Molasses Question

[medicineman421]

Hi im in about week 3-4 of flowering everything is looking great, girls are very healthy as far as i can tell...i was just wondering about supplementing molasses w feedings when i am not using nutes (every other watering) i have read the benefits and think i will use 5 mL/gal just wondering how often i should give it to em? Thank You

I use 1 teaspoon per gallon every other watering up until 1 week before harvest. Works better if your total organic but still good if not too.

if you use it like that its fine. in fact you can use it in higher dosage, but observe your plants well. the sugar makes the soil more acid (through gas exchange of roots w. soil) and your ph goes down.
with an eye on the ph, molasses are powerful.

good luck

more never means better imho..and i am already dealing w runoff around 6...just looking for what others are doing and results are you using it? What do you mean by higher doses 10 mL/gallon seems like the most i would want to use but this is all hypothetical at the moment

i used approx. 1 tablespoon per gallon (once a week, therefore no other ferts then) in an all organic setup throughout flower. that was max. in my opinion. my ph of tap is around 8.

better start with less and see how they like it/how your drain is affected.

with 1 teaspoon you are on the safe side..

hmm.. this is not really a smart statement, no? its true that when it comes to ferts less is very often more.
but your conclusion just doesnt seem right..

ahoi

i used 1 tbl/gal with great result. and i was able to get my PH to around 7 and asll went well. gl

While molasses does lower ph if you're running organics you don't need to be concerned. I find that with dolomite lime in your soil and organics you don't need to be concerned with the ph within 1-1 1/2 points, the organics will take care of it.
Just another reason to go organic.
