i don't know. i just noticed you are hydro, i'm soil. it's supposed to help flower growth. fatter, thicker, tighter.

there are actual products that have sugar and other sythesizers(?) in it. one that i know of is called "sweet". it does attract ants. but i think they may make it for hydro.

Yeah, Sweet is mostly Cane Sugar and Citric Acid. Together they do some good things in your hydro reservoir. I don't know about soil. But some folks use molasses in both hydro and soil. There's a good thread on molasses here, search for it.

I havent use sweet , but I think molasses is like carbo load.The molasses is backstrap molasses or unsulphured molasses only.But I wouldnt use it in hydro.the carbo load is carbohydrates for the flowering cycle.Molasses is too.In soil yes in hydro no. Peace
