Botanicare Sweet Raw Adds No Flavour Of Its Own
The guaranteed analysis on this bottle is short. Magnesium 1.50% and sulfur 2.00%, both derived from magnesium sulfate. The carbohydrates, organic acids, vitamins and amino acids it also carries are real but unquantified. That is normal for this category, and worth knowing before you compare bottles on price. What sets Botanicare Sweet Raw apart is what is missing. It holds no bioactive esters. The flavoured bottles in the line push their own profile into a crop, and this one leaves the plant's terpenes to speak for themselves.
Sweet Carbo Raw Feeding Rate And Where It Fits
The rate is 8 mL per gallon with every watering. Botanicare's directions run it through the entire bloom cycle, and the line is marketed across every phase from veg to harvest. Shake the bottle first, mix it well, and read pH after it goes in rather than before. It works in container gardens and recirculating systems alike, and it will not block emitters. One honest note on the rate. Eight millilitres a gallon is a heavy draw next to most additives on this shelf. A quart covers 118 gallons of finished solution, so a room fed weekly moves through it faster than the label size suggests.
Key Features
- Magnesium 1.50% and sulfur 2.00%: The guaranteed portion of the bottle, derived from magnesium sulfate and declared rather than implied.
- No bioactive esters: The flavoured bottles in the Sweet line add an ester profile. This one does not, so terpenes read as the crop's own.
- 8 mL per gallon, every watering: One rate for the whole schedule, with no weekly step-up to track after the flip.
- Carbohydrates, organic acids, vitamins and amino acids: Carried alongside the guaranteed minerals to support respiration when photosynthesis is running hard.
- Container gardens and recirculating systems: It mixes into soil, coco and hydro without settling out or blocking drippers and emitters.
- Four sizes from a quart to five gallons: The same formula scales from one tent to a production floor, with the rate unchanged between sizes.
