Flushing with sugar

i've been wondering the same thing, since part of the point of drying and curing is to allow chlorophyll, starches, and sugars time to break down.
seems counter productive to me to add more of what you're going to try to remove shortly

I've read that plants can only uptake glucose, and sucrose would act as a chelator for other ions, but is not absorbed.
But I've also read that root zone sugar uptake is very poorly understood, and sucrose can dehydrate plants by osmosing their water away.

I don't do it, but it is an interesting idea worth experimenting with.

Cannabis isn't the problem, it's the shit we're trying to add to it... completely useless/unnecessary too.

Howdy,

Adding sugar or molasses is great to increase the soil; life. It won't feed your plants directly but it will feed the beneficial microbes which will then feed the plants.

If you are growing with mineral/synthetic fert, it's not as important since you won't be relying on the soil life for your plants to get their nutrients. It that case you just spoon feed the plants throughout the process.

If you are growing organically, start using sugar or molasses before the very end of the cycle. You're going to want all these beneficial microbes to have enough time to eat up the sugar and multiply so the plant can benefit from the microbial activity.
