molasses + fox farm trio?

[9677846]

it seems like the ff recipe could use some carbs. has any body made this cocktail before?

i have and still do. i am currently using fox farms grow big big bloom and tiger bloom, feeding them big bloom thru foliar feed once a week and water with it once a week, using the other ones with my regular feed schedule. once a week i use 2 tablespoons per gallon. it works real well but i just recently read that using honey also works, which i will be trying next.

I do, i start about the 4th week of flower and mix molasses with the feed until the week before harvest

If you can use molasses and honey, has anyone tried pure maple syrup? I would think it would work the same only cost more.

thanks for responding fellows. hey fuzz i think i'm gonna follow your lead on that.

Honey is a probiotic, among other things.... it will kill your plants....

If by 2 tablespoons per gal you mean the molassas, i would cut back.... i dont use soil but i think the rate is more like 10 Ml/gal... do a search for it

This is a good thread. I used to use the mix but I stopped recently just to see if anything would change. I am curious what would be the proper mix then & is it really worth it?

I am currently using FF trio with Organic blackstrap molasses at 1 tsp per gal

 

[CANNATOPIA]

Yes but does any one know if it realy needs it & does it actually make a difference & how? Just curious.

It does make a difference. I use molasses at 1-2 tsp/gallon of nute solution.

Honey.......you may have read something about Honey ES. Its a molasses based product (no honey at all actually) made by Humboldt Nutrients.

naw i always used 1-2 tablespoons per gal. im also feeding with five gal buckets and 30 gal a watering tho. however when i did it indoors i also used the same ratio and i saw nothing but success. molasses is just simple sugars and the plant can easily turn them into carbs.

I use Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom with blackstrap and I have pretty good results. I'm not sure if the molasses itself is doing anytihng but all three together seems to work pretty well. 1 tsp BLACKSTRAP per 1 gallon water

Fox farm trio plus blackstrap molasses. best crop ever with them.

 

[sudsandbuds]

does anyone else know about using honey in place of molasses? i heard it does work well but if desertsquirrel is saying it'll kill my plants?

 

[Admiral Canna]

I really doubt it will kill yer plants. Haven't used it yet.....but I really doubt it. But I could be wrong. Going to research it now.

 

[Admiral Canna]

From a 2 minute search n read, seems to me that probiotics are great and will not kill yer plants.....

It was a thread here that i read honey will kill the girls.... I tried it for one watering and the drain holes had a funk growing in them.... Let me know if you try them though....

And i also read the molasses break down has significant mag and k. Something like 15 percent actual availability after break down. I don't know, i don't use molasses in my hydro grows, just trying to help. (think the thread was one of shroomdrs).

Hope that helps.
