High Science : Apical Dominance - but wait, there’s more

I think that would be a great thing to try buds73 I personally want to set up an A & B comparison next time I clone. From what I get from the study, excess sugar that isn't used by the main stem for growth will be redistributed to bud sites and encourage growth. I'm still searching for negative effects of too much sugars in the root zone, but so far, the information doesn't jump out in search results as a red flag.
 
Sounds like a pot-plant with a sweet tooth wrote the original paper.
"Just leave all that sugar here. Trust me."
"Does this extra sugar make my buds look fat?" Lol. :)
 
It would be interesting to see the results of a side by side comparison. Maybe the real reason why molasses are used towards the end of flowering is to replace sugars that are lost through the amount of leaf lost/colour changes and not necessarily to fatten or sweeten the taste of the buds although it seems it may just do that to which brings up another question of whether sugars provided by molasses have a greater benefit than sugars provided by the leaves/plant itself?

As for excess sugars in the root zone or in soil I do wonder whether that could be more of an invitation for pests
 
I smell what you're cooking and I like it. That is a great hypothesis.
Excess sugars in the root zone could be an invite for certain pests but I think through smart management it could be avoided.
