Never heard of using maple sugar for plants...marketing gimmick or real deal?
 
Cannot find any useful information about maple syrup nutes... any advantage on pepper let alone anything else beside cannabis?
 
Thanks!

cant get around the fact that some peoples entire life is given a value by how much they spend on stuff and the more it costs the better it is... there is no other excuse for shit like kanye west and kim kardasian..nothing about them or their products is any better than anything you can buy at target for 9.99 yet the charge a fortune (100+ for a what basically boils down to a ripped hanes tshirt) so people with no self value pay it to say they paid it... people like that do the same in every aspect of their lives... im all about the best but i put the value in the functionality or quality of the product... sadly 90+% of people put the value in the cost...

     Maybe not 90% in reality. They just sound like they make up 90% because they market themselves so aggressively.
     "Damn, dude. Shut up about how much your shit costs. No one (that matters) cares!"

yup... have a brother like that... first description of what he has is always the price and everytime you hear it the price goes up a little... I was never that way... I wore 20 dollar bin sneakers and sweatpants while he walked around in 4-500 worth of outfit and shoes... people thought i was neglected or abused... no, i just know who the fuck i am and i am not micheal jordan so why the fuck would i wear his name tag?
 
 
Just to add ...

promotes strong plant structures and root development, and works to enhance the overall size, quality and flavour of final harvests.

Almost all nutes bottle say the same things...promote root growth...strong plants blablabla
 
Of course I will never buy that kind of product but I've seen on the shelves many in stock...must be very popular around here.
 
When you are beginner you follow the marketing pitches on a product ... I always check reviews / recommendation on garden forum before buying any specific nutes.
 
As JRZ said using a lil molasses to boost carbs is a oldschool canna growing technique, and much cheaper than that crap. Personally I found bud grown with molasses to be more harsh IMO, to each his own. As far as peppers? No Idea, but if you are curious just use molasses. You can find dilution rates on the canna sites.

     Some people start a hobby and read books or ask a community what works. Other people start a hobby and read labels or ask a salesman. This product smacks of being targeted at the latter.

thats very true on the bud... dont think that will be a problem with peppers though unless he consumes them all wrong... lol... as for the buds, i started vaping years ago so nothing is harsh anymore...
 
I've been using molasses to add trace nutes to seedlings for years with good effect. The carbs are also good for encouraging the soil biology as long as it isn't used to excess... Molasses in higher concentrations is also used as organic weed killer.
 
 
You can use any simple sugar as a carbohydrate source to feed microbes...  Molasses is OK, as it adds trace elements and calcium - but it also has some unwanted macros.
.
Yes, the product is marketing BS, but it will work.  Just at a premium price.  Buy granulated sugar, make a syrup, and do the same thing.
 
So the carbohydrate only benefit in soil medium (help microorganisms)

No use in hydro setup?

Just curious... why sell it in hydro shop?

Because drain-to-waste (DTW) is considered passive hydro, amongst other reasons.
.
You can buy Pro-Mix at my local hydro shop.  It's got a broad customer base.
