contrary to popular belief plants make there own sugars and starches. stored in there leafs years ago we used to spray orange crush on dried buds gave them the sticky Crystal look. lol
Just like how cocaine being cut back with icing sugar lol
What people do not realize is like anything else adding to much is not good Carbs for instance some species of plants can absorb small amounts of carbs. threw there root systems very small amounts
But what happens to the extra carbs ?? that in fact will give you more problems then good results
See what your inviting is anaerobic conditions in your soil which you do not want
Now how should a person use or apply this mountain dew or coke ??? simple open up a can let it go stale then apply it to compost bin allowing over time the sugars etc to be utilized
Do not apply it directly onto living plant that is just looking for trouble and inviting unwanted pests
