is bud candy that sugar supplement from AN?
Sugar supplements arent going to help you in hydro. They might work in soil by feeding the bacteria and microbes, but you don't have soil microbes in hydro.
The only think that it'll do in your reservoir is feed nasty bacteria and clog your sprayers.

save your money.

it doesnt clog air stones from what ive read so it shouldnt clog spayers and if youre using it, then ur in flower. if you are in veg then u dont need it.

thanks clown baby but thats not true. i just started using it in hydro ebb n flow without beneficials and i noticed a big difference in bud size and weight after one watering.as far as sprayers getting clogged thats a different subject and i would like to keep talking about that only. afrogrow thanks for the response and that makes sense but i would still like to hear feedback from more people if possible so i know for sure. i plan on running it in the aeroflow 36 if possible

its said to be a combination of carboload and sweatleaf so it is similar with sugars, molasses etc. i did notice that carboload is thicker though so thats better i think

Bud Candy is designed for all types of hydroponics and shouldn't clog your sprayers if used correctly, when you add nutes or sups to your res, fill your res to 1 gallon less of desired amount of water then pour your bud candy or whatever nute or sup into that gallon and shake and mix it so it completely dissolves before you pour it into your res.

Yeah, I've actually never heard of Bud Candy giving anyone problems in aero. I mean, you have to use it correctly, and you have to use it when you're supposed to. This isn't just a matter of using something and it works magically. You gotta be smart about it.

Dumb growers that grow well are just lucky - not smart.

And if you haven't already checked this out, you should.
