I have some outdoor plants in 1 1/2 gallon pots and was thinking i might give them some molassas to maybe help them get denser and more trich on the flowers.

would this work? also my plants will get to finish flowering all the way the end of october and my 3 sativas all the way to november cuz my city dont get cold in the winter. :D :jump:

and I wanted to get them to bulk up some more. :thank you: for ur info.
I have the blackstrap molassas. one with the rabbit on the bottle.

A few things:

DON'T mix the molasses into your water ahead of time. It will start smelling VERY BAD. Mix it up right before you use it.

I no longer add molasses every watering. It just builds up in the soil, and when you flush your runoff will be brown. Not that it will hurt anything, but it's just a waste. Now, I add molasses to my regular watering maybe twice during veg and 2 or 3 times during flower.

Keep in mind that Braer (sp?) rabbit molasses has a decent amount of sodium (more then grandma's and others) plus the Ca:Mg ratio is off with more Mg than Ca. In grandmas its 2:1 like it should be, with more of each. Thats why I use grandmas but I know there is better stuff out there with more iron, minerals, and even less sodium.

I used to be a religious molasses user but after doing a run without it I dont think it is really necessary to mix with every watering or anything like that. I still use it but not the same way, now I strictly use it only in my organic teas, more for a food source for microbes rather than a carb source for the plant. The organic forum has some good threads on the use of molasses.
