molasses

I would like to know if molasses
is really good for growing?
do you give molasses only in the last week of flowering?
what does it do for the plant?
does it only a weight?
is it only good when growing organic? :thank you:

thanks for your help

Molasses is really good stuff, it will add flavour and taste to your buds. Use it near the end of flowering for best results, it will give your plants extra energy too.

Molasses is good for growing. Lots of people use it. Molasses is beneficial during the whole life of the plant. Molasses provides some minerals as well as small amounts of plant available carbohydrates. The main reason molasses is good is because the bulk of the carbohydrate and mineral content feeds the microbes witch feed your plant. Does it only add weight? If that's what you meant then NO it does more then that. It's mostly used when growing organic although I'm sure there are some who dabble with it in hydro or maybe passive hydro setups.

it also feeds the bad ones, so apply once youve added some trichoderm previously.
molasses is good to give energy to the plant to do essential process during flowering, but its also used in vegetative... you can also spray it on the leafs, its weird but bugs dont seem to like it.
molasses is great to activate the micro-life in the soil, so, use it when you start vegg and in middle vegg, then when you start flowering and when ending flowering. whenever you see the soil dry and not dark, mychorrizae and other beneficial microbes die when soil is too dry. also after flushin. whit this technique youll keep microlife going on and youll see more trichs at the end of flowering.

Use it. That is all.

I don't think you're really supposed to use it during middle flower, just very beginning and end. From what I understand it aids the uptake of nitrogen, so the plant could develop a deficiency if you're using it throughout the entire flower cycle.

no.. it aids the uptake on nitrogen in vegg stage, becouse nitrogen is translocated in mid flowering, if plant show a nitrogen overdose in this stage, its becouse youve fed too much nitrogen during the vegetative stage.
in simple words, molasses is bacteria food & also a great source of energy for the plants proceses.

from midflower i add molasse plus algea mix (Bio bizz) untill start off flush period, pumps up buds resin production and terpenten.

Molasse also rich in Kalium and Mg

Best Booster around

you can flush with molasses too, to keep the micro-life... living!, remember always apply molasses after or with the flush.. you will see a lot more trichs
salú!

I give that a try Mani, thanks fore the tip...

Make sure the molasses are unsulfured for optimal results.

Dry molasses...added to the soil...

I thought we could just put normal cooking molasses. Where do you buy dry molasses?

supermanlives · Oct 28, 2011

yes you can use regular molassis. i seen dry molasses at feed and grain stores before

dank.frank · Oct 28, 2011

Use either Nature's Guide or Stockade brands, others are not high enough sugar content or beet vs cane.

Turkey Killer- you can, but since molasses is for the micro herd, shouldn't it always be present, not applied at whim?

molasses @ 1 tablespoon per 5 gallon in hydro

trichrider · Nov 5, 2011
