Well first off I think using refined sugar isn't the best for your plant.Use molasses or something.And no I do not believe it makes more crystals.

Use molassess, or something like Sweet by Botanicare, I would never line the soil with sugar it scares me....but what do I know.

And never add molasses to an aero system or really a hydro system.It foams up and clogs sprayers and pumps.For no soil grows.Use sweet or sugar daddy or sweet leaf even carbo load will add weight and density

Listen to this man, like he said they make stuff for hydro, I use and endorse sweet.

Regular sugar can't pass through a plant's cell wall effectively. It just sits there...
I've never tried it on a crop, but it definately does not work on principal. Molasses is the way to go, man. I've had great success with it on tomatoes and my other plants as well. :)

Why would one use it, at all? Does it make the smoke taste sweet? Don't think I'd like that, myself.

Well, I don't know if it makes any difference in the bouquet of the smoke, but if done right, it can fatten your tomatoes and buds. Basically, if you know what your doing, you can use this method to give your plants a little all natural boost.

Oh, if it's a nute advantage, my interest is piqued

Using molasses on hydro isn't a good idea. Molasses feeds the microbial life of soil and the plant doesn't take up any of it. All you would be doing is getting your system dirty and possibly fuck it up.
