New Grower Kat's first time

As i mentioned earlier and Stylez, start with 1/4 strength nutes.

Best to start slowly and see how much they can take before you get signs of nute burn.
Once you have burned the leaves by too much nutrient, there is no going back for those affected leaves.

Less is more here!

@ Stylez, No, not just nutes, It's a mix of 1/4 tsp 20-20-20, 1/4 tsp unsulfered Molasses and 1/8 cup weak chamomile tea in a 2 liter bottle of ph'd water. I thank all of you wonderful people who have given me a like on my posts!!! :head:
You ROCK!!!

... and 1/8 cup weak chamomile tea ...

what's that for?

 

[alley_walker]

Yes, 1/4 nutes.. Save the molasses for the last 2 weeks, no need for carbs this early. Since you nuted it, Let it go maybe 10 days before feeding it again. But after that, keep the feeding schedule regular and weekly.

Supposed to be beneficial for healthy plant and root growth.

I do not recommend using synthetic chemical fertilizers, but I would be remiss not to mention that molasses is also a chelating agent, which means that it can 'help' convert 'some' chemical nutrients into a form that�s 'more' easily available for organisms and plants to use. Taken from The Soil Guy's Blog. I am using Miracle Gro, it being a chemical fertilizer, thought it was wise to use the molasses during it's entire growth. Am I wrong?

She is 2 weeks old today!!! How's she looking?

I'd ditch the miracle gro, it's really crap for growing cannabis. Can you post a link up about molasses being a chelating agent? I'm a skeptical pig and would like to read up on that.

Yeah id agree, ditch the miracle grow, its got farr too much feed in it for autos and for photos its a pain in the butt to control the feed levels, as MG has it in the soil and is water activated, hence everytime you water, more feed gets released.
Personally i found it to be ok if you understand the theory on how it feeds but i am using BioBizz Mediim mix and its really really good.
Make all the other 'gardening multi purpous composts' look amateur.

 

[SlinkyKat]

Sorry, guys, but am stuck with what I could get and MG was it. I'm a poor soul and can't afford the expensive stuff. If I could have, I'd have gotten an organic product. I have to use the MG. So, My question still stands, should I use the molasses throughout the grow or stop using it until flowering? Thanks for the great feed back!!! When I can afford it, I'll get a better nute.
