Yes it does. But after a while they get filled with plaque and die from diabetes and clogged arteries

Anyway guys n gals... I was really trying to get a positive conversation going here. So... moving on. Anyone got anything constructive to say that isn’t wrapped in bs?

I used NPK Raw Cane Molasses towards the end of the cycle. Harley Smith talked about it upping the brix, but I don't think it did much.

Do you have to milk a humming bird to get it? Not sure I would be comfortable with that

I’ve noticed it has helped in trichome production. I have also noticed it does make it slightly “sweeter” in flavor. And no there’s no milking involved. Lol.

That's good. Unless it was a mutually acceptable agreement between said humming bird and the milker of course

Whenever I hear "cane molasses" I think of Cain Velasquez.

Any pics of the same clones you ran with and without the sweet, sweet nectar?

But shouldn't the milkers still obtain permission?

I think consent would still be key

Unless you're a purely organic grower, you probably are feeding your plant Mag-sulfate already. Tons of people do feed there plants mag-sulfate via sweeteners, like Botanicare Raw. I bypass Botanicare and just go straight to the Mag-sulfate. You're plant doesn't uptake molasses, the molasses is to feed the beneficials in your rootzone - assuming you're not trying to run a sterile root zone. If you're trying to keep the root zone sterile by all means avoid molasses. If you're trying to keep the root zone sterile, I'd avoid hummingbird nectar too, which is nothing more than sugar water with red dye added to attract hummingbirds. Furthermore, the sugar water (aka hummingbird nectar) you're adding to your feeding functions much like molasses - the sugars feed the benes in the rootzone, not the plant. You could replace the hummingbird nectar with ~tsp of sugar per gallon - I'd use dark brown sugar myself - or do what I do and just use molasses. Ironically the molasses you're so against functions like the sugar water you've discovered. Molasses has the added benefit of providing micronutrients.
So yeah, you didn't discover some new awesome sweetening agent, but thanks for sharing. On the plus side, I guess you stumbled onto the fact that feeding the beneficials in your rootzone can help things out.

Hummingbird nectar??? How exactly are you getting this? Store bought I presume? My gf likes to make it and we have 4 feeders. Its water boiled with sugar. We don't add dye cause wtf for? The hummingbirds don't care what color it is. You say fuck molasses but will use this instead. I would just walk this one back and start doing a little more reading bro. You want a fruity strain, get a fruity strain.
