Hey bro'!... good on the molasses;it has a decent amount of Ca, Mg, and even K with small amounts of other metal/minerals, plus it's a chelating agent! I did some research (read the back label- LOL!) on this and found that Brer Rabbit brand has a fair amount more good stuff in it than Grandma's...(but the latter tastes better... one for me, the other for the girls!)...*** Auto's are very pissy, and variably so, about nute' concentrations... LOL!-_you should be kinda scared, as they react poorly, and there's no time for recovery during veg'ing...No suffering or they'll pay you in kind with runts like I've had!... diff's between strains is significant...I learned the hard way, and stunted mine on my first ever auto grow,... Now, I'm technically on my third, dovetailing from the previous grows,... outdoors is a very different animal (light hours are critical), but that's another story altogether,... point is, I'm still learnin' too, mate! I've got a couple biology degrees too, so this helps with principles and technical shit, but the skill is still in the grow particulars, and the ol' green thumb factor! *** the girls look stout, RR, so cheers to that so far,..! :High 5: When feeding, cut the recommended dose to 1/4 to 1/2,... again, I'm not familiar with WG's soil, so I'd play it safe and try 1/4 strength plus foliar, and see,... auto's can handle slightly richer soil when they mature some, and one can always dial up the nutes, but you can't take 'm back, so ease into things... Oh! Do you have a water spreader, or wetting agent? Know what I'm talking about..? I don't like to assume, either way,...if your not familiar, this stuff is a neutral substance (surfactant) that takes the surface tension out of the water or soln. of what you're spraying, so that it coats evenly, rather than beads,... more surface area covered= more absorbed by the plant! It's great for anything you spray, nutes, bug killer, stubborn soils that absorb poorly, this sort of thing; foliar is nice in the beginning because it won't damage the roots themselves if the soln. is too strong, but later, I skip this unless they need emergency supp's (supplements) like Ca-Mg, etc.,... 'crobe brew's go to the soil, but Swampy has good success just slopping it all over! Most important with foliar, is to make sure it has a chance to dry, slowly is best, but should be gone by lights-out to avoid mold issues; I'm seeing more and more folks who bubble their nutes, and swear by it... I haven't so I can't say either way, but there's something to it, or the fine growers here who do wouldn't bother,... ditto for the teas... a small aquarium air pump and diffuser stone is all that's needed.... So, lets see what the Swampbro' say! he's got much more experience with the teas and such... when you get a chance, read through his grows, and you'll see why he's unique here in his skills with this!...
check later RR!
