Unless you're using some beneficial microbes, then carb products are a waste of money (though some do have some benefit because they contain more than just sugars). This product is especially a waste if you're not feeding microbes. Focus on proper plant nutrition instead of these cutesy kiddie additives.

i agree. if your not growin organic and feeding microbes i would say if nothing else it will give your buds a sweeter taste. otherwise i say its a great thing. molasses does contain things like calcium, magnesium, iron and blackstrap does contain higher levels of these elements. STAY AWAY FROM $20 BOTTLES OF BLACKSTRAP AT THE GROW STORE. its a gimick. you can find the same thing at a health food or some regular food stores ( my giant store has blackstrap for $3 and change.) i know subcool uses sucanat ( pure cane sugar product ) with a carbload and swears by the results. dont know if you have seen any of his pictures but they speak for themself. check these threads out.

Plants will take up some carbs. Mostly like you do. Advanced carb is good, mostly for veg. There are other things in the bottle from advanced. Trace minerals,etc. I use the advanced at half strength. Everyother water in veg. Bud candy ,everyother water with 3/4 strentgth. Please run microbes. If your plant ever runs short on water, youll remember y u did.

I've read in the article that the plant can absorb simple carbohydrates and i wonder if the sugar is simple enough ...

what would hapend if i add one gram of suggar per liter of watter ? it will be absorbed by the plant or it will harm the plant ? :|
