Does bat gauno help at all with flavor ?
basically just GH...
What is your media?
Why do you want a "sweetener" ?
I use a Rainforest which is RDWC with an aeroponic mist above the waterline. The plants are in rockwool, surrounded by Hydroton in 6" pots. I only grow them to be 20-24" tall.
Most people seem to at least use mollases, I assumed it's something you want to have. I am still new to growing. My first 3 grows I have been using GH's lineup, but have learned I don't like some parts of it (like their flavored FloraNectar sweetener that gives an artificial taste). I am out of pretty much everything and just started the flush of my current grow tonight.
Since I have to re-buy everything anyway, I am modifying the GH schedule (the only feeding schedule I know) by replacing the products I haven't been happy with so far. It started with discovering that Botanicare CalMag is a lot better than GH CalMag (GH is dirty). Then I decided to try the Hammerhead/MOAB combo everyone raves about, since few have anything good to say about KoolBloom and my buds are a little "fluffy". Then I started comparing all of GH's lineup to other company's products to see if I wanted to try something else.
I realized that the beginning of GH's lineup seems very solid (3-Part, Diamond Nectar, Floralicious, FloraBlend). So I am sticking with that as the foundation since it's what I know and seems solid. I've also dumped GH's "root health" products, which suck, in favor of just DM Zone Gold which works awesome and is a whole lot easier. I'm going to run H&G DripClean and Botanicare Silica Blast this time too, I haven't been using silica and I like the idea of DripClean in the res at all times (sometimes it seems like my plants "get stuck" and salts building up may be the issue).
So I am down to just figuring out what to replace FloraNectar with because I don't like the taste it leaves. You can taste it and I'd rather just taste the weed. So I have kind of settled on Botanicare Sweet Raw, since it seems to be exactly what I am looking for. Do you have a suggestion for a sweetener, or anything else? I'm always looking for advice from people who actually know what they are doing.
I'm not to concerned with the price of nutes, my res only uses 10-12 gallons of water so I don't really go through a lot of nutes. More concerned with just growing good weed:-)
in dwc sweeteners are a mute point plants dont take in sugar they give it to bacteria when you add carbs its to feed microbes not the plant most hydro is all chemical nutes which kill off microbes but anyway carbs arnt for the plants its for the microbes+ fungus in soil or coco etc. hope htis helped (didnt want to burst your bubble........sorry:hi

rookie question here.
I do not even understand why folks use molasses. Does it really make such a difference? and is it done just for "taste?" And could it also mask over other shit product nutrients which would enable a grower to avoid flushing?
