Cutting Edge Sugaree SP™ 0-0-24 Bloom Supplement — 20lb

Cutting Edge Sugaree SP™ 0-0-24 — 20lb

Cutting Edge Sugaree SP™ 0-0-24 is a proprietary soluble powder formulated to maximize floral development and guide flowering crops toward sweeter, berry-forward aromatic profiles. Combining 24% soluble potash (K₂O) with 8.5% sulfur and a finely micronized carbohydrate source (24% sucrose from evaporated cane juice and molasses), it delivers targeted potassium loading during the bloom phase while simultaneously fueling the soil microbiome that supports root zone health and nutrient cycling.

Potassium and sulfur work synergistically in flowering crops — K drives carbohydrate translocation from source leaves to developing flowers while S participates in the biosynthesis of aromatic compounds, amino acids, and essential oils that contribute to the final terpene and flavor profile of the harvest. The micronized carbohydrate component provides a rapidly available food source for beneficial bacteria and fungi in the root zone, reinforcing the microbial ecosystem that improves soil structure and enhances plant nutrient availability over the production cycle. Sugaree SP™ integrates cleanly with all Cutting Edge Solutions® products and other hydroponic and soil fertilizer programs.

Key Features & Benefits

• 24% Soluble Potash (K₂O) — Potassium-loaded formula meets the elevated K demand of high-production flowering crops and supports carbohydrate translocation to developing flowers.
• 8.5% Sulfur — Sulfur supports amino acid synthesis, essential oil production, and enzyme cofactor availability — contributing to complex aromatic development in flowering crops.
• Micronized Carbohydrate Source (24%) — Finely micronized sucrose from evaporated cane juice and molasses provides rapid-release energy for beneficial root zone microorganisms, improving soil biology and long-term root zone health.
• Amplifies Berry-Like Flavor Profiles — Targeted K-S nutrition during flowering guides the development of sweeter, berry-forward aromatic expressions in fragrant flowering crops.
• Improves Root Zone Biology — The carbohydrate microbe-food component feeds beneficial bacteria and fungi, building a more diverse and active rhizosphere ecosystem over successive production cycles.

Who Should Use This

Boutique and commercial growers targeting sweet, fruity, and berry-forward flavor and aroma profiles in their flowering crops use Sugaree SP™ as a bloom-phase potassium supplement that does double duty: delivering the K-S nutrition the crop needs while actively feeding the root zone microbial community. It is particularly effective in living soil, amended coco, and recirculating systems where microbial health and potassium availability directly impact final product quality.

Compatibility

Dissolve in water before adding to reservoir or soil drench. Compatible with all Cutting Edge Solutions® products and other commercial nutrient programs. Derived from potassium sulfate and sucrose. Available in 20lb.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Sugaree SP and Sour-Dee SP?

Both are 0-0-24 potassium-sulfur powders with micronized carbohydrates, but they are designed to guide different flavor and aroma expressions: Sugaree SP™ targets sweet, berry-like profiles, while Sour-Dee SP™ targets citrus, tropical, and fuel-forward profiles. Select based on the target aromatic expression of your cultivar.

Can I use Sugaree SP in hydroponic systems without soil microbes?

Yes — the potassium and sulfur nutritional benefits apply in hydroponic systems regardless of microbial activity. The carbohydrate component will not cause issues at recommended rates in recirculating systems, though its microbe-feeding benefit is most expressed in living soil and amended media.

When should I start using Sugaree SP?

Begin incorporating Sugaree SP™ at the onset of the flowering phase, when potassium demand increases and the crop transitions from vegetative to reproductive development. Continue through harvest for sustained flavor development.

Does the carbohydrate source cause algae or biofilm in reservoirs?

At recommended application rates, the carbohydrate content is minor and unlikely to cause significant algae or biofilm issues in well-maintained recirculating systems. Ensure reservoirs are lightproofed and maintained according to best practices to minimize algae risk.
