Thanks for the information.

Is there any way you could provide some of the information your friend gave you? I can find lots of studies that have been done on the efficacy of sugar additives to soil fertilizers, but they are all in relation to microbial enhancement only (e.g., growing plants in the arctic...

Quote from the first article: "There are rich communities of microbes growing in or around the roots of all plants growing in normal soil. Most do no harm to the plant, and some are very beneficial to it." The type of fungi that you speak of, mycorrhizal fungi, is a type of microbe. Another...

Definitely check the pH. Are you using municipal or reverse-osmosis filtered water? pH balancing the water doesn't remove the nasty ions that are in there. How moist is the soil? It looks like they might be suffering from overwatering. Also, there appear to be yellowing and grayish-wilting...

1400 W HPS in a 10'x10' (no larger than that) growing space for flowering (12 hrs on/12 hrs off) would be ideal. When the buds are growing, the plant responds to the lower-energy end of the UV spectrum (red light, which HPS give off) significantly more than the higher-energy end (blue light...

Plants don't absorb sugars through their root system. All the sugar they use they create via the process of photosynthesis (water + carbon dioxide --light--> sucrose + oxygen) (more specifically, 11 H2O + 12 CO2 --hv--> C12H22O11 + 12 O2) in their leaves, which is then transported to the roots...
