Grandma's Molasses.....

You can use any molasses that is unsulphered. Make sure the label lists unsulphered molasses as the ONLY ingredient.

simply add 1 tsp per gallon and water it in on your straight water days when you are not feeding.

make sure you flush 2 weeks before harvesting otherwise it will taste like shit
ive heard that you can use molasses all the way through until you chop because its sugars rather than actual nutrients...soo i increased the molasses at the end to beefen up and crystalize the buds. haha i really hope it turns out ok!

so far it seems like it worked. i just trimmed my buds and brought some to a party last night. everyone said it tasted great..even though it hadnt even cured. i'll let u know for sure in about 2 weeks when its completely cured

must be an organic grower, nutes have all micro ingred! no need for molasses if you use Nutes.

The single biggest factor to the size of your buds is the light. You need to go with HID lights, such as a 400 - 600 watt HPS.

That will give you the big nugs you seek, young Jedi ;-)

nicee, i was going to go with Grandmas from the grocery store but i stumbled upon Earth Juice's molasses. I got the gallon size for only $14, i thought it was a good deal considering i'd probably have to buy two jars of Grandma's.
Heres the harvest just before trimming
