im pretty sure that you've proven that you can produce without sugar, and i truly dont care what the fuck your doing...keep representing those guys and imma keep reppin that gOON sQUAD, and dont worry... im sure those "true bay area growers" will pat you on the back for jumpin all over me. its just too bad they aint factors, and neither are you. get off where your mad at and worry bout what the fuck you doin chump

Check it out jordan sugar is a waste of time please understand i mean you no harm but truly ive tried everything you can imagine and then some i am a master grower and sugar is bad in hydro go ahead and use it make my day but when you want to get to the next level come talk to me being consistent is what its all about 2 pounds off of one 1000watter every 60 days is a great feeling do you know how that feels

Just flush with Clearex or a similar product during the last two weeks of flowering; contains glucose and sucrose... natural sugars.

two pies in two months is bad ass, but thats not what im trying to do right now...but i cant be mad atchu for puttin up stats like that. this is my second DWC grow that ive used sugar in and i have not seen anything bad happen with my plants. im pretty sure i have my fogger to thank for that, it pretty much eliminates all of the potentially harmful little buggers that would benefit from the presence of sugar in the root zone

well, Im sure that my rez temps had alot to do with it. Im glad that i have found that someone uses it without problem (made me concentrate more on the temps) regardless if it does anything due to not being able to be absorbed by the roots... Regardless... Im not sure how your system is considered DWC if you are using a fogger....sounds more tike aeroponics in a bucket... in any case..good luck to all... ill stick to the AN line due to the vast research they have put in.... Although i have just ordered seeds from mandala... hashberry... and they state that the max ppm they recommend is 500... that it is a very light feeder... Hell sound like a good deal. Ill be switching to the hempy buckets system.. or just plain soil... that fox farm ocean mix.

again.. thx for the info and good luck .

bongjockey i have a few questions about ur set up could u give me a pm? i wanted to ask al too but he's away i think

its definately a DWC system... with an ultrasonic fogger to stimulate the roots that are not submerged in the aerated tub of nute soup... right on, peep my grow when u get a chance. the mcguyver grow... hella home made and basic, but the shit does pump

My first grow was doing great. Until I added sugars (carboload). My roots turned slimy and started rotting. I couldnt understand other than high res temps. I was just sent this bundle of nutes/additives and I trusted that is what I should use.

I flushed the plants with hydrogen peroxide and water and they seemed to be doing great. SO i added more nutes and more carbo load. A few days later (despite the res temps now being ideal) I start to see more slime and rot. TIme to flush again. This time I'm passing on the sugars. If the slime and rot do not come back. That's proof enough for me despite any published studies on the matter. All i know is that figuring this crap out is a major pain in my ass.

p.s. It's good to see that yall use this place for learning and sharing as a place to rep your hoods and rip on each others "areas." Gotta have have a little ghetto drama.
