Well I've just run the wiz bang citrus. Yes indeed it does effect overall taste and smokeability. My personal opinion is that it left a harsher after taste than my original cocktail so I dropped dosage for just the simple sugars and aminos it brings to the table and not for the taste. Like most of you have said just get the fucker some sugar to pack on some weight. My full citrus run ended up smelling worse and tasting worse than beasters. My reduced citrus run turned out perfect on taste and smokability though. Will venture out enough to say they are more than partially effected as the cocktail is just that much different. Haven't tried the berrie yet to taste said difference but not in a huge hurry to prove anything either.

No no, you missed my point.. Have you tasted the product in the bottle?? I really couldn't care about anecdotals/psychosomatics.. I've stated my case on the actual purpose of carb-loading too many times already..

trying to figure something out.. i hear these products are for carbo loading/ripening... so if i wanted to flush at the end of bloom.. would i be using one of these products as a ripener??

i was planning to flush with florakleen.. do i mix up a solution of florakleen and floranectar (my rip-off product of choice) ??? run that as my flush for a week?

No I didn't miss your point as I said there is a different taste and yes it is citrus in nature; plasibo or not taste is indeed affected. With the 1/3 reduced run taste not as evident as what they have you shoving into plant as recommended from Botanicare. I guess what I'm trying to say is after running the Botanicare line for five years there is indeed a difference and quite honestly could live with out it as production was not significantly impacted.

um putting sugar in your plants gives your plant a constant supply of sugars so if needed the plants can use it, it helps to use carbo load in the beginning because it indeed makes your plants stalks stronger. it also makes your plant a little sweeter. i used it from start to finish and just at the end and even not at all and to tell the truth it really makes a small difference not really all that useful but ive never used that sweet shit because it has orange oils and other oils that actually make your plant taste different. for example if you gorrilla outdoor and you plant in soil next to mint plants your shit will be minty and really shitty, same with an onion.

The only possible mechanism for that I can think of would be aerial depositing, but that makes sense to me, and will actually go a decent distance in shutting me up on the characteristic transitions.. I still maintain my original position on actual carb-loading.. I know cannabis and other plants actually dump a signifigant portion of its carb reserves into the soil in a symbiotic fashion with microbes.. But this volatile oil deposting is an intriguing compromise to these schools of thought IMO..
+rep for switching on this light-bulb in my head..
