How do plants get rid of there extra sugar?

[canadianhemperor]

It's probably the plant trying to sweat out excess nutrients or something. And you are using budcandy so it might explain why it's like red sugar when it's mixted with the plants resin. Dont see anybody having that problem ,so it's probably not common bacteria or pest......

It is NOT a bug! and you guys are way off subject here. can anyone answer my actual question??? PLEASE!!!!

[Audi331]

Thank you canadianhemperor. you are the only one to give me a straight answer on this... see thats kinda what i was thinking it was. but i wasent sure. i just know that its not a bug, and its not hurting my plant any at all.

Like I said add sensizym to your feeding program and dont use tap water when using enzymes . The chlorine kills the enzymes and you dont want that. This will help take care of the problem. And if you still have problems with budcandy switch to carboload it's almost the same thing.

[canadianhemperor]

And as you can see plants dont get rid of there extra sugar.

[canadianhemperor]

if you decide to add it to feeding schedule during the first 6 weeks of flowering. Use it like this : feed,water,water+sensizym,feed,water,water+sensizy m........

No chance for a pic, Audi? Sure would simplify things...

Later today I'll see if I can get some pics from my buddy for you to look at. He's got a strain that's been oozing SWEET goodness from the buds. But, it doesn't get hard or turn red. (well, maybe kinda reddish)

Curious what strain you're growing.
It almost sounds like it's just the plants fluids, oozing a bit. The fact that it dries up HARD seems to indicate that it is primarily water, which is leaving the red substance as it evaporates. Just a guess.
It's too early for any resins to have formed and degraded to a dark color, and that doesn't get real hard, anyway.

Is the substance tacky at all, or rock hard?
Have you tasted it? <--- Yes, I'm serious.

You can over-complicate your grow's and your grow techniques till the cow's come home, but that doesn't mean that everybody needs to be as "strict" to achieve the same results. Quite the opposite. Cannabis CAN be quite easy to grow, with beautiful results, without a super-anal regimin. It's only as hard as YOU make it.

If you are searching for a miracle product, a super-dooper tonic, or any other short-cut...it doesn't exist at any price. Knowledge is the miracle cure for your garden. Time in the growth cycle, time in the flower cycle, provide appropriate nutrients if it's not in the soil and start with a decent soil. And yes, if you fear drinking it, you should filter it. I never said otherwise. But I'm not going to constrain myself and do shit I don't need to do nor buy shit I don't need to buy because hydro guys fear...whatever the heck it is they fear. Ever wonder what kind of water they water the compost piles with when assembling your soils? Betcha it's not distilled or otherwise treated...which means you likely have the crap from their water swimming in your soil.

I've recently switched to FFOF, and am very pleased. Well, actually I'm kinda bummed. About 4 or 5 months ago I had just purchased a new Fox Farms trio when my local soil company changed formula's. Twas a nice rich (It was actually called Filthy Rich by Dr. Q) soil but they took the goodness and buffers out. Cheaper, but now garbage. Anyway, since I switched to the FFOF, I'm still finishing-up my opened bottles (as now I use MUCH less, it's lasting waaaay longer than before) and the unopened trio sit's in the closet getting old. The only additive I use is molasses once a week, and I do have to adjust my 7.9 ph water, which I do with PO4. (phosphoric acid - phDown)

If you have chlorine in your tapwater, let it outgas for a day. Chloramine is a different story though, as it won't outgas. And you folks seem to think you are the only ones in here reading this. I'm speaking to those folks that mistakenly THINK they need to filter or purchase their water. And I'm speaking to those that THINK they need an overly-complicated nutrient collection and every additive under the sun. Because that's just not true.
If it makes you feel good, disregard my insights. I'm definately ok with THAT, lol.

I so agree with every word of this folks, I think it is worth reading again.
To the original poster, I am sorry we are ruining your thread, this is very important though.

To all, sorry I took a grump pill, I had a partial finger amputation 12 hours before that post, not an excuse, but an explanation for my poor attitude.

Now, none of this applys to hydro grows in my book. I NEVER address hydro grows. My head does not do numbers well....nuff said.

That picture up there is of Nebula, grown in FFOF, the ONLY nute it got was 1 ml of BloomBastic(BB). No molasses, sugars, nothing but FFOF, with gradual repottings about every 4-6 weeks....that is the fertilizer. The BB bulks up the plants. You need to time the BB and give at the right times and each species tolerates it differently.

If you take the time to read the back of a bag of FFOF, it plainly states ON THE BAG that no other feeding is necessary for 4 weeks. This is all composted, sterile. Nothing lives in it BECAUSE it was composted which sterilized it. Looking at the content, it appears to be a cellulotic type material like ground up hay with some tiny sticks. A fair amount of vermiculite. What you cannot see is the worm castings or bird and bat guano, the latter two are very, very hot fertilizers. (Know anyone with a chicken coop?) They also buffer the product, not sure with what. SO FAR the mix has always been consistent.

Before I moved to the FFOF, I did have many problems, seemed like I was always chasing something. This stuff has made my life easier, my grows better at less cost, though I have upped the lumens in flower just recently, because I can and no other reason. Rusty still uses nutes in the FFOF, I am experimenting, but more in heavy dosing trying to stress a plant to make nanners.....always happened before when I gave too much.

Make it easy, make it hard, I don't care, I still would like to help the original poster.....again, any bugs how do the leaves look?

Ro water is water at it's purest form. And it's pretty much ph perfect. the 1 to 10 ppm's in it is mineral salts. that amount is sufficient. Look at any bottle of aquafina ro water read the label. You will see I'm only trying to help you and your wife. Chemo for 9 years that's just not right, I cant even imagine all the suffering your wife and you have gone through. Your wife should really try to calm down and should not get upset because of any post. Some dr say that stress,can cause cancer.

Its blueberry and I have tasted it its super dry tasting very bland, not sweet at all. It is also very hard.
