Sugar Daddy Nutrient Is Magnesium, Sulfur And Cane Sugar
There is no NPK on this label. The analysis reads 0-0-0. What it does guarantee is magnesium at 1.6% and combined sulfur at 1.75%, both derived from magnesium sulfate. Beside those sits 2% cane sugar, listed as a non-plant food ingredient and described as microbe food. Technaflora Sugar Daddy is a magnesium and sulfur supplement carrying a small sugar fraction, rather than a bloom booster. Knowing that changes where it belongs in a schedule, because most base feeds already carry magnesium of their own.
Technaflora Sugar Daddy Rates And Where It Fits A Feed
The rate is 2 to 4 teaspoons per gallon, roughly 10 to 20 mL, scaled to how far along the plant is. Lighter early, heavier as demand climbs. It stays in solution, so it does not settle in lines or leave a film behind in a reservoir. It runs in soil, coco, soilless and aeroponic systems, and it moves reservoir EC very little. One honest note worth reading before this goes in the tank. If your base nutrient already supplies magnesium, and most do, add up what you are running before stacking this on top. An excess shows up as calcium lockout, which is harder to unpick than a shortage.
Key Features
- Magnesium 1.6% and combined sulfur 1.75%: The whole guaranteed analysis, derived from magnesium sulfate and declared rather than implied.
- 0-0-0, no NPK contribution: It changes nothing about the nitrogen, phosphate or potash your base feed is delivering.
- 2% cane sugar as microbe food: Declared on the label as a non-plant food ingredient, so the sugar fraction is stated rather than left vague.
- 2 to 4 teaspoons per gallon: One range covering the whole cycle, stepped up as the plant's demand climbs rather than by week number.
- Stays in solution: It does not drop out or film up a reservoir, which matters on drip lines and emitters.
- Soil, coco, soilless and aeroponic: The same rate applies across media, so it drops into an existing schedule without a separate chart.
- Minimal effect on EC: It can be added to a tuned reservoir without forcing a recalculation of the whole feed.
