does molases really work..

lol. yeaa i grew nirvana's white widow twice. 1st time i didnt use molasses.. and the 2nd time i did.. adn the 2nd plant gave me a lil under 3 1/2 ounces dry.. adn the 1st 1 gave me 3.15... i didnt really notice a difference in the taste.. but the buds did seem to weigh more adn be a lil fatter. soo i would deff go for it. i use 1 tablespoon per gallon

Imma quote myself from another post.

"Here's what 1 tbs of my organic molasses contain:
Carbs: 4% (helps nute intake)
Potassium: 22% (don't we use P for flowering?)
Calcium: 10% (yeah, cannabis can matabolize calcium... thought so...)
Iron: 15% (that too! pretty good for yellowing leaves too if I recall...)
Magnesium: 8% (Oh yeah, a micronutrient rarely found in common ferts but my plant can def use that!)
Vitamin B6: 10% (Vitamin B6 is an essential metabolite in all organisms, and cannabis can synthetise that too. Good stuff!)

With that said, I think molasses are a perfect organic flowering nute for cannabis."

Molasses don't do shit for the plant its self. it works in the soil. I use the stuff the whole grow not just flower.

Yeah, I've heard molasses is good for beneficial soil microbes too. I would hesitate to use it very late into flower though; is anybody flushing w/ molasses into the last 2 weeks with Blackstrap?

I use 2 tbs per gallon every time I water from start of flower to finish.. I've really noticed a difference in size and taste.. not a huge difference in size but def helps put on a lil extra weight... With molasses I found my buds always have a sweetier and more pleasant taste..

i read up on the topic man, i ended up buying white sugar tho, its got almost the same chemical propterys as well as it dissolves prefectly with micerale grow, i mix 8 ml 15-30-15, and 8 ml white sugar into 8 L, check out my grow blog its explain

lol molasses comes from makeing sugar.

mmm waffles...

Makes me wonder if I add a half a Double Double per gallon of water, will my weed smell like an "In n Out Burger?"

Wouldn't General Hypdroponic's "FloraNectar", Technaflora's "Sugar Daddy" or Advanced Nutrients "Bud Candy" be much more effective?

exactly...

all of these if you look have a molasses base...with a few other things added in...give it a jacked up price.90% of the stuff in the "name brand" bloom ferts is molasses.why pay the price when black strap runs under 5 bucks a bottle

For the "few other things" and it's a lot more concentrated. You only need 2tsp per gallon rather than 2TBSP, so you would probably end up having to buy a couple bottles of molasses while one bottle of the other shit would be sufficient. So it will probably run you about the same price Also, its made for cannabis plants while molasses is made for waffles

I get 2 or 3 grows out of a bottle. It's not like you need it every time you water. light a few times in veg and a little more in flower. It's not a nute. if you use to much your soil will get hard. Then it's hard to get water to the roots.

i dont know hrdroponics,,i do soil,,thats why this is posted on the outdoor growing forum.....can i put this product in soil...i have 15 or so outside plants to expierment on..this year i doing molases,or sugar addictives,cause ive never used them and i hear so much that they work.....i dont care to much if it makes my weed heavier as its just me smoking it...im loking for something to makes it better, and taste is big with me also.

whats the difference from black strap and other brands?


im using Brer Rabbit Un-sulphured molasses is that not comparable to black strap ?

Mostley you just need no sulfur. I use grandmas brand. Has worked fine for years.

thats what i thought but wasnt sure...i can water with this shit every day right ?

You can, just be aware that molasses can possibly change the pH of the soil. I'm experiencing that to a small extent with yellowing of the leaves with brown speckling. My soil is probably slightly acidic.

Something I do is just use plain water sometime during the week when I water, no molasses. This helps flush it out a bit.

I only use it a few times in veg and a few times in flower. If you use to much it will turn your soil rock hard.

no bueno...alright ill mix it light then and then cram it at the end of flower
