You can do it whenever
What it does is make more sugars available for the plant to absorb in the soil

I have an Aur. Indica and an NL at 4 wks into 12/12, after 4 wks. from seed. I found a sports drink called Tiger that is loaded with carbs and high fructose corn sugar. I'm adding it at about 4 oz per gal of H20. I've never used this type of thing so I don't know if it makes a diff., and I've only fed twice (I use it every other watering ). Careful! It'll drop the pH like a bad habit.
Also, I can't really do a side-by-side because I grow from seed- too much variation for an objective comparison. But for a pH down with benefits Tiger can't be beat! ( I got the light green flavor)

OH man I never thought of using benign human products (Besides vinegar) to treat your PH
BTW a short note: Those espensive carbo load products they sell in hydro stores; molasses will do the same thing.

Just eyeball it around 1-2 tablespoons per gallon. It doesnt matter to be too exact with it really

vs using nothing. in theory molasses is brown sugar so i had some and started using it this time around on flowering plants and the buds are swelling at an incredable rate compared to other grows i've had.
same clones that i've been using for some timenow just a lot plumper more solid buds i'm thinking its the brown sugar i havent changed anything else

how much brown sugar per gallon?
Brawndo, its got what plants crave!
"Gatorade Tiger contains 25% more electrolytes than Gatorade Thirst Quencher."
and what are electrolytes, class?
salts.
why are we concerned about pH levels? cause incorrect ones can lead to salt buildup.
when you are doing bong hits and come up with really good ideas, be sure to look at the idea completely and do a sanity check

about 2-3 tbs/ gallon maybe more i dont measure i usually grab a small handful and put it in a 2 gallon watering pot ,mix and water every other watering
