hi folks.

my plants are 30. day of vegging and i am pretty sure that 3 of my plants shows mg deficieny.
i grow organic sytle.
i use coco perlite peatmoss worm casts and 2 tbsp dolomite for per gallon.
i use biobizz grow for vegging with piranha,tarantula,voodoo,carboload,sensizyme from advanced nutrients and superthrive.

i cant find calmag,blackstrap molasses or something so the where i live.

i read that some users use molassess for mg deficency.

i could find here " carob molassess " .

please look at the analyze :

mineral Analysis Results (mg / kg)
amount of dry substance is soluble in water (mg / kg): 68
Sodium (mg / kg): 203
Potassium (mg / kg): 7040
Zinc (mg / kg): 10
Calcium (mg / kg): 1234
Iron (mg / kg): 7.6
Phosphorus (mg / kg): 547
Manganese (mg / kg): 3
Magnesium (mg / kg): 500
Copper (mg / kg): 0.8

PS: 1 kg = 2,205 pound , 1 ml = 0,034 ounce
can i use that molassess instead of epsom salts or calmag ?

there are some other minerals in this mollassess such as Phosphorus,Potassium and sodium. are they harmful for plants ?

and i dont know whether the benefical microbes ( from worm casts,voodoo,piranha and tarantula ) in soil can breaKDOWN this mollassess so that my plants could easily take necessary minerals.
help me please

thanks.

usually people use the molasses during flower to plump up the buds, the quickest way to correct a mg def is to use epsom salts it works fast and is easy to use and find. plus u can use it as a foliar feed.

dolomite limestone alos cotains large amounts of mg add it to ur grow mix

epsom salt for MG def, never heard of anyone using molasses for it...Molasses is found in your local supermarket right in between king Syrup and Aunt Jaimama Syrup

If you look at nutritional ingredients of your molasses, its very low in mag. You would have to overload all the other nutrients to get much benefit from the mag. If your trying to add mag, you are way better off just using epson salt/Magnesium sulfate so it balances the nutrients you already have. Epson salt is just as easy to get from most large grocery stores with a pharmacy dept. Usually, next to the bubble bath or other bath products. Very little goes a long ways with epson salt. 1/2 tsp per gallon every 3 weeks is all you should need.

I believe it usually begins in the older leaves. So more on the bottom of the plant and working its way up. You sure its a mag. problem? Do you know what's causing your mg deficiency? Does your nutes lack mg? Or is it because of lock out from some other problems? Hard water is one of the bigger problems for lack of mg.

For my feeding schedule, I use 1/2 tsp every 3 weeks.

thanks bro.

i saw middle and lower leaves have that problem,too.

i dont know what caused mg deficecny.i use biobizz grow and it's organic nute and derivered from molassess.

i sprayed leaves with 1 percent mg sulphate and i watered the plant 1/2 tsp epsom salt in 5 litre water.

We will see if it is mg deficiency.

if it is not mg deficiency, i hope epsom salt wont hurt my plant.
