I have to think about the plant nutrition concept, and ask a few more
questions, I expect. Maybe pull in some of my plant nutrition friends to
help me understand why - or when - an input of nutrients would be
detrimental.

If CT always pushes sugar increase in a plant, then there would be times the
CT would be detrimental, but we don't see this. I have not heard of anyone
dropping fruit, or blossoms, or having a problem with fruit set, just because
they spray CT. The interaction of CT with plant nutrition is more complex
than just elevating sugar.

CT does not pump sugar into the plant. What CT does is to improve
