Sugar is not the best foliar spray, but if you want bugs...it attracts them nicely. If you want sticky plants, walls and equipment, sugar is the ticket.

Are you sure your sugar water is doing anything other than clogging the leaf's stomata? I'm not. The sugars must be broken-down into a usable form for it to benefit a plant. Otherwise it's not something the plant uses, it's something it deals with.

If sugar water was so good, compainies like Advanced Nutrients would have most of their products derived from it. But that's not the case, as most of their products are derived from some form of molasses. Mostly sugar beet or cane sugar, but there are other totally bullshit concoctions that are simply watered-down molasses with a hefty pricetag.

CalMag Plus, is a great example of this. It's not a bullshit concoction, but it is watered-down molasses. It's an ok product, per-se...but the 3 main benefits from molasses is the calcium, the magnesium, and the iron. Plus, there's carbs for bulking and a plethora of micronutes, but at fairly insignificant levels. Sugar water has...processed sugar and water.

Believe it or not...even though this thread is three years old...the information is still valid. I'd ditch the sugar water for something that works.
Rusty Trichome Reviewed by Rusty Trichome 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
