Product Overview
Sticky Bandit 0-0-1 is a carbohydrate supplement that enhances terpene production, increases resin development, and improves flavor and aroma profiles in flowering plants. The formula feeds both plants and beneficial microbes, creating a thriving root zone ecosystem while fueling the energy-intensive processes of secondary metabolite synthesis.
Plants produce carbohydrates through photosynthesis, but this energy-intensive process can limit resources available for terpene and resin production during peak flowering. Sticky Bandit bypasses this bottleneck by supplying pre-formed carbohydrates directly to roots, allowing plants to redirect energy toward the compounds that determine aroma, flavor, and potency.
Key Benefits
- Provides instant energy for enhanced terpene biosynthesis and resin production
- Feeds beneficial soil microbes, improving nutrient cycling and root zone health
- Stimulates trichome development for increased aromatic compound concentration
- Fully soluble formula works in soil, coco, and hydroponic systems
Ideal For
Growers prioritizing terpene profiles, resin production, and overall flower quality. Particularly effective in living soil systems and grows using beneficial microbes where carbohydrate feeding creates measurable improvements in microbial activity.

How To Use
Sticky Bandit 0-0-1
Provides readily available carbohydrates that boost plant energy, enhance terpene and trichome production, and feed beneficial microbes in the root zone. Frequency: Use 1-2 times per week.
- Mix in room temperature water (65-72°F / 18-22°C)
- Frequency: Use 1-2 times per week (not every feeding)
- Mixing Order: Add AFTER base nutrients and CalMag, but BEFORE Monkey Juice
- Use throughout vegetative and flowering stages
- Increase dosage during flowering for enhanced terpene production
- Stop using during ripen and flush weeks
- Provides energy boost without requiring plant to photosynthesize carbohydrates
- Works synergistically with Monkey Juice to feed beneficial bacteria
- For specific dosages and week-by-week schedule, see Feed Schedules section
💡 Pro Tip: Use 1-2 times per week. Add after base nutrients, before Monkey Juice. Boosts terpenes and feeds beneficial microbes.
Basic Mixing Instructions
- Start with room temperature water (65-72°F / 18-22°C)
- If using Armadillo Armour, add it FIRST
- Add base nutrients in proper order and mix thoroughly
- Add CalMag after base nutrients (if applicable)
- Add other additives, with Monkey Juice LAST
- Check pH (5.6-6.4 depending on stage and medium)
- Apply to plants - water until 10-20% runoff

General Mixing Tips
- Use room temperature water (65-72°F / 18-22°C)
- Mix each nutrient thoroughly before adding the next
- Never mix concentrated nutrients together
- Check and adjust pH after all nutrients are mixed
- Store nutrients in cool, dark place away from direct sunlight
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start using Sticky Bandit?
You can run Sticky Bandit from early veg all the way through late bloom. Terpene and resin benefits become most noticeable during mid–late flower, but using it early helps build root-zone biology.
How often should I apply Sticky Bandit?
Use it once per week or every other watering in soil and coco.
In hydro systems, run it at ¼–½ strength once per week.
In hydro systems, run it at ¼–½ strength once per week.
Does Sticky Bandit actually boost terpene production?
Yes — supplying carbohydrates directly frees up plant energy for terpene synthesis, essential oil production, and resin growth. Growers usually see improved aroma, richer flavor, and frostier flowers.
Is Sticky Bandit safe to use in hydroponics?
Absolutely. Sticky Bandit is clean, sediment-free, and fully soluble, so it won’t clog lines or leave residue.
Should I use Sticky Bandit with Monkey Juice?
This is one of the best pairings in the whole Cronk lineup. Sticky Bandit feeds the beneficial bacteria in Monkey Juice, and the microbes return the favor by improving nutrient release and root health.
Does Sticky Bandit replace base nutrients or bloom boosters?
No — Sticky Bandit is an additive, not a replacement. Keep running your base nutrients (Classic, Autoflower, or PuurOrganics) and any bloom enhancers like Bud Booster.
What results can I expect from using Sticky Bandit?
You can expect richer aroma and flavor, higher terpene and resin production, and an overall boost in plant vigor and flower quality. Sticky Bandit also fuels root-zone microbes, making it one of the strongest quality enhancers in the Cronk lineup.
