Emerald Harvest Honey Chome - Carbohydrate and Aroma Booster
Best for: growers wanting to boost aroma, flavour and resin production during flowering with a simple carbohydrate additive.
Our thoughts
Booster additives can be a mixed bag, some do very little for the money. Honey Chome earns its place because the mechanism is simple and genuine: feed the plant and the beneficial microbes in the rootzone real sugars, and both benefit. It's not going to transform a mediocre grow, but as a finishing-stage addition to a solid feed schedule it's worth having.
Honey Chome is a carbohydrate-based additive from Emerald Harvest, made from around 95% organic ingredients including cane sugar, palm sugar and agave nectar. These simple sugars are easily taken up by roots and feed the beneficial microorganisms in the rootzone, alongside magnesium to support photosynthesis and sugar movement through the plant.
It's designed to be added to your existing feed during the later stages of the grow, when the plant's building resin, aroma and flavour compounds and can benefit from an extra carbohydrate source on top of the base nutrient line.
How it compares
Carbohydrate and aroma additives are a crowded category, and Honey Chome sits alongside the established names.
- General Hydroponics' CALiMAGic and Advanced Nutrients' Bud Candy occupy similar territory, carbohydrate and micronutrient blends aimed at late-flower quality.
- House & Garden's Multizen offers a broader multi-vitamin-style additive rather than a straight carbohydrate boost.
- Molasses is the traditional, cheapest DIY version of the same idea, feeding rootzone microbes with sugar, but without the added magnesium or organic sourcing.
You're paying for a formulated, consistent version of a well-established feeding technique rather than reinventing it.
Usage guidance
Honey Chome is an additive, so it's used on top of your existing base feed, not instead of it.
When to start
Introduce it from mid-flower onward, once the plant has moved past the stretch phase and is building bud mass.
Dosing
Follow the brand's feed chart for your reservoir size and mix in with your regular nutrient solution, checking EC after adding to avoid overshooting your target.
Reservoir hygiene
Sugars can encourage algae and microbial growth in standing reservoirs, keep an eye on water clarity and change reservoirs on schedule.

Our take
It's a simple, well-sourced carbohydrate additive that does a specific job late in the grow rather than promising the earth. Used correctly, alongside a proper base feed, it earns its spot in the schedule.
Worth picking up if you're already running Emerald Harvest and want to finish strong.
