It’s not some super secret thing. It’s hummingbird nectar. Very diluted of course. And before you start thinking you know everything there is to know. Realize that you aren’t the end all be all of everything weed. Then maybe try having a open minded discussion. If that’s not something you wanna do I would appreciate it if you would stfu
If you're talking about that red stuff it's just sucrose and if you have hummingbirds stop feeding it to them. Mix 1/4 cup of plain cane sugar to 1 cup of plain water in a saucepan. Bring it to a simmer, let it cool, and fill your hummingbird feeders.

Using sugar in your feed does not make your buds sweeter or fruitier. Do you think the sugars go straight into the buds and add sweetness like some powdered sugar on a Beignet? If so you are wrong. The plant doesn't take in sugar sweetness.

Like has already been said. If you want a fruity strain then grow a fruity strain. They do exist.

Trying to change the taste of your cannabis by manipulation is as ridiculous as harvesting a couchlock strain early for a head high. It doesn't make any sense.

Hummingbird nectar??? How exactly are you getting this? Store bought I presume? My gf likes to make it and we have 4 feeders. Its water boiled with sugar. We don't add dye cause wtf for? The hummingbirds don't care what color it is. You say fuck molasses but will use this instead. I would just walk this one back and start doing a little more reading bro. You want a fruity strain, get a fruity strain.
The red dye is attract hummingbirds, who (allegedly?) prefer red flowers for some reason.

Ironically, the OP has stumbled upon the truth of the (liquid) nutrients we use - they're sugar and/or salt water. The problem with trying to be a smarty pants on a site like this is we have peeps who have decades of experience and knowledge, people with degrees, commercial growers, etc Trying to demonstrate how smart you on RIU is a sure way to end up looking stupid.

I didn’t stumble on anything my friend. I did research to see if I was on the right track before I ever did a thing. And I have not seen anyone bring up the subject before. And I was trying to see if anyone had done this or ever considered it. Although that back fired due to Roy being full of narrow minded aggressive clowns who think you should kiss their ass. Lmfao
