Botanicare Sweet Carbo Raw, 55 Gallon | Mg + S Carbohydrate Bloom Supplement

What Goes Into Botanicare Sweet Carbo Raw

Sweet Carbo Raw, also sold as Sweet Raw, is the unflavored member of the Botanicare Sweet family. It is a mineral supplement that adds carbohydrates, organic acids, vitamins and amino acids to a feeding program. The guaranteed analysis lists 1.50 percent magnesium and 2.0 percent sulfur, with no nitrogen, phosphate or potash. Botanicare formulates it to help plants hold an even metabolism and a sound balance between photosynthesis and respiration. The maker ties it to sturdier stems, thicker leaves, compact internodes and smoother transitions between growth phases. It is also pitched for rooms running CO2 enrichment and high intensity lighting, where plants work hard. The label rate is 8 ml per gallon of solution. It is made to run without clogging drip lines or hydroponic systems. This listing is the 55 gallon drum, part HGC732315. The filled drum measures about 24 by 24 by 34.5 in and weighs roughly 600 lb.

Feeding a Carbohydrate Bloom Supplement at Scale

A carbohydrate bloom supplement is an add-on, not a base, so it goes into the tank after the main nutrients. Feed it with every watering through the whole flowering cycle. Shake or recirculate the drum before drawing, because the solution can settle. Mix the reservoir well, then check and adjust pH as the label directs. Count the magnesium and sulfur it adds when building the rest of the recipe. Recirculating systems need regular cleaning when sugars are in the solution, as biofilm grows faster. Keep the drum sealed, out of direct sun and away from heat between draws. A drum pump or a dosing line keeps measurements accurate at this volume. Plan the floor space and handling, because a full drum is too heavy to move by hand. Read the safety data sheet before setting up a dosing station.
