Do carbo-loads and flavor enhancers work?

[frosty]

I see these products that are supposed to make fruit bigger and more flavorful. Do they work? running an ebb and flow system.

This thread should probably go in "Grow Tech".

That said, you are linking to 2 totally different products. The first is a sugar product, the second is a PK booster.

There is some controversy over whether carboloads work in the finished product. The sugars provide for bacterial blooms if you are using beneficial bacteria. Sweeteners like molasses provide some other trace nutrients and aminos. I tend to stick with straight nutrients. Are you really going to get $50 worth of better peppers out of that bottle?
