Adding sugar during flowering

Your experience was different from mine. I tried it. It didn't seem to make any difference.

I might try it again in limited circumstances, such as once or twice to repopulate a potting mix with inoculum. Or perhaps to feed microorganisms in a worm tea.

Ok
My bad
No science behind this “one time at band camp”
But hey everybody try dumping sugar in your plants
Cause…

Listen man I'm here telling you I used regular sugar and it worked amazing. If these dudes on here wanna call me a liar their probably pushing someone's nutrient line. Dont believe me go try it on an extra plant and compare them. See for yourself

uhm
Ok
I will attempt this amazing revelation (although I have been afforded no proof in science) on my 123,456 plant so probably by the weekend
Any other tidbits of knowledge I should impart to said plant ?
And what are your thoughts on stressing my plant in flower when I add sugar?
Oh one more thing
Your feelings aren’t evidence kid :lol:

Lol is this a joke? I don't see shit that could be categorized as "absolutely astounding" and if you are about ready to harvest I really gotta ask wtf are you intending to harvest? There's nothing mind blowing here but your delusion.

I think he is seeking knowledge really
Probably trying to get RIU’s secret handshake grape kool aid (all your plants will be purple) recipe
Shhhh;)

Here's the deal.

1 these are no where close to ripe. You want to be blown away? Let it finish. You will be amazed and how much fatter they will get.

2 you have nitrogen toxicity. Probably why they didn't look so hot previous.

Do yourself a favor brother. Let these ladies go another 5-6 weeks and then chop.

I've used molasses before, but I don't really use it anymore. Every once in awhile I might, but I don't remember the last time I did. I think it's better in teas. I just let my roots feed the microbes the sugars. I think it's better to not let them get use to rely on added sugars, but that's just a theory. I've also heard adding extra can make a population explosion and then a crash, but I forget where I heard that and don't know how real that is.

I thought that study from that University was kinda interesting though.

I have never used any kind of sugar based anything in mine.

Basically because I'm tired from my days and don't need more shit to focus on lol. The swap to Dr earth made my life just a ton easier. Now I legit just have to add it once a month and water.

I keep some pride lands around as well in the veg formula if I need an instant kick of nitrogen. I needed to use it once this summer and after that I had figured out the timing for Dr earth.

If you add sugar to food it sweetens it.
If you add it to drinks it does the same.
Adding it to a plant?
C’mon … how does that work?
Think about it for a second.
You eat sugar. Does your sweat taste different? Does your hair smell different?
It’s not a thing.
Any improvement in growth is purely coincidental. Or you’re dialed in.

I’ve never done a micro grow but I too would say you have a while to go.
And reduce the N. More P/K.

I might have to try it someday.
The micro grow.
Not the sugar.
