Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy Carbohydrate Supplement
Supply flowering plants and beneficial root-zone microorganisms with carbohydrate-based nutrition using Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy. This liquid biostimulant combines five sources of simple and complex carbohydrates with magnesium to support microbial activity, chlorophyll production and plant energy reserves.
The carbohydrate blend nourishes beneficial microorganisms within the rhizosphere, helping create favorable conditions for root expansion and nutrient absorption. Magnesium supports chlorophyll production and photosynthetic activity, while the overall formula is designed to encourage floral development and amplify desirable aromas and terpene profiles.
Bud Candy can be used throughout vegetative growth and flowering in soil, coco coir and hydroponic systems. It is compatible with Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect base fertilizers, conventional base nutrients and other properly balanced fertilizer programs.

Mixing instructions:
Add and fully dilute the base nutrients in water first. Add Bud Candy afterward and mix thoroughly before introducing additional supplements.
Never combine undiluted nutrient concentrates directly. Once the solution is completely mixed, check the final EC or ppm and adjust the pH if required by your fertilizer program.
Growing-system compatibility:
Bud Candy is suitable for regular watering and continuous liquid-feed systems, including:
- Soil and soilless container gardens
- Coco coir
- Aeroponics
- Drip irrigation and emitters
- Nutrient film technique
- Flood-and-drain systems
- Deep water culture
- Other hydroponic growing media
Using Bud Candy with other Advanced Nutrients products:
Bud Candy is a carbohydrate and magnesium supplement rather than a complete base fertilizer. Use it alongside an appropriate nutrient program.
- pH Perfect Grow, Micro and Bloom: Supplies complete base nutrition while Bud Candy contributes carbohydrates and magnesium.
- pH Perfect Sensi Grow and Bloom: Compatible throughout the scheduled vegetative and flowering weeks when used at the recommended rate.
- pH Perfect Connoisseur Grow and Bloom: May be incorporated into this premium base program according to the Advanced Nutrients feeding chart.
- B-52: B-52 supplies B vitamins, kelp and humic acid, while Bud Candy supplies carbohydrates and magnesium. Their schedules overlap during vegetative and flowering growth.
- Advanced Nutrients BB: These formulas complement one another during flowering. BB supplies additional phosphorus and potassium during weeks 2–5, while Bud Candy continues providing carbohydrate and magnesium support.
- Overdrive: Introduce during the late-flowering phase while continuing Bud Candy through week 7 according to the feeding schedule.
- Voodoo Juice, Piranha and Tarantula: These products introduce or support beneficial root-zone organisms, while the carbohydrates in Bud Candy help nourish microbial activity.
- Sensizym: Supports the breakdown of organic material around the root zone and can be incorporated according to the feeding chart.
- CarboLoad: Bud Candy already contains the carbohydrate components supplied by CarboLoad, so Advanced Nutrients states that using both is unnecessary.
- Bud Factor X: Advanced Nutrients recommends avoiding Bud Candy on the same day that Bud Factor X is added to the reservoir.
- Flawless Finish: Discontinue Bud Candy and other regular fertilizers before beginning the final flushing program.
Shake well before use and monitor plant response when combining several additives.
