Flushing with Sugar?

I will be flushing the final week with either florakleen or clearex. I use the canna system but also add honeychome for sugar so should I add the boost and honeycomb with the flush?

The definition of flushing is to just add water, nothing else, so no don’t add anything else if you are flushing. With that said don’t bother flushing, your plants will love you much more if you keep feeding them.

I tried it last season for giggles, used molasses iirc in the last week or so. I can't guarantee it contributed at all but I did have a flavorful, aromatic harvest last season. A little stimulation to your rhizosphere can't hurt too bad, gets those microbes active and hopefully helping your plant get those last nutrients it wants out of the dirt, and it works as a cal/mag and micronute supp too

Who comes up with this shit???
The marketing department.

CEO to marketing: If I put some sugar water in a bottle can you sell it to the cannabis crowd?

Marketing: We can sell anything to the cannabis crowd. We'll call it FlushX Flower Flavor and sell it for $25.99 a bottle. Guaranteed it will be a big hit. All we need to do is claim it increases terpenes, flavor, and yield by 20%. We won't be able to keep it stocked on the shelves.

CEO: Get it done. While you're at it lets come up with another idea for a bloom booster. We need a catchy name to call our watered down MKP.

OP, the best approach is stop overfertilizing your plants.

Over-fertigation is the ONLY reason for leeching the medium

Yeah but what about molasses?
in theory it ought to go blackstrap molasses > lighter molasses > brown sugar > white sugar.

The further you get towards pure sugar the less antioxidants and micronutrients, which themselves are nice plant and microbial foods and stimulants that help them do their thing

They spend more on marketing than QC because its shown to be far more lucrative...especially when the target audience can barely grow a blade of grass.
