If your buds are wispy and thin, though, you should look to other possible causes as well- the most common are heat stress and light leaks.
Sugar is useful but like other sources of carbon, if your grow environment is poor, its value is negligible.
A carb synthesizer such as Sweet has the catalysts to improve sugar usage by your plants.
Thankyou so much, I've been learning alot since I joined this site, the plant I have though isn't in a growroom, I'm growing in good soil outside in southern Texas, I've posted all the details of this plant in the thread titled "Lost & Found" It's the one I found growing in my backyard already budding...more than likely from a bag of mids or beasts...it is doing reat since I took it under my care, but the buds aren't getting very big...lots of trichomes and white and orange pistils...just not very large.

How often do I use the molasses and water? Every time I water? I give her 200 mililiters of distilled water every morning and 50 mililiters at night since the texas weather dries it up so damn quick.
ex-stoner/new grower Reviewed by ex-stoner/new grower on . Sugar Water? I was told that I could feed my plant sugar water to thicken my buds up if they are light and feathery. Is this true? And if so, how much water to suar ratio? Thanks Rating: 5
