this is just fromwhat ive been told

1 the gatorade (lucozade in uk) is fizzy causing bubbles to get into the soil to help root
2 near the ends the buds like sugary liquids

but thats about it really i didnt get much back from it im afraid but i can see the principle !!
well if u wana clone then you dont wont it budding to keep it in 16/8 light so cloning will be easier
