if it sweetens the bud when smoking it is not interesting for me.
if it ads to yield - yes.

Molasses will add your yield and deter some pests from your grow 
It feeds the microbes and helps the plant chelate the goodness from your soil/soiless mix... not sure about hydro.
You guys should hang out more in the organic grow forum
PS. I highly recommend the addition of charcoal to your mix also.

i just was at west coast, sure is a small world greyskull. and i in fact did get canna boost. figured it was worth a try, and is cheaper than liquid light. think it would be better to just use it with my water, or spray it?

hey weed wacker I add it to the rez for now and I am very happy.
I WAS TALKING WITH SOMEONE JUST AN HOUR AGO ABOUT BOOST
If you are not using Canna's program (ie A/B, Rhizo, Zym, PK13/14) you may not see the results I see and love so much. It seems its formulated to work optimally within the "range of whatever it is that happens between the mixture of those products".
If you're not running the whole Canna show (or w/minimal additives from outside manufactures ie SWEET & CAL/MAG form botanicare seem to be okay for me) it may not ,make you a happy camper.
That said, using it in conjuction with everything else is fucking awesome. PERIOD. It works.

Ive ran mostly canna over the last few years and when i started I had to justify the cost of boost to my self, I did side by side runs 2x on 3x3 trays and the boost side flowers faster and gets dencer buds, In the end there is very little difference, but it will pay for it self with a little more yeild. Now with a larger grow, i have a hard time paying for it, and im sure you can get the same results with other flowering enhancing products like budcandy, gravity, moab, ect ect and save some $ If your going to do a test to see if its worth it for you, you need to do atleast half a light and not 1 plant vrs 1 plant. and should be all 1 strain, other wise you wont see much difference.

I'm bumping this thread.
I have just started using Canna Boost as a foliar spary. The bottle recommends 20mL - 40mL per 10 liters of nutrient solution, but I'm assuming that is the concentration to use when watering it in with the rest of the nutrients. I am using it at the 40mL/10L concentration right now, but I'm not sure if that's too much or too little for foliar.
I would much rather just mix it in with the rest of my nutrients so the plants get a constant supply, but with how much Boost costs I just can't see myself doing that.
Maybe if I could find a cheaper triacontanol solution I could do that and remove Boost from the picture all together.

So 20mL per 10L is their suggested application rate, but I still don't know what a good application interval would be. I'm doing it like every 3-4 days right now?
hiya,,been using bio-boost for a while now but on my last run used very little and had the some of the best results taste and aroma wise and even maybe upped my yield a tad more then usual,,
i think its about using the right product at the exact time the plants need it and no longer,,at the right time with the correct amount it does work,,but use in small doses imo,,cheers s2

Canna indicates that you can use it as a foliar spray.
Unfortunately they omit any guidance on how often you should foliar spray.
I think there is a consensus amongst many that triacontanol is the main active ingredient in Boost. If that is the case I would rather use a regular agribusiness triacontanol product. Anytime something is marketed towards they "hydro" market they crank up the price. Boost is one of the best examples of that I can think of.

I had a worse crop and am looking to pin down the reason why, so my test run with it was inconclusive. Given the high cost I am not sure I will be trying it again, at least not for a while.

Thanks for the sentiment.
I doubt that the Boost had anything to do with it. I was applying it at the 2mL per Liter rate about every 3-5 days. I pretty much drenched the top canopy with it. I always sprayed during lights on, and usually with more than 6 hours left to go. I used distilled water and never saw any indication that the leaves were burning or any other negative effects of the spraying.
