    cal+mag from go works great. along with a ml per gallon of organic black strap molasses. always gives a nice boost of flavor ive noticed. never really done more than that always worried about OVER dueing it. but would love to know if i could add more benefitially

    that was in conjunction with the GO line up minus the biomarine. and only in flowering considering that the biothrive bloom and calmag both had molasses already.

    The maple syrup I have access to is the highest you can get they actually suck it out of the trees and is reduced with ro water.my nephew works for this company.there are different grades too they test it with a microscope thing just like antifreeze.would this be superior to humboldt honey?

    I’m not understanding something….. Cal-mag….isn’t that calcium, magnesium supplement? Just looked at my bottle from GH, there’s no molasses in that. I didn’t think there was before I looked, but didn’t know what Cal-mag your talking about. (Lux)

    Can you clarify for me. I’m just new to growing.

    CaMg is a Calcium-Magnesium micro-nutrient supplement. Molasses helps supply carbohydrates to the plant and the beneficial microbes in the soil. It also supplies additional minerals…:-)

    Kyle ~ Are you still using and recommending Humbolt Honey for Carbs and sweetener ?

    Prior to OG tea, I was running hi brix in my brews and though out the cycle…honey ES is great, but seems like a over hyped molasses; I’ve been having the best results with Sugaree lately!! Resin and terpene profiles have been intense since the addition….no looking back now!! Anyone else give to a try yet? Stay lifted gardeners!!

    All of these products will get the job done for Carbs. But remember if you want a more natural and clean taste, stick to the natural carbs like Succanat, Mollases and so forth. The products like Sugaree/Sweet/BudCandy and so forth are mostly magnesium sulfate and some are labeled OMRI, but they will leave a unnatural taste to your medicine that sticks and will not flush. Unless that’s the desired taste you like your medicine to be. Like Kyle is saying be careful using Humboldt honey es and any other molasses that has other nutrients in it such as seaweed, you have to be careful your not doubling up on products and accidentally burn your meds. Just check the label on the bottles and make sure to read the ingredients, don’t just look at the pretty girls on the front of the bottle LOL ~~~;-D. One Love Team Kushman

    Sugaree is actually potassium sulfate….I have never seen anything but amazing results with this product! Terpene and flavanoid profiles have never been affected ime, but your miles will very. I stop using it by week 7 and go to a light enzyme and molasses before rinse; I true to capture the best of all worlds so to speak !!

    Glad it’s working for you GB, I used Sugaree through two cycles and dropped it fast, my patients and I did not like the tainted smell and taste, Tastes and smells like RedBull !!!! I believe in capturing the true taste and smells of your medicine that are natural from it’s heritage. If you have to add something to your plant to be more smelly or tastier, it might be time to look for a new strain. If your already using OG Tea there is plenty of dried molasses to get the job done as far as carbs go, and then just use your molasses at the end as normal with enzymes ~~~;-D.

    Yup I have been sticking to humboldt honey I only add it at 30 and 45 dayz during flowering,right before I harvest I flush for two wks with pure wat then right before harvest …12 hours I have been adding pure water and hygrozyme then cutting them down.I think I’m making a mistake somewher cuz I have good flavor my herb is clean but it isn’t a real sweet yumminess likesome herbs I smoke I know there using products like sweet or bud candy.hmmm should I drop the hygrozyme before harvest? Should I add humboldt honey closer than 45 days to harvest?
