars for Brix levels but also to feed microbes. If not alive/organics no reason besides Brix increase
2nd ? is why don’t I see in any ingredient in it saying any sugars in it ? I see on back of label it says it’s ingredients is mag sulphate ? Shoot if that’s all in it get Epsom salt and some dry molasses and ur set cause no way I would buy watered down Epsom salt and some sugars that they weren’t even listing?

Not arguing in anyways but Tbh how hard is to supply sugar and Epsom salt and their prices and application rates to price def steers me from seeing this better than molasses or similar.
if they can’t put it on the label and it does special things Epsom and sugars can’t ?, I’m a lil weary of wanting to use it If it was me..Not saying that product has anything bad in it I just think it’s odd if ur focus of product is sweetener to not have anything but mag sulphate listed ? too many times these companies keep it as “secret “ but really it’s a secret to costumer that their product is diluted simple based things that they can easily do and make.
their faq is a lil bs cause why is label for feed on bottle to not even use it in veg…. For being such a big name in hydrostores I’m thinking they would love for anyone to waste money on such and also use it every watering . the name sweetener is also bro sci to make u think more “sweetener” more sweet end result on ur flower taste/smell…it’s like terpinator ?
reminds me of their hydroguard vs same species southern ag biological fungi, yeah I’ll stick to big ag versions and non hydro store if I can
just saying

I don't think of it as a "sweetener" per se. Like adding mt. Dew or faygo to plants doesn't do squat. It was a replacement for technaflora (sugar daddy) at a 50% of $.
I'll give it a whirl after this bottle.

I grow in full organic super soil, so my mix is just hot enough to give a little tip burn. There is no need to add anything but balanced water. I will plop a teaspoon of molasses in a gallon of water every 3 weeks, mainly to keep the microbes happy! I seriously doubt it does much for the plants, besides keeping the medium running steady, but that's a lot!
