What do you use for sugars?

are they worth it? Yellow seems to be 1st time with robust. Anyone use agrave or blackstrap ?

I have used Grandma’s Molasses (maybe it was just me, I could not tell much difference). I am not sure it I used it correctly or not, though? I used it one (1) tablespoon per gallon during the first week of flush, I am still not sure if I did it properly? It is still a learning game for me.

Honey is best imo. It also has beneficial growth hormones.

It looks like I’m doing it completely opposite, from what you are doing. Maybe, that is why I’m not seeing much of a difference.

What type of honey? Store bought, unprocessed, which type if you would let me know and give some directions, honey is a whole lot easier to find and is a little cheaper as well.

For organics, the potassium in molasses can be very beneficial, probably even more than the carbs. Last I checked, some versions of the plantation brand had more than others, and substantially more than most other brands.

Honey has antiseptics/ antibacterial properties to it that’s why in the Olden days it was used to treat wounds probably my guess it would get rid of microbes as well depending what media your in.

Sprouted barley let to shoot out a bit longer than usual has a ridiculous sugar content

I’ll be checking into blackstrap been hearing a lot about how I should have it in my arsenal

Could there be a down fall to using honey an molasses together ? I’ve heard blackstrap is good to use with either honey or molasses.

I was going to through out malted barley as a sugar and enzyme source. :+1::seedling:
