Live Stoner Chat Using Molasses

[Dabber]

I may be wrong but I thought most of these finishers have molasses in them. I can tell you that I just harvested and my HOOT burns really clean and smooth I never flushed I just used molasses every watering from week 5 of flower to the next to last watering. I'm still learning so I could be wrong

The Other Benefits of Molasses
In addition to improving the base quality of the soil, using molasses to irrigate your crops can also help prevent the build-up of pathogens that will potentially harm your plants, as well are reduce salt build up that can cause nutritional problems. Molasses contains a good amount of macro- and micro-nutrients, all of which are essential to cannabis health to one degree or another. As both macro- and micro-nutrients are not required in huge amounts, it can sometimes be quite hard to diagnose a deficiency. By regularly adding molasses to your grow you can ensure your cannabis has everything it needs.

heres the link I use it in teas and also using during flower solo when I water plants to help with salt build up

How much when your using it on just water days, do you mix with your water, thats when I apply it. Some people say 2 table spoons per gallon. I think might be to much.

It' also good to give it some during Veg. I do, got to feed those macro and microbes to the soil

Yeah, that's pretty much what I said, prepping and teas. I've fed regularly as well, that's how I was taught, but grows over years have shown a reduced yield when used as a regular, every feed, plant supplement. It's the calcium in molasses that binds salts in the soil making them available for microbes to do their thing.

I use molasses every fall for prepping the garden beds for the following spring, I just don't water with it, there are better options.

Was also taught pissing on your plant was "good" for them.... that was the early 80s... what a fun time to start learning to grow!

Knew a guy who decided to piss in a bottle, then pour it in his plants, it was a 4x4 tent, it smell like a Porta Potty in his tent

Yup... that's what happens when all learning is done underground and hidden...

Molasses is good in a pinch for Ca and K, also has a touch of Fe in it, along with some other minors. I wouldn't use it as a steady thing, mostly to give teas a jump start. If you use it, make sure it's unsulphured. Black Strap and Brer Rabbit are good ones.

Understanding Molasses - It is a Micro food for organic growing ,-- and yes it works -- I use it at 1/2 ml a litre or 2 ml a gallon Don't treat it as a nutrient , but a feed for the soil . The microbes will break the sugar down for plants to use , I use maybe once every 2 to 3 weeks if I remember . it is not a magic potion but a input to making healthy soil .

 

[Dabber]

I did notice that my buds got more sugar on them it seemed. I use it in my teas early on and then use it the last weeks of flower to help reduce the salt build up if any because I don't flush IMO flushing is for a toilet LOL

I use molasis from start to finish it helps the plants uptake n utilize the neutrients you feed them .I use it at the start of my flush to help use up last remaining neuts n only stop using it the last week of flush. Im no expert but i get a nice white ash joints that burn cool n taste great.
