Adding sugar during flowering

Good afternoon folks.
So I have been doing micro grows for quite some time, The one thing that has always caught my attention and curiosity was sugar!
I starting growing marjuana in British Columbia 10 years ago, I am not living in alberta basically experimenting with indoor micro grows during the winter. I have read so many different articles on molasses, Table sugars & Brown sugars. Sooo I had to start doing my own research.
I want to inform everybody on here of what I decided to do .
I spent 4 months growing 2 plants under 2 simple full spectrum noma led bulbs with desk lamps. I waited until week 6 of flowering and I have to say my plants were not looking very great. I mixed 2 table spoons of sugar with 1 liter of water and shook the hell out of it. Then I dumped it right into my soil and the results were absolutely astounding. Basically I wanted to see what I could grow using minimal lighting and sugar and it blew my mind. I'm at week 7 and about ready to harvest. The first picture is week 6 before sugar and week 7 is the other pictures..

I don't know who let you in on the secret formula to success... Sugar has been scientifically proven to triple your yields. Hummingbird nectar? Don't even get me started on how fantastic your plants will smell.

Edit: Spraying your plants in flower will double the effects. Oh wait nevermind I see you found that trick too, you're good.

I find sugar is an excellent way to get ants

I used straight up table sugar and water and it's like steroids for this plant. Its loving it and my opinion, I'll be using table sugar from here on out with all my indoor grows in the last weeks of flowering. So if anybody is wondering if you can use simple table sugar? Well it's working amazing for my simple experiment. Sugar

I keep my grow space clean, I never have issues with bugs. Maybe it's the northern climate

So I have read a couple opinion pieces on using sugar and believe the concept is feeding the soil as plants don’t take in sugar as well as molasses why are you adding it in last weeks of flower ?
What do you believe it does?
and can you cite scientific facts to prove your claim before every noob starts putting sugar in their grow?
TIA

I have never seen a plant explode like this in week 7. I suggest anybody to put a plant aside in their grow tent wait until week 5 or 6 and toss sugar water in the pot I'd love to see others reactions because I'm mf mind blown right now on how much this plant is exploding with trechs

Hey herbs, is it beneficial at all to add molasses? or is it generally a bad idea to add any type of sugar to a grow? i know some people use that special formulated sugar nutrient for buds but is it just hype?

I'm not telling every noob to add sugar to their soil I'm telling everyone to put an extra plant aside and try it for yourself. Wait until flower and try 1 plant out if you are as amazing as me in the transformation in 7 days as I was then it's a win for you. If the plant dies it was an extra plant anyways.

I used it in organic growing to feed the soil
Nothing else

So it would be useless in a soiless grow. thanks man.

No it's not a wise tale, I just did it and got amazing results. If you are here to call me a liar go ahead buddy I'm here sharing my experience as I wanted to know for myself so I got off my lazy arse and took a risk that more then paid off. If you dont like my thread carry on and go bash someone else's post. Their is not reason for you to be on my post bashing me.

Guess some people cant stand the fact their just willing to take more risks to become better growers

I, personally add molasses to every other watering and have been for about 5 years. It certainly doesnt hurt and seems to affect different strains differently. Some will really take off and others not so much but as for recommending it for all strains, I'd say absolutely!

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

Do you use soil or soil-less grow substrate? thanks.

Always good to hear two sides, I will definitely be giving it a try next run when i have more biologically active substrate.
