I haven't heard of sugar but I do use a general hydroponics additive called flora nectar. They have a bunch of different flavors: berry, pineapple ect but the one I use is sugar cane flavor. It does make the buds taste sweeter. Idk what it has in it or if regular sugar would do the same thing but just thought I would share

Kool thank you maybe ill look into gettin some of that

[Grower-Aaron]

I haven't tried any of their other flavored ones. I want to at some point just haven't gotten around to it. The sugar cane really does make em taste sweeter tho so I would imagine the other ones work to. If u try it let me know how it works for ya

Sugar in the form of raw, white or molasses is used not as a nutritional feed but as a composting additive. The sugar we associate with in supermarkets is not a soluble form that plants can use. If it were, we could probably have plants indoors and feed it pure energy.

Tyler? How far into the grow are u? I start to use it as soon as I see the little white tufts of spikey hairs that turn into buds all the way up thru flush. I have started later in the flower cycle before and it still worked but when you start using it super early it seems to be more intense, stronger, sweeter. I assume the same would be true for the fruit flavors

I am 22days into flower. It might not be as strong once I get it but we will see how it works for a couple weeks
