Molassas experience?

Ive been doing a fair amount of reading on molassas mixed with water during the flowering cycle to boost resin production, I was hoping some of you had done this before and might offer some insight into what mixing ratios seem to work the best, any info would be appreciated, thanks:joint:

I use a 1/4 cup per gallon of water towards the end of the flowering stage(usually the last 2 weeks). I may feed them this mixture 2x during this period, the other times just watering with plain water to rinse the substrate and avoid attracting insects.

This grow was the first one i used molasses for. I added 1-2 tablespoons per gallon everytime i watered and fed the girls during flowering. Have been in flower for 7 weeks and am now in the last week of adding any food, sweets, or boosters to the girls.

The resluts so far are excellent as far as crystal production goes. This time around my crystal production was more abundant than my other tries at growing.

Goos luck with your grow. Btw at first i measured what i put in and then i did not measure how much molasses i was pouring from the bottle into the gallon of water so there is a great chance that i often poured more than 2 tablespoons and they were never overdosed. The girls were always steady and green during this phase. So this experience with molasses has concluded to me that molasses will always be a part of my plant's life from here on out. Hope this helps. Kathy

Yes it does increase the chances of attracting insects. I have been giving it to my plants for about two weeks now and they have been flowering for around 4 weeks now and they are doing great. I did it to my last grow and they did great.
