Sugar Balls...

[Stond_Face]

Does anybody know what causes these little sugar globs to form, please? They appear maybe 30% of the time. I think they are cool. But, i have no idea why they form.

Thanks,

We were discussing these a few weeks ago & the term flys past like a UFO.
I forget what it’s called at this time.

Guttation or something like that.

Thanks MJ Passion...
Wikipedia has a useful page on Guttation.

They are from feeding single molecule carbohydrates to your medium, when you medium has no sugar eating bacteria. They are not plant sugars.

Thats your "20% yield increase, increased trichomes" of these hydroponic crook products.

Could you please repeat that more slowly so I could understand?

Are you saying that these are sugars present in the media that are carried through the plant by transpiration?

The grow is 100% coco. The only stuff in the rez is MaxiGrow and SM-90. Here would the sugars come from?

If i could increase trichome production 20%, we may not see the cellulose any more...LOL
