Whats about to giving the soil more sugars ? I thought on advanced nutrients - carboload. Some people say it works better and quicker than molasses itself
In theory yes the sugars in Carboload are just simple carbs and they are available to plant more or less straight from off unlike molasses or summink like honey which are more complex carbs and need breaking down a bit in your medium firstly.
Carboload is just a mix of simple sugars, if you wanting a simple carb booster I'd maybe be looking at dextrose that bodybuilders use its simplest of all carbs and again in theory plant should be able to uptake that easiest. It`s summink I've used a lot of in times gone by later in bloom. Tis said fructose for taste which is another simple carb. Summink I've used lots in past as a carb booster is another nearly simple carb called "tate & lyle white table sugar" which is dextrose and fructose combined to create sucrose as is any white table sugar. You can separate both those elements cooking or simmering them off in lemon juice but i never did, i just dissolved a level teaspoon per liter in warm water and slung it in my tank. I might do the carb thing again later in bloom myself now i seen this cus i have a full sack of dextrose/glucose (both same thing and cheap as owt ) on side in kitchen doing feck all these days.
One thing you will notice if you have a tank full of organic ferts bubbling away, man it will sure get a frothy look on top after a day or two as the sugars feed the microbes and proper come to life. Sometimes feeding simple or complex carbs into a pot full of organic soil which is full of microbes can send them into a feed frenzy or so i was told, basically it helps activate/feed microbes .
