yeah but i was wondering if it would be okay to mix with the nutrients i have right now? it doesnt say anything about it on the bottle. and i also have some nirvana from advanced nutrients, my plant is only in week 1 of flowering so i cant use the nirvana yet because it says to use during weeks 3-6. bud candy is telling me to use during weeks 1-6 of flowering.. should i use both of them together or would this be a bad idea?

yes it is safe to use bud candy with nirvana as well as other nutrients. AN advertises that thier nutes can also be used safely with other brand names like fox farm, GH, etc.
Bud candy is a additive with sugars and extracts. Not really a food

would you say that bud candy is a highly effective sugar additive? is there a big difference in your harvest if you use it and if you dont

bud candy is a great product you should use it as an additive along with your base and other supplements when you feed in flower. i use it with gh 3 part and have used it with fox farm both with great results.

I didn't notice if you said what other nutrients you're using, so it's hard to say if they're going to go together.

I'm assuming that you're not thinking about using Bud CAndy as a foliar spray because it's not meant to be used that way.

I guess you can mix everything together, dont' see why you would think you couldn't, honestly. Just make sure you're checking your ppm and pH during the grow process.

Bud Candy rocks. Not necessary all the time, IMHO, but good stuff....

most people just use molasses, since that is the main active ingredient in bud candy anyway. Plus its a lot cheaper. Grandma's molasses is sold at most grocery stores for a few bucks, but most experts and columns I've read on molasses say that blackstrap molasses works the best. I think the type of molasses used in bud candy is from brown sugar.

yeah i have heard this before too but since i got the bud candy from a friend for free i think it would be better for me to use this then experiment with molasses and plus i have read on the bottle and it contains alot of other things other than molasses.
