i have been reading that using sugar in while foliar feeding increases the buds weight by something like 20% (from the Jorge Cerevantes grow bible). would adding something like honey have the same effect because it is a more natural sugar than that processed shit.

Any thoughts :wall:?

THE Bible says spray sugar water ON foliage? WOW. Honey's a whole different animal than processed sugar and I just can't imagine either not building up on the buds and affecting burn and taste?

This is news to me. I was worried about insects from using molasses in soil and just think ants, or something, would have to invade sugar-coated leaves?

Good luck. I'll be keepin' an eye on this.

I don't recall seeing that in the bible, however I distinctly remember him suggesting to use molasses in hydro reservoirs.

As long as your rez is well oxygenated you'll be fine. This may require the use of an airstone and air pump. I was able to get away with simply agitating the water regularly with a big spatula a couple of times every day.
