Thanks for the welcome, but I can't really do the whole Q&A trip anymore. I once was putting 6-8h/day into it, inclusive of frequently repeating myself when a new grower would join one of the 'Ask Al' threads late in the game.

Way too messy.

Yeppers. While vascular plants themselves can't use sugars as a nutrient,
in an organic soil grow, adding sugars will feed certain microbes which help to break down organic matter into nutrients which the plant can absorb. However, you don't get to pick & choose which microbes you're feeding. All of them get a feed. You're encouraging pathogens along with any bacteria which are breaking down organic matter. A yummy sugar solution also attracts insects which can cause you grief later down the track.
In a proper hydro op, the only organic matter present should be the cannabis plants themselves. Those attempting 'organic' hydro ops are on their own. I honestly can not count the number of people running 'organic' hydro ops who have approached me over the years who had root rot probs which could be attributed to nothing but failure of biological pathogen control methods. Since 'organic' hydro nutes are broken down
tout suite by H2O2, one can't use H2O2 in such systems.
Bear in mind that the nutrients made bioavailable by natural decomposition of organic matter are the very same nutrients you get in inorganic nutes.
