    works for me

    I do actually add some ascorbic acid to the water I use to clear with, during the last week or so of flowering. I add 1 tsp/gal of raw cane sugar, which has trace amounts of most of the TCA acids, and then I add just a pinch/gallon of ascorbic acid. I have never done a side-by-side, so I can't be definitive about it, but it works great for getting all the ferts out, and the herbs taste great. No harshness at all, just MJ.

    . . . ascorbic acid is the same thing as citric acid, right?

    Re: Sooo . . .

    A lot of people mistakenly think citric acid and Vitamin C are the same thing. In reality, they are not. They are, however, found in many of the same foods, which causes this confusion. The scientific name of Vitamin C is ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid is not the same as citric acid. Citric acid is found in citrus fruits, but ascorbic acid is also found in vegetables as well as fruits.


    As you can see from the diagram, the two molecules are similar, but not the same. :cool:

    effects

    Ok, but do they have a similar effect on the plant? I read that using citric acid and sugar in the resevoir during flush time can inhance the flavour/odor. Would ascorbic acid do this, or does it merely boost the plant's metabalism?

    ascorbic aci will break down vi the citric acid or kreb cycle at any rate, both can be used but I prefer citric as its got the highest bioavailability within a solution and loves to bind (has high affinity)to the sugars if you are using it to increase metabolic rate.
