$65.00 dollars a gallon for Sweet ???? From basic chemistry and math I came up with this home made "Sweet Raw".....Costs less then a buck a gallon!!! I adjusted the formulation and feel this works BETTER!
Thanks for the recipe

8 TBL Epsom salts
1 1/2 tsp DARK BROWN sugar
1 gallon RO water
1 opaque gallon jug

Bring 4 cups of the water to a rolling boil
Add the Epsom and the DBSugar
Boil for ,, oh 3-5 min stirring constantly

Pour the hot liquid into the opaque gallon jug with the other 12 cups os water already in it and shake well to mix....

Bingo! $1.00 a gallon *new and improved* Sweet Raw.....

As for the AN,,,,,,what ever..........I've tried so many nutrients - Either on my own or as a tester....
The 2 best in my book
HESI
CANNA

Other then Dyna Gro. These are the easiest ones to use and give the best results out there.....Cyco is nice but like AN, overpriced and too many things you "have to" have....

I haven't played with synthetics in a while but I still get products from makers to try.....Hell man I just got a quart bottle of something from Humboldt to try.....MICRO I think it is......Yup went and got it.....Your supposed to use this with the grow and bloom like the G&H 3 part......Now why did they not send the other 2 ?? Sometimes you just have to scratch your head and say WTF ?
5-0-1 npk To bad it's not organic. I would have a use for it then........One of my employees uses Humboldt.....I'll give it to him and have him write a report on it......That's what Humboldt wants....
 
Thak you Doc I will pay attention to that.

lolol then advanced owes me some money!

i dunno what advanced did to you.. but u sure have it out for them, I've always used them for base nutes, voodoo and bud candy, a few others, always had great results. you don't like the way they market? it's too expensive?

I'm open to trying/experimenting with anything-- product, technique or otherwise that sounds like it has merit..I've found that advanced works well. I also use growth plus marine algae and bat guano... now the algae and guano companies owe me money...

anyways dude, melt some wax, chill out. not everyone that likes different products is a lobbist.

I never said it didn't work.....Many folks around here simply don't care for inflated promises and prices!
You can do the same and more for less...

cool, ill keep on with what works. im not worried about saving a few $$ here and there.

thanks for your input though.
Up to you.....I just gave you an alternative and BTW, I hope that shows you how big corporations take advantage of you as growers of MM.....I substituted my "sugar" source to what I use for the added benefits it has over their choice !
A few folks around here use it and agree it's better for cheaper....

Hmm, flashy adds with realistic claims and shown results.....I could charge half what Botanicare does, nah what hell charge 59.95 and be greedy like every other nutrient maker!

Get the idea now. I do it on a smaller scale with better ingr for less.... it's freedom from big profit corporations digging in your wallet..

But,,,up to you

HEY DT, one more thing! I would be VERY interested to see that side by side your going to do! Finally, a good reason to run AN.....

Smile'in
Doc :peace: (: :peace:

Theres alot more going on in sweetener products than you might think. Ever noticed that antiseptic medicine cabinet smell thats in most of the Botanicare bottles? Kind of like menthol and Listerine. Look into whats in there (its proprietary but really not) and then you will know. That being said ...almost all the bottled stuff is completely overpriced and a rip. But its not junk or snake oil. Do your research!!!

I use raw honey ( heated below 47c or 42) and English version of black strap molasses only one at a time. 1 table spoon per 14ltr bucket it's better than sugar for trichomes... But you still need you pk and bud buddy's and other shit as I found out lol.

I used unsulphured molasses for a run, got premium bubblicious with a stellar high!
Then used bud candy for a run of chronic, it frosted things up allot, but imparted a synthetic flavor I just couldnt put my finger on?! So I threw that out. Now I use botanicaire sweet raw, seems to work well, no aftertaste, and flowers get plump and icky.
