Whats the purpose?

What is the purpose of putting sugar in the water and watering your plants with it, I have heard of some doing this every few watering sessions, what is the purpose of this?

to give the plants some carbohydrates they need them to produce thc

iyou need carbs to produce thc? i am using gh 3 part and thats all. should i put sugar in there? how much/gallon

Okay so is it safe to use sugar with nutes I am using as well?

not refined sugar....some form of unrefined sugar like molasses......this seems to be the choice of most that perscribe to this ...... the benefit extend to micronutiruents as well.

There's a purpose?

Hey thanks Tahoe, so your saying mix like a teaspoon or something of molasses into a gallon of water and just water it every so often like that?

seems like a lot of people use this when doing organic grows

Thats where I heard about it..

Most nute manufacturers make a "carb/sugar boost" supplement so you don't have to risk mucking up your hydro/aero system with sticky molasses. For General Hydroponics it is KoolBloom.
