Use black strap molasses, less expensive and works perfectly. Molasses and GH Ripen together work brilliantly.

I have been using a mixture of 5ml Molasses and 5ml Bud Candy and damn, some of the strains have blown up like I haven't seen before!
 
carbo load is discontinued when they came out with bud candy. carbo load is probably most of what bud candy is made up of. just missing the molasses. same thing then i would guess, never having used bud candy, as Sugar Daddy by technaflora. magnesium sulfide or close to it.

i am using molasses with carbo load because the store gave me 1/3 off on the carbo load and the Bud Candy was too rich for me.

Bud Candy sucks imo.... makes everything have that same sweet aroma - good genetics should smell awesome on their own.... Carboload is awesome.

I sometimes use Bud Candy in Hydro instead of molasses as the mols mash up my pumps!!
It's good stuff, kinda expensive for what it is though..
As the other fella says Bud Candy is a mixture of Carboload and Sweet Leaf!!
 
okay, just repeating what the guy said when he offered it up at 1/3 off. maybe he meant that the store was discontinuing it. sorry. and yes luv a grow, that is what it is, carbo and sweet. and again i am repeating the sales guy.

Bud candy is like carboload (dextrose & water w SCORPION JUICE. salictic acid... it salictic acid is aspirin. aspirin emulates a viral attack or infestation to stress plants to produce more terpines, essential oils etc.

I own a shop and I am an ex AN tech rep. I carry the whole ridiculous line. I personally wish I could hand Everyone a good 1 part, some kelp, molasses, and lignite based humics, and some MPK..
Call it a day. Maybe some silicate too..

^good Q.

I thought that advanced's aspirin in a bottle was there "Bud Factor X"?

Since they don't like put mot than one product per bottle I wdnt expect to find it in any of there other lines.
Gotta buy 50jugs of bs to get a complete nutrient... That for me has never been an improvement.

Skip the bud candy n mix your own carbs.
I use: mixed to 1ltr water & added @15ml/G
17.5% cane sugar
7.5% light malt
5% molasses

None of that artificial sweetener/flavoring bull shit.

Big ups respect and happy growing.

salictic acid and Salicylic acid are not the same thing

do u mind to tell us exactly what salictic acid is then? from the way tohigh put it he said its scorpine juice and also said salictic is aspirin which is why i think he was trying to type salicylic acid
