Cal Mag suppliment question

[IGOTQUESTIONS]

Do you think I can get away with using only molasses as a cal mag supplement at least for now?
I have cal mag coming but it is being shipped and won't be here until after Thanksgiving but I think one of my autos (Bloody Skunk auto) is in need of some.

 

[IGOTQUESTIONS]

Or would anyone suggest maybe epsom salt for a little extra mag?

I prolly shoulda just done six of all the same strain for my first grow. I tried planting one a week for 7 weeks now. Now I have 7 girls, 6 different strains, all 7 different ages int he grow cycle. And they each like something a little different. lol

It would be better than nothing, GQ (Love that handle!), but pick a quality molasses, they ain't all created equal Blackstrap or Br'er Rabbit would be good choices. I usually go 1 TPSP per gallon. Because of the sugars in it, don't feed more than twice a week.

If your Mg symptoms are obvious and you need a hold-over, you add it to your water... I'd go 2 TEASPOONS per gallon, and water to run off. 1 TSP per gallon makes a dandy foliar, just make sure your temps are cool and the leaves have time to dry before lights out
Between the two, molasses for the Ca and Epsom for the Mg, you should be golden.

I did the same my first grow! Not staggered time wise, but a mix of different strains in a very small space Trial by fire, Brother!
And grow Karma to ya!

Thanks. I have Grandmas molasses, and found the epsom salt in the back of a cupboard. Never knew I had the stuff. lol

I know my bad. Now I have to try to learn way to much way too fast. But at least I found this community of experienced growers. I feel better having a place to ask questions.

When you are able to get a actual supplement BotaniCare Cal-mag Plus is great... it also has 2.0 of N and trace elements of other nutes, also another good Molasses is Briar Rabbit Black-Strap Molasses.

I shall quote myself it is actually spelled Brer Rabbit BlackStrap Molasses.

Ok I will get some blackstrap for a backup and small addition to regular feeding. I am super scared of burning the girls that I go light on nutes and then dilute it and re ph and ppm.
I go about 650 to 700 ppm and 6.1 ph.
