I want to start adding molasses to the nute mix for my plants but I am wondering whether or not the molasses will clog up my drip lines?? I have the blackstrap thick shit but read it dilutes completely in hot water... My drippers are 2/lph netafim stakes.

Anybody tried molasses through their drippers?

No it didn't, I diluted then added it to the res was also running drip clean.

It does however go bad mixed in with your nutes after a few days. Creates a mess...

Mo is such a valuble additive for aromatics. I fear you'll be clogged. I would hand water the Mo to avoid rez problems and clogs. Even better, brew a simple Aerated Compost Tea-just water, Earth Worm Castings, and MO. Hand water with that every 7-10 days. Don't let it return to the rez, let it drain to waste. Good luck. -granger
