Using straight sugar in flower (dwc tubs)

When making sweet tea, you boil the water until the sugar dissolves. So how about boiling 2 cups of sugar into a pan of water, letting it cool, then adding it to the hydro tub? (Per 10 gallon tub, actually holding maybe 7 gallons).

I think molasses, coconut water, big bud, and bud candy are all trying to get sugar to the buds, but maybe I'm wrong. I haven't been able to find large quantities of coconut water for sale, and molasses will gum up air stones. I'd like to know what you think.

DON'T DO IT.
Don't even add molasses to Dwc, in my opinion.
ph swings big time, is messy etc...
you don't need it.

I agree, NEVER use straight sugar. i recommend useing blackstrap molasses (quantity varies on your res) and keeping a close eye on your PH levels and also make sure to regularly clean and purifiy your res and plumbing, as usualy. I`ve used blackstrap molasses with my DWC systems in the past with no problems. To see the proper way to clean your system i would check out the article here.

Thanks I'll check out the article. Well if you didn't have any problems, I'll try it. Air stones are cheap and I have some extras in case it stops bubbling.

That article link isn't working.
