I am currently using the full Fox Farm nutes (Big Bloom, Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, KangaRoots, Microbe Brew, and the three solubles; ChaChing, Open Sesame, and Beastie Bloomz) and Botanicare Cal/Mag Plus for my first grow (in soil).
I was looking to add a Carbo (molasses) for flowering. Most people mention one of four soltutions: (all prices taken from amazon.com)
1. Grandmothers Straight Black Strapped Molasses, original un-sulphured
- $9 for 32 oz ($0.28/oz) - thanks jPinkham
- No added microbes/nutes
- No added Flavor
2. Humoldts Honey ES LINK
- $20.75 for 32oz ($0.65/oz)
- .45-.25-1.8 Derived from: Pure Cane Molasses, Volcanic Ash, Yucca extract, Seaplant Extract, Quillaja saponaria, and Montmorillonite.
- Honey Flavored
3. Botanicare Sweet Raw LINK
- $22.95 for 32oz ($0.72/oz)
- Several Trace minerals, amino acids and Derived from: Magnesium Sulfate
- No added Flavor
4. Botanicare Strapped (for soil only) LINK
- $7.00 for 64oz ($0.11/oz)
- No added nutes
- No added flavor
I was wondering what peoples opinions are. If money isnt really an issue, which solution would you pick? Suprisingly, Grandmas Original Molasses isnt as price effective as some people lead others to believe.
Does anyone have experience with most or all the products above? Would love to hear your thoughts. I am not interested in added flavor, otherwise the Humboldts Honey ES would look the best on paper.
Thoughts? Opinions? got a better solution that doesnt involve a chemistry set?
Thanks!
