I don't mean to hijack your thread MrWhippy. Hopefully these are quick questions and are somewhat relevant.

I'm growing for the first time and I'm probably going to try out this sugar/molasses idea. Day 17 of flower right now and we're seeing lots of pistils on new growth. I have a couple of questions though.

First, should I even bother with this on my first grow? If it's probably not going to make a noticeable difference until I'm more experienced then you can ignore the rest of the questions.

Should I wait until actual buds start to grow before adding any sugar to their water?

I'm giving them straight water every 3rd watering. Should I add any sugar to that or only when they're getting ferts as well?

KP: you said that plain old sugar works as well. Would cane sugar or brown sugar be any better? I only ask because I know that refined white sugar is not the healthiest sugar for humans.

I have white sugar and brown sugar on hand, but if molasses is better than either one I will pick up some of that instead.

RoX / Rocks - Bud Densener/Thickener Hi, I heared about this chemical that you can add to a flowering plant that makes the buds grow denser. when the plant is in the flowering stage you add a certain amount of this RoX or Rocks chemical. Once added, it makes the final buds on your plant expand and as a result, your buds are alot thicker than they would be naturally, so this chemical makes the buds just like the name says "Rocks", it makes the buds very dense and thick. I have done ALOT of google'ing and i cannot find any Rating: 5
