How is this implemented? I read somewhere it can increase yields, but how do you do it. Add it to the soil? or to my water?

Most folks add molasses (unsulfered) I like grandmas and add 1 tablespoon per gallon of water

some folks say use sugar, I wouldn't as it is refined and does not have much nutes to speak of (where molasses has a bunch)

there is a thread or 2 about this in the advanced forum you can check out, one guy there is using sucanat (might be spelled wrong) which is what they use to make molasses

get unsulphured blackstrap mollasses, 1 tbsp per gallon of water. your wasting your time with normal sugars and wasting your money with expensive additives that are basically just blackstrap mollasses anyway.

'Sweet' from botanicare is cheaper than most brands of black strap molasses.

I can't speak for molasses but I'll tell you sweet will be easier to work with and it works.

As far as there being a difference between the flavors, I haven't noticed anything. Currently i'm doing a side-by-side of berry and grape.
