Bud candy is nothing more than a magnesium supplement: http://www.advancednutrients.com/hydroponics/products/bud_candy/bud_candy_faq_nutrient_facts.php
There may or may not be sugars in that as well in which case molasses is a much more economical option.

Your plant already produces it's own sugars and has a limited ability to take up carbs. If you have money to waste, send it to me, I'll put it to better use

molasses can add to taste in my experience. and has many beneficial macro-nutrients

BUd candy has over 30 listed ingredients on the back of the bottle. I dont think molasses has a full shot of amino acids, vitamin B's, etc etc.
The weblink homebrewer posted is wrong. Bud Candy has no magnesium in it. NONE. If you look at the tiny .gif file to the right you can see it lists about 30 different things, but when you click on it to enlarge the picture it just goes to that small magnesium picture.

nice thx for input have u thought of using budcandy?
I really dont know what to tell you. I'm fairly sure human beings work at Advanced Nutrients. Human beings are inherently prone to making mistakes. Now I may be going out on a limb here but bare with me. I'm pretty sure that AN hired a human being to build their website and I'm willing to bet that human being made a mistake. Maybe I'm crazy. Now it's a possibility that they hired a Romulan, which ofcourse are incapable of making mistakes (ie Spock). If this is the case then I am just a liar. Or maybe they hired a fresh water trout, which odviously has no hands or fingers or critical thinking ability. As a result I highly doubt they would make the fresh water trout head of web develpoment, I would think a trout would do better in sales or maybe CEO.
Look just go to a store and look at a bottle yourself. I mean its pretty odvious thats its a mistake. If you look at the tiny gif picture it has a long list of ingredients, then when you click on it to enlarge it magically erases all those ingredients and goes to a gif that just lists magnesium. Bud Candy has no magnesium in it!!!!
And hell no it doesnt make all your buds taste the same.

Regardless of the incorrect info by AN on their own site, the product claims to give your plants much needed carbs which in-turn, according to AN, increases aroma, yields, potency or whatever. Plants have a LIMITED ability to pull up carbs from the growing medium, probably because carbs/sugars are already produced via photosynthesis. Send this pdf file (http://www.advancednutrients.com/hydroponics/docs/BudCandy.pdf) to any botanist or horticulturalist and they'll laugh at the claims made by this product.

I agree. Plants can't take in nutrients any faster just because you spend more money on them. Most of the products directed towards MJ are rip offs and you'd be dumb to waste your money on them.
