How early into my flowering cycle should I add a sugar based additive?

HighTVanswered grow question 6 years ago
Hey there MrMunchies If you do wish to utilize a booster of this sort I highly recommend ensuring your roots are healthy and able to utilize the beneficial gains of added sugar! People have been known to start sugar supplementing as soon as flowering starts, but like I said I from my personal experience its best when your microbial life is on point to utilize the boost given by the added sugar! For DWC and hydroponics a simple product like "recharge" can help you achieve getting these microbes to the desired levels. Adding sugar at the start of flower with microbial life is the optimal move to make. Best of luck with your grow @MrMunchies feel free to ask any follow up questions you might have! 😎

hey @MrMunchies , i actually add that molasses starting on the last watering of veg, adding two table spoons dissolved in a glass of warm water before adding it to the plain water days. I found that it kicks off the flowering. Then keep adding it weekly or twice weekly during the flower stretch to sort of accompany the stretch with carbs and the micro nutrients. you want to tapper it off around week 4 or 5 of flowering so that you don t get weed that's too sweet - yes there is such a thing lol. Check out my grows, i think you can see it there. hope this helps bro ! 🚀

Hello ! Adding sugar in the early stage of flowering will increase your yield and enhance the flavour of your final product. Not only the plant will use it but also the beneficial bacteria will also degrade it to use it. It is a good way to bring out taste and flavour and products such as molasses and many carbohydrates does not have an high ec ( almost none for products like top max) so you can give your plant plenty of it. Now it's working better with beneficial microbes , but can work without. I recommend you to use enzymes as they will degrade the dead roots into sugar for your plant. I hope it will help you 😁✌️🏼

Defoliation (no horizontal room in my tent and a lot of vertical room)This may seem like a dumb question but is cutting these small lower branches off going to promote vertical growth in my plants? I will be doing it later on anyways to eliminate larf but would it be more beneficial now or is it worth to keep to take in light energy for now

Some guidance for ScrOG please@22cm & preflowering for about 4-5 days. Haven't noticed any stretching (~2-3cm)
When do I start with the ScrOG and at what height should one set the net ?
Also curious about defoliation: Right now, I keep tucking the fan leaves under the smaller ones.

Serious problem with small buds.This is my diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/198497-white-critical-express-super-silver-haze-grow-journal-by-italy-grower
the pistils are turning orange and the buds are small, maybe not enough room? Too much PK? Is it really a serious problem? What can I do? Some advice?

Defoliation AutoflowerHey fellow growers,
How should I approach defoliation with autoflowers during flowering? I'm thinking of removing lower leaves, especially near the soil. I prefer to be cautious to avoid mistakes. Reddit wasn't helpful as it seemed too critical. I hope for better insights here.

Removing of Big Leafs in Flower Phase ????Does it make sense to remove large leaves in the flowering phase to give the plant the opportunity to send more energy into the flowers or should you leave the larger leaves on because the plant also photosynthesises through them.

First Grow Help And FeedbackHello Grower,
OG Kush Flower Day 24: Lollipopped and defoliated 10 days ago. Can/should I defoliate again? The buds seem like they could get more light. Also, I noticed some sprinkles on the top leaves—could this be from too much P/K? Any tips and general feedback are welcome!

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!10 months ago
