The sugar feeds soil microbes, and allows them to reproduce more quickly, which they in turn convert dirt to plant soluble nutrients.

Yes, plain sugar will work. Though it doesn't take much. Maybe 1 TBSP per gallon. If you were to taste the water(before/after), you should not be able to notice any change of sweetness.

But the sugar doesnt do what molasses does. If your using it for organic growing you may have some benfits but more draw backs then good and I woiuld just add guano in for the microbes

got same prob wi the thai ss. This plant does not like the heat in my experience. Got 6 various strains growin. When the mercury starts rising the same happens with mine. Other 5 are fine. Are they the free seeds the attitude were dishing out? Maybe thats why they were free!

If they have it and they should get Grandma original unsulphured black strap molasses about $2.68 a jar it works the best..just never add to an aero setup..good grows

I am thinking about putting mine in the bin. Make room for summit a bit more productive. They got a long flowering period, from what i have read the yield is not that great.

Might be a nice smoke tho. And they grow very tall twice as tall as my afgan strain at this stage about 4 weeks veg now on 12/12 as from tonite:)

Could well be! Not saying you should bin yours. If you got the space, go for it! Remember and post a smoke report when its finished. Best of luck mate. Geo

I have grown with and without complex carbs provided by sugars(Mollasses, Carbo load etc.Not Sugar itself). It increases overall weight somewhat, but it can also kill your plants awful fast too. Especially if bacteria get growing, the sugar is food for them. I have seen roots go from nice crisp and white to black and rotten in 4 days from sugars effects. I only use it the last 2 weeks before flushing with water for 1 week and then clearex for 1 week. Last grow I used none and everything turned out well, yield was down 2 ounces total though.

It for sure will not get you a 10 fold increase. NOTHING can do a 10 fold. Expect a 10% increase in weight at the most.

I get about a 20% increase using products like sweet or sweet leaf and suagr daddy but with molasses a 10% increase is about on point I agree

Quick Q has anyone used sugar during the flowering stage?? Ive been told this increases yield tenfold would like to know if this is just hearsay or not

Thanks

sugar is not absorbable to a plant it feeds microbes, and should be used throughout all stages, if you want a sweetener than use mag sulphate
