it would seem easier to just put a little sugar, or even sugar water, in the soild at the base of your plants where it can drain out and not clog the soil up. plants DO eat a little of whatever's in their soil. don't grow anything in soil near train tracks and even tiny amounts of blood meal ruin flavor to me.

instead of stressing stems with injections, just as someone said, let the roots do their thing and absorb what they want. i think i might have tried mixing sugar in with water and top watering and choking the soil. a good organic mix with a strain that makes it's own sugars seems to be the easy way to do it.

I'm growing indoor under 3 26W cfl's which kick out around 1800 lumens each.
The current problem I'm having is that the lower stems (about 2" from base) aren't stemming at all! They will cluster a bit, but for the most part, they don't seem to be doing anything. I've tested everything and all the leaves are dark green. There are a few from time to time that will curl a bit and get yellow. ( I just snip them with a sterile razor blade ).The plant is around 2 & 1/2 feet at most and it's been around 8 weeks. Am I just to worried for nothing? Or should I be doing something that I'm not?
Many help would be appreciated. Cheers

"Photosynthesis (from the Greek φώτο- [photo-], "light," and σύνθεσις [synthesis], "putting together", "composition") is a process that converts carbon dioxide into organic compounds, especially sugars, using the energy from sunlight"

that being said lol .
roots dont "absorb" sugar .
and the main reason to do that would to assist the plant .

example , hydroponics .
we assist the plant by providing it nutrient rich water so it can be easily absorbed .

via soil , they have to break all the stuff down .
hence why hydro will grow more rapidly compared to soil . (not saying that ones better than the other)

back on topic ! so if the plant can use say 100 "points" of sugar a day , but only produces 75 "points" from the light .
why not assist it with 25 addition "points" of sugar" .

do you understand where im coming from ?

well if u inject it it isnt going to be broken down. actully u can poor molasses into your soil witch is the same thing basicaly and i dont think suger water is going to work i think your plants will most likely die. when you poor it into your soil it creates benifical microbes and the soil helps break it down into usables stuff for the plant the soil would break it down and i dont think a plant is going to beable to absorb a thick soloution of suger water. its probably going to clog up the main stem and kill the plant why even try this? there is clearly no science and you dont even know how to do it your just assuming that u inject it into the stem. i have a prediction (ur plant is going to die) lol
good luck man.

have you ever heard of "ask ed" its actually pretty popular .
he writes a column in "cannabis culture" .

people ask , he tells .
he seems to know his shit .
however about the whole type of sugar stuff . about damaging the plant ...

thats why its posted =p .
I want to learn how to do it properly but there VERY little information out there .
..
I'm moving soon , ill try to do a 3 v 3 comparison . a small dosage shot a week or something .

yea you might as well inject it with bull shark testostorne

ok, i have a crappy NL for nirvana that i just germed. I can get sterile needles and i will try different concentrations of glucose. Ill post with pics in about 1 month. Ill start with .1M sucrose, and go up to as high as possible to see what the threshold is in increments of .2M. Chances are, if it can stand the sucrose intake its going to be good for it (unless its way to little). Ill make a new thread but yall will have to wait til i veg this thing out.

lol look man now u got a shit load of noobs killing their plants ROFL THIS SHIT CRACKS ME UP. the plant isnt going to beable to break the sugers down do some recherch in basic botany and you will learn that this will not work. i used to inject my plants with stuff when i was 12 years old lol i relly did though nedless to say they all died lol

I think "too little" would be better then "too much" .
I was thinking of doing weekly injections of corn syrup .
but its your call , it probably will die . just fyi .
I would like to see yours as well though :P .
WEED SCIENCE !

sad that your encorageing the death of a marijuana plant :( im done with this thred

^ thats actually a really good idea .
would they be empty ? or would I have to drain them ?

I was thinking a needle exchange place .
but dont wanna look like a junky lol .

and I dont wanna steal them from my doctors .

they have fit pack vending machines at all hospitals, will cost ya about 5 bucks for a pack of needles

wouldnt advice doing the injecting sugar as i said before nor the hormones. it dont work to juist add more. needs to be in certain measurments or it blocks others out and may just get a tall lanky stretched plant. or no growth at all. most foods already have the needed hortmoens and other in it at the right ballances. only thinbg injecting sugar will do is clog up the plant. it cant proxcess suagr or any food this way. it has to go through a chemical change to be a food to them. till then its its sugar and does nothing. has to be a salt or a carbon molecule attached to the element to become a food for a plant. this is why synthetic are avail right away and organic isnt. synthetic is already turned to a salt by us. the organic does it in the medium

Because you make stupid ridiculous posts everywhere. And you obviously dont know shit and talk out of your ass in 99% of your posts you really mess up my ability to learn from people that actually know what they are talking about. Because i cant read anymore in the thread because your stupid posts give me a mental block that makes me not want to read anymore. So do everybody a favor and stfu!

Resurrection time. Anyone ever actually give this a fair shot? Also curious about what growth regulators might have promise to go with the sucrose. The science and tests on cereal and soy make this idea look promising.

I've never injected anything, but I've noticed that foliar feeding by misting with blackstrap molasses (and diluted coffee + a teeny bit of aspirin) really speeds up early root development. I have no proof for it, but my theory is that since they can absorb sugar through the leaves and the roots use starch and sugar from the leaves to grow at night, it just gives them extra food. I noticed much stronger and faster root development from the plants foliar fed with the BSM than plants the plants not foliar fed with it (Including plants that were soil fed BSM, although the plants that were foliar fed AND soil fed with it had the fastest development. TL;DR = FoliarBSM+SoilFedBSM>FoliarBSM>SoilFedBSM>Neither). ANYWAYS, I would extrapolate that to say that if you injected sugar you would probably see similarly increased root development, but that is just a guess.

No sucrose or injections or anything of the kind in that 50 minute video, not a bad video, but nothing on topic.

That was the only one I found posted by you in your lighting thread.

There was totally little bottles of sucrose put on cut stems to alter growth in that vid, no they didn't use needles but still ,,,,,

So the plants make sugar...and then discard every last bit of it? No...plants make sugars, and then use most of it. A plant will release some of it's sugars through its roots QUOTE]
It will also release sugars from the fan leaves.
I see it all the time!

I must have blinked or something, I didn't notice that part, I skimmed it yesterday and just finished watching the whole thing on my lunch break today.
