Hey is this product something I can use with fox farms trio? Is it something to use regularly or is a solution to a problem?

It is part of a system from Botanicare. You can add it at recommended levels to any grow that needs extra sulfur and magnesium. Try adding a little bit and see how they like it.

Nice mix! I make something similar.
2 tsp agave nectar
1 tbs mollasses
6 tbs epsom salt
Mix together in a gallon jug then I fill the gallon jug with hot tapwater, cap it and shake. Ready to go carbload + cal/mag. Don't know how much it helps my plants but it makes me feel like it does
. Hasn't caused me any problems in my FFOF, Happy Frog, or my straight coco and I use it at 1tsp per gallon every watering, have done up to 2 tsp. I did stop using cal/mag+ since this has everything I need cheap.

Outstanding! Checked your grow journal and may steal your idea of growing CSSH. I have had great results from the SS. The smell of that one is quite unique, not especially a good smell, but the effect is special. Seems you have a good grasp of what your plants need, appreciate your formula for soil grow, further reinforces what good Epsom Salt can work on these plants.Nice mix! I make something similar.

Still using this Sweet formula with excellent results. These plants are 4 weeks and 3 days into flowering.

I really suggest using it. I use gh floranectar. I like the smell of buds and they stick to the trellis and me. I will try this trick when out of nectar and samples...

I am using this homemade Sweet on all plants. It is a sensible additive to the standard nute mix and my plants are very healthy and productive. I also add Cal-Mag and will be working to find a way to produce that at home. There was a sale recently, where I picked up some fulvic acid, because it was 70% off, and I have some humic acid left from a bulk purchase, so I am trying a grow with those as well. My understanding is that fulvic and humic can increase the growth rate, so you may use more nutes than usual. The grow books say plants require light, nutrients, CO2 and water, but any one can limit the growth. I am hoping to speed up the growth and have enough nutes available to support the 'hotter' growth without burning. I have tried adding nutes in the same ratio until seeing the tips of the leaves burn, so I have a good idea where the levels need to be. I find that watching the lower leaves for signs is the best way to set the ppm. Funny that I was checking pH twice a day during the first few grows, but I haven't checked in so long that the batteries are probably bad in the pens. The Jack's is working great for base nutes, with no pH adjustments needed, so I can play around with additives and keep an eye on the leaves for problems.

I have been using "sugar in the raw"(is what the box of sugar is called for years. a cup to 1/2 cups per 55 gallons. first i dissolve in a half gallon of warm water before adding it to the reservoir.

If I understand the effect of sugar correctly, it helps with changing the internal pressure of the cells so they take up nutrients better. Sound good to me. Getting it delivered correctly and in the right amount seems to be the challenge. Sounds like your method is working.
GH FloraNectar:
17.5% Cane Sugar
7.5% Malt Extract
5% Molasses
Waste of 15-18 bucks for a QT, and 50 bucks for a gallon of mostly water???? LOL No thanks.

I guess this would make happy plants, seems like running this through a still would make moonshine.?

I ended up going w/ potassium sulfate and dark brown sugar to make Terpinator but I have Epsom Salt coming for Jacks 321 so I will give it a try.

Made a batch of the one with molasses minus the aguve. Actively start using tomorrow, already watered today. Will post results. Run out of the sampler of bud candy yesterday. Don't like that deal with it having salicylic acid in it anyhoohow. Im pretty sure Im gonna see some good results, although the bud candy did do what it said.

It works. I don't want to say great yet, but no agave, lil nervous bout spoilin, got a gallon of it been using 2 tsp per gallon daily handwater flowering. I am every second or third time just using ph'd water, but it works. Im a believer. Thanks to batcave, Kama, and Dr No or Who? someone chewed my ass bout using it instead of sweet. Thankee
