injecting plants with sugar?

Has anybody ever tried injecting sugar directly into the stem? I have been doing it with a white widow plant that was doing terrible. After 5 days she looks amazing compared to before. I just don't have any evidence to prove it's work or even if it's just my imagination. Does anybody have a side by side or something to show the effects? Would we be capable of growing with no light at all doing something like this? I'm not just injecting from time to time its a constant drip. She didn't even droop after shoving a thick needle most of the way through her stem.

Will get a better picture of syringe or whatever tomorrow when lights come back on.

I guess the plants roots aren't capable of obsorbing simple sugars but the stem is. I have a needle with water and sugar in it and have it directly in the center of a topped plant. The needle is for food, like donuts and stuff. Would like to try one for insulin or something. The one I am using has multiple holes in the needle and has a constant drip directly into the stem, one hole in the needle is about halfway down the stem. The other hole is probably getting really close to the root system.

I know for a fact chugging a beer up ur ass gets you fucked. I watched some chick do it at a party lol. I gaurantee a little bit of some pure liquor would get you drunk just not sure what that would actaully do to your body.

Can we see pics of the IV fed plant? What does the plant do with the sugar? It's not an experiment if you didn't have a theory...

"Through the stomach". That site is a joke.

Plants absorb nutrients and water through their roots, but photosynthesis — the process by which plants create their fuel — occurs in the leaves. Therefore, plants need to get fluids and nutrients from the ground up through their stems to their parts that are above ground level.

Sap is the mix of water and minerals that move through the xylem. Carbohydrates move through the phloem. There are several different "modes of transportation" through the xylem and phloem; their main function is to keep all cells of the plant hydrated and nourished.

Inside the cells of the root, there is a higher concentration of minerals than there is in the soil surrounding the plant. This creates root pressure, which forces water up out of the root through the xylem as more water and minerals are "pulled" into the root from the soil. This force results in guttation, which is the formation of tiny droplets on the ends of leaves or grass early in the morning.
