There are a variety of different nutrient and manure corporations selling a selection of additions promoted as carbohydrate booster products for plants. Often retailing for tens of dollars per gallon if not tens of greenbacks per litre, these products usually claim to work as a carbohydrate source for plants. A range of benefits are meant to be unlocked by the usage of these products, including the relief of plant pressures and increases in the rate of nutrient uptake. On the surface it sounds very good, and while these sorts of products always base their claims in enough science to sound great, fact does not always measure up to the big talk. The 3LB are pretty celebrated for our distrust of nutrient corporations like complicated Nutrient elements who produce huge lines of products ( generally with giant accompanying price-tags ) making a claim to be a sequence of magical bullets – unlocking the keys to growing success for new and experienced growers alike.

One member of the three_little_birds grower’s and breeder’s collective made a decision to sample one of those products some time back, proposing to give the product a fair trial and then report on the results to the community at cannabis World. Imagine, if you will Tweetie bird flying off to the local hydroponics store, getting a bottle of the wonder product – Super Plant Carb! ( not it’s true name ) – and then pulling it back to the bird’s nest. With a feeling of expectancy our lil’ bird opens the lid, expecting to take a look and a hint of this new ( and pricey ) goodie for our superb plants. She’s met with a well-recognized sweet smell that it can take a second to put. Then the awareness hits her. Molasses! The Super Plant Carb! smells just like Blackstrap Molasses. At the idea that she is just paid something similar to $15 for a litre of molasses, our Tweetie bird scowls. Certainly she tells herself there has to be more to this product than merely molasses. So she dips a wing into the sweet juice slightly, and brings it to have a taste.

Much the same way a sly Sylvester moggy is exposed by a little yellow bird pronouncing – I presumed I saw a puddy tat. I did I did see a puddy tat… And he is standing right there! – our Tweetie bird had uncovered the basis of this product. It was indeed nothing less than Blackstrap Molasses, a fast taste had conformed for our Tweetie bird she had wasted her effort and time dragging home an especially pricey bottle of plant food addition. Molasses is a thing we already use for gardening at the Bird’s Nest. In reality sweeteners like molasses have for ages been a part of the armory of common products utilised by organic gardeners to bring bigger health to their soils and plants. So please hear the tiny yellow bird when she chirps, because our Tweetie bird knows her things. The manure corporations are the same as the bumbling Sylvester in some ways, but, rather than picturing themselves crammed with a little bird, they see themselves growing fat with massive profits from the wallets of credulous buyers. Let us assure you it is not the dream of yellow feathers floating in front of their stuffed mouths that led these executives in their effort to pounce on the plant growing public. And the repackaging of molasses as plant food or plant addition isn’t just restricted to the corporations selling their products in hydroponic stores. People shopping at places such as Wal-Mart are as sure to be taken in by this strategy.

In this case the offending party is Schultz Garden Safe utility Liquid Plant Food 3-1-5. This is a comparatively cheap product that appears appealing to a selection of organic gardeners. Here’s Shultz own outline of their product. Garden Safe Liquid Plant Foods are made of plants in a patent protected technology that provides plants with necessary nutriments for attractive flowers and foliage and no offensive smell. And they improve soils by augmenting natural microbial activity. Great for all veg, herbs, flowers, trees, shrubs and houseplants including roses, tomatoes, fruits, and grasslands. Gleaned from one hundred percent natural ingredients, Garden Safe utility Liquid Plant Food feeds plants and invigorates soil microbial activity. Made of sugar beet roots! No offensive manure or fish odors. That sure sounds good, and the three_little_birds will even go as far as to point out we agree one hundred pc with all of the claims made in that little blurb of ad copy.

But here’s the difficulty, Shultz isn’t precisely telling the general public the bottle of manure they are purchasing is nothing less than a waste product obtained from the production of sugar. In reality Schultz Garden Safe 3-1-5 Liquid Plant Food is truly and really nothing less than a form molasses extracted from sugar beet processing that’s generally utilized as an animal feed sweetener. If you do not believe a band of birds, go forward and look for yourself at the small print on a Garden Safe bottle where it is saying – Contains 3.0% water-soluble Nitrogen, 1.0% Available Phosphate, 5.0% Soluble Potash – extracted from molasses. the sole problem we see, is that animal feed additions should not be retailing for $7.95 a quart, and that is the price Shultz is charging for it’s Garden Safe product. While we do not find that quite as offensive as complicated Nutrient elements selling their CarboLoad product for $14.00 a litre, we know that it’s deeply expensive for sugar processing wastes. Therefore just as our band of birds gave the inside track on poop in our Guano Guide, we are now about to give people the sweet truth about molasses. Molasses is a syrupy, thick juice made by the processing of either sugar beets or the sugar cane plant.
