FloraNectar Use Has Increased Resin Production 50%

[LolaGal]

I add the Kool bloom at 1/2 Tablespoon per gallon, and the Northern Lights Fat Flower claims it can be added on top without hurting plants.

Mine don't seem to mind at all.

I use it every time I water, but I am in small pots this run in soil.

I was just so shocked at all that resin production, I had to tell ya'll in case you want to try it too.

FloraNectar rocks.

What's in FloraNectar? I use molasses and it does give more resin in combination with a pk booster, I think the carbs are important to the plant if you are pushing it with high Pk levels.

Label sez it has Magnesium and Potassium, 17.5% Cane Sugar, 7.5% Malt Extract, 5% Molasses and I guess water of course.

Here's the blurb from the label. "Growing plants convert sunlight, water ane minerals into sugar. FN is formulated with a combination of minerals, natural sugars and flavor enhancers to encourage sugar flow for better flavor. Simply Sweeter!"

That is all well and good, but the resin is really what is amazing to me. Taste better is a bonus if it happens.

It smells like it has vitamins in it to me. Like a Flinstones chewable or something. There is a rasberry twang to the smell as well. I have Berry Infusion flavor.

Interesting. Sounds like it is mostly sugars. As well as Molasses, I use solidified Raw Sugar Cane I turn into juice by dissolving in hot water, this is for the Thiamin (vitamin B) and a few other goodies.

If it is working good for you then that's great. I haven't seen it for sale in the UK so i wondered what was in it that I might be able to find locally.

holy shit just looked at my ladies and this is my first run with the whole GH line. F!$% what a difference. I am in week 6, usually go 9 or 10 and they look like when i finish already.
This shit is amazing, but cannot rule it down to one of GH's products alone.
Here's my schedule on a 5000w room.

this forum prompted me to take a closer look and shit was i surprised. will have pics shortly of Purple Kush growin

Yes!!! PICS!!!

Its mostly sugars with the vitamins coming from the sugar cane and molasses. They also throw a fancy name on essential oils as poly flavonoids and plant based esters. The malt extract will probably provide some of the amino acids along with the mollasses. Difference between molasses and raw suggar cane juice/syrup hasn't been boiled to make molasses yet.

I'm sorry to add this if its unwanted but i decided to look it up after reading the statement. It would be different than just adding molasses since you also get the malt extract, which add's a sugar called maltose, which you wouldn't ordinarily get from the others. Atleast i'm not aware of it. I'm not saying that maltose is the source, but that different sugars and others elements from the different sources is definelty better than just one stand alone due to variation.

In organics its always better to eed through various sources in lighter amounts instead of one strong in all areas fert due to the variation of different naturally occurring elements.

I am just glad that it works for me. I called GH today, and asked them if they had a free sample line.

Turns out they will let me try anything I want free, all I have to do is pay the shipping.

I think they are sending the Floranectar Pineapple and the FloraNova too.

Good post, thanks.

I have often wondered about using multiple sugar sources. I already use horse feed molasses, great stuff, it enhances flavour, adds a tad of resin and has an NPK of roughly 1-0-5 plus a load of useful trace element. I also use Jaggery Goor which is solidified raw sugar cane juice, it has some of the same properties as molasses but more vitamins. Malt Extract isn't very expensive, I will experiment with adding that alongside the Molasses and Jaggery.

I think there's a very good reason why manufacturers don't tell you clearly what's in the bottle - because you would then realise you could make the same thing from cheap ingredients.

 

[LolaGal]

Good luck with your experiments. I too, have tried the molasses, which helped, and a product called Sugar Daddy that I got a free sample of. Both helped a lot.

I like FloraNectar for the ease of use, and accurate to measure. I know I would be way to lazy to try to mix up more additives than I am already.. lol.

I am hand watering a SOG and it is so nice to find easy ways to boost resin production.

I keep tweaking and tweaking my indoor grow to get the most for the least.

 

[slackx]

Think i'm going to add this into my fox farm regiment, I been researching other enhancers besides plan old molasses. I wanted to try "sweet leaf" or "bud candy" how do these stack up in your opinions? Also is there only one way to find out how floranectar will work with fox farm products? I'd imagine since it's all sugars it shouldn't have a problem right?

Anyone trying this on soil less?

 

[Biatchzxz]

Yeah Lola I agree for sure. If they don't send
I'll be glad to send u a bottle of it. As well as some other nutrients I got
soooooooooooooooooo Many full size bottle
samples from multiple companies. I got humboldt there whole line all the bud boosters as well I got doubles and triples of a lot if u wanted to try some new stuff I'm totally cool with sending u whatever u want for free

edit - Im also using Florablend diamond nectar as well as floralicious plus toward mid-end floweing. I also got some bud blood big bud and carbo load 50 gram packs that are extras I have

 

[LolaGal]

Check out what Flora Nectar, Kool bloom and Fat Flower did to this Power Kush from dinaFem !!!!

You can see all the trichomes, I love this pic.

 

[opt1c]

this calls for a side by side; one with the nectar one without.... who's game?

 

[one Q]

LoLa! I say this with soo much love... but that isnt a lot of trichs. Unless that plant doesn't put out many and then the Nectar put all that on her. Or maybe that pic doesnt do that lady justice. Im just saying that if that's 50% increase in resin, then I dont think the product is that great...

just my pennies.

Peace.

 

[LolaGal]

Can you say Debbie Downer?

I was thinking the Power Kush looked so damn good that it would win the March POTM contest.

damn. bust my bubble why dont ya? boo hoo

p.s. It is only on day #30 of bloom, it still has at least 4-6 weeks left to harvest. Come on! You can hardly see the leaves for the trichs, AND they ain't even filled out yet. I think it is AWESOME.

 

[hippie_lettuce]

I don't get it. There is plenty of time left for the trichs to accumulate. And besides, I see a lot of trich heads forming....not just stalks. Even though a strain may look "frosty" it could just be whole lotta stalks and not enough trich heads..which is what we want.

It's looking really good, Lola imo.

 

[LolaGal]

It is disappointing to me that Guys on this site always act like I should prove this and prove that.

I started this thread because I was excited to see a marked increase in resin production, amount of trichomes, etc., and I wanted everybody who didn't know to have BETTER buds.

Now I just feel like an asshole for trying to help others.

I ain't selling Flora Nectar, nor do I own stock in the company. I ain't got no reason to make stuff up. I have nothing to gain.

I am just trying to pass along some tips that have helped me get a better crop of weed.

Negative posts make me wonder why I bother. My weed will be just as sweet if I never posted again.

 

[hippie_lettuce]

It is kind of like people wanting to save polar bears instead of some rare insect. THe polar bear is cute and cuddly...the insect is not.

So, people are used to the so-called relationship between "lots of trichs" and "much potency," when in reality we should only be looking for trich heads...which is why when you make dry sift it gets you really blasted, because there is little/no leaf matter and mostly trich heads.

And they cannot see that the bud isn't even finished packing on the trichomes yet. That bud looks pretty frosty to me, and most strains will really put on the trichs near the end, when they know they're about to die

Dont let the boy's get ya down sweetie......most only wish they could grow like us .The boy's club is a hard one to get into.Just show them how it's done girl
