Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy Carbohydrate & Flowering Supplement – 250ml

£3.99

A premium carbohydrate and magnesium supplement that feeds beneficial root-zone microbes while supporting vigorous growth, flower development and desirable aromas.

Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy supplies a carefully formulated blend of carbohydrates alongside magnesium to support crops through vegetative growth and flowering. It is designed to work alongside the normal base nutrient programme rather than replace it.

The carbohydrate component provides an energy source for beneficial microorganisms living around the roots. Supporting these microbial populations helps create a productive biological environment around the root zone, while magnesium plays an important role in the conditions required for chlorophyll production and efficient photosynthesis.

Although Bud Candy is particularly well known as a flowering supplement, the current Advanced Nutrients programme uses it during both vegetative growth and flowering. The 250ml bottle is ideal for smaller reservoirs and growers wanting a compact size, providing enough concentrate for approximately 125 litres of nutrient solution at the recommended 2ml/L rate.

Why choose Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy?

  • Premium carbohydrate blend – supplies carbohydrates designed to support crop performance and the biological activity around the root zone.
  • Feeds beneficial microbes – provides an energy source for beneficial microorganisms living around plant roots.
  • Contains magnesium – supports the conditions required for chlorophyll production and photosynthetic activity.
  • Supports flower development – designed to complement the crop's nutritional requirements as flowering progresses.
  • Supports desirable aromas – Advanced Nutrients positions Bud Candy as a terpene and flavour-enhancing supplement.
  • Use during grow & bloom – the current feeding programme specifies Bud Candy throughout vegetative growth and flowering.
  • Simple 2ml/L dosage – straightforward measuring for smaller tanks and reservoirs.
  • Hydroponic & coco compatible – suitable for diverse hydroponic media and continuous liquid-feed systems.
  • Convenient 250ml size – provides enough concentrate for approximately 125L of nutrient solution at 2ml/L.

What is Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy suitable for?

Bud Candy is suitable for growers looking to add a carbohydrate-based supplement to an established feeding programme. It is especially relevant where beneficial root-zone microorganisms form part of the growing strategy, as its carbohydrate blend provides an additional food source for microbial populations.

Unlike supplements reserved for one narrow part of flowering, Bud Candy has a broader application window. Advanced Nutrients currently specifies it throughout vegetative development and across the flowering phase, before withdrawing it for the final flush.

Bud Candy is suitable for indoor and outdoor cultivation, regular watering, irrigation systems, hydroponics and coco coir. It can also be incorporated into continuous liquid-feed systems including aeroponics, drip irrigation and emitters, nutrient film technique (NFT), flood and drain and deep water culture (DWC).

How to use Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy

Add Bud Candy at 2ml per litre of nutrient solution throughout vegetative growth and flowering. Continue through active and later flowering, then discontinue Bud Candy when the crop reaches its final flush.

For 10L of nutrient solution, use 20ml. For 25L, use 50ml. For 50L, use 100ml. A full 250ml bottle provides enough concentrate for approximately 125L of nutrient solution.

Bud Candy is a supplement rather than a complete base feed, so use it alongside the crop's normal nutrient programme.

What is the difference between Bud Candy and CarboLoad?

Both are carbohydrate-based Advanced Nutrients supplements, but they are separate formulations.

CarboLoad is a separate carbohydrate supplement with its own formulation and should not be treated as an identical product.
