Fruit Juices and Molasses...

Ok guys so I wanted to run something by the more experienced organic growers...

I know that adding blackstrap molasses to a soil grow gives great results, it did for me and most seem to agree. But I have been looking around for other fructose sources that might be even better. I found two:

Pomegranate Molasses
Blueberry Juice Concentrate

The pomegranate molasses has a great flavor, is full of vitamins, aromatics and has lots of citric acid. I know citric acid is added to most commercial carbo-loaders and helps plant metabolism. So it seems thats not a bad choice.

The blueberry concentrate, well... thats a bit of wishful thinking, I just started blueberry seeds and hell, could it help the flavor? Ok thats the main question...

pomegranite molasses seems like a decent idea, be careful to check what it does to your ph before dumping it in your plants first, also I had never heard of it so I looked it up quick and it seems like that could get pretty expensive. As for the blueberry juice concentrate I have no idea, but I wouldn't expect it to actually flavor your buds with any discernable extra blueberry flavor.

Actually the pomegranate molasses is dirt cheap. It is marked up online as a 'specialty food' but its so common in cooking in the middle east that if you get it from an actual store, it's about $2 a bottle.

Your probably right about the flavoring, but I wonder about coloring? We know that adding food coloring to a cut-bud makes it that color but the results taste like crap. I was looking up organic food coloring, there is a blue coloring made from elderberry and maybe that could do the same thing without the taste? Ehh just a thought.

I only checked one place didn't go around comparing prices but the one i found was 3.49 for 4 oz., if your right about finding it in grocery stores cheaper that mght work, but pomegranite juice is very expensive in the grocery stores i go to, so i would imagine that the pom molasses would be as well. That is a very interesting point aout the coloring though, it just may work, if that is what you are looking for. I suppose if it tastes the same there's no reason not to enhance that beautiful purple.

Thats what I thought. Oh and the reason pomegranate molasses is so cheap is that it is in a form originally used to preserve it. Kind of like jam. That and pomegranate juice is kind of a health fad... Anyway, thanks for the input!
