Calcium, Magnesium, & Brer Rabbit

I used to use MG but for obvious reasons I've stopped. I'd used Lilly Miller's Alaskan Fish Fertilizer (5-1-1) in the past with fairly good results so I've switched back to that.

I used epsom salts with both ferts for a source of magnesium and I've often added molasses for carbs. I was looking at the molasses label and it contains both calcium and magnesium.

Can I get away with just using fish ferts and molasses? Does anyone know if there is enough of those minerals in molasses to supplement my ferts?

Not enough to be your only source.Keep usin your epsoms also.

Don't know where my reply post went but again, thanks D4L.

it doesn't cover everything. molasses is great for potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, carbs - sugars. use it with a compost and/or biologicals. molasses also acts as a catalyst. all the bacteria and microbes feed off it and multiply. the bacteria n what not keep your roots healthy helps break downs nutes for the plant to uptake. make sure you have like a base nutrient for bloom and veg. i use the botanicare line with molasses and compost.

The amounts are so small, and I only use molasses perhaps once/week and light doses at that, I don't even consider the minerals and stuff in there AFA any nutes or amendments I use.

Dolomite lime supply's my cal/mag, for the most part. Epsom Salts, if necessary.
