I use sweet as an additive...but you can't beat it to use in a flush for overfeed every once in awhile..I use organic nutes every water, and sometimes every watering starts too look like too much..so I give some sugar water with one watering and all the early over nute issues clear right up...quick carbon...lol

Hey whats up everybody, I was told that by adding sugar to your flowering plants can increase yeild up to 20%. I tried disolved the sugar and fed them but it sealed the soil. Made it spongy and sticky and some of my roots were bright red in spots. Anybody know what i did wrong?
why would you add sugar to your plants because someone on the web told you to?.........were they sick..?somethin lacking..?there IS NO mirical snake shit...if your plants were fine why fuk with that...if they were sick and you added sugar cause someone told u to on the web..serves u right...once bitten i hope....get a book written by a master experienced gardener/botonist......take the crap you read here with a grain of snake shit...my advice.

sugar is added to feed the microlife in the soil(in my oppinion since people seem to think it can do other things).
As Missnu says it may also help leech unwanted nutrients.

I can see sugar killing a plant... at very high concentrations. Most likely it caused an osmotic imballance between the roots and the soil and prevented the plant from being able to pull in water.

This sounds like when video killed the radio star? :D I read somewhere but can't find the right book that sugar added to a grow will increase yield but I don't remember reading anything about it actually doing anything to the potency or taste of the flower. I'm thinking it's used for increasing weight of the product one sells, personally I'm growing for myself and a few close friends so i'm not gonna be interested in essentially fluffing my bags to appease a friend or whoever ends up with what I grow.
