I am having trouble with my new plants, they wont seem to rise out of the soil, its only been 24 hours though, so im not to worried yet. But. i read somewhere that boiling potatoes in water and letting the water cool, makes the water full of Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potassium. Does anyone know anything about this. Im willing to do whatever it takes to make my baby girls Grow. Also, i forgot to add. I am watering them with 2 liters of water mixed with 1 1/2 tps. of molasses. If anyone could enlighten in wether this is good or not, or should i go wth the potato water. This is a complete ghetto job, i probably wont be able to buy my own Nutes.

I wouldn't add molasses till the bud's appear. The molasses fatten's up the bud....I don't give the babies shit till the're ready. I'm not an expert....Fellow RIU'er CannaSeur showed me a book showing the DRASTIC difference between molasses and none...Yow what a difference. It doesn't even look like the same weed................FAT BUD'S a poppin..:)

What should i feed them then, at this stage, and will the fact that ive already watered with the molasses water hurt them at all?

i dont think so... I'd say its fine... But yah I'd still like to know if the potato thing works cause if it does, I'm switching from my mg to potato water... and the water I am using for mixing is like bottled water cause i heard that tap water is bad for them cause of chlorine... but I was just wondering would that fish curing stuff be good for plants too cause i know it taked the chlorine out of the water, but would it be safe for my marijuana plants...

Well, i read that stuff in a DIY book i have at myself, supposedly it has LOTS of NPK nutes. if u used the boiled water. And the fact that the water is boiled would also purify it. i dont want to do it Until im sure though. Anyone else know anything about this?? i googled it, didnt come up with much. But i have heard of growing flowers out of old potatoes. so i dunno.

Watch the fish shit...A lot of tank water treatment additives has algaeside....Some info say's the reverse osmosis water sold at walmart is good..Me I've not tried it...I just let my water sit (covered, no bug larva) for two day's........it's cheap
