molasses

i heard you can use molasses in your garden but when do you use it and how do you use it do you just start rubbing it on buds lol???

ahahahahaha no man, don't do that. lol you add a table spoon to a gallon of water when in flower. Some people use it all the way through.

You could rub it on the buds and tell the stupid kids its the stickiest ickiest shit around!!!!!

Or you could mix a little in the water til completely dissolved. It gives extra sugars, so either at flower, or as hardroc said all the way through, though prolly not on seedlings

****BE CAREFUL WITH THIS

Whatever KIND/BRAND you use make sure on the bottle somewhere is says UNSULPHURED or BLACK STRAP(Blackstrap is unsulphured)

Look for Grandma's Mollasses with the YELLOW label.

It contains good amounts of potassium, and sugars, carbs,
along with magnesium(will keep them a nice deep green as long as you keep Nit up instead of liming out in veg)

Other notables are Iron and Calcium.
My buddy uses this from about week 2-3(about 5 nodes) of veg right through flushing. If you aren't underwatering your plants you can use it every water.

You can also use Orange juice.
*****Must be 100% and CAN NOT say concentrate ANYWHERE under ingredients.

This also provides key nutrients and vitamins that the plant can actively use. Even if it says 100% juice, check the ingedients, if it says concentrate its been sulphured.

You can give a plant any liquid(just be cautious and ALWAYS PH balance it when your done)

Serving sizes: Rule of thumb, go by the label. 1 tablespoon per gal of molasses.

OJ is alittle different, use about 6.5oz to bring your water UP TO a gallon so you don't have 1 gallon + 8 oz(or u can use a whole gallon + 8 dude just has OCD)


Everything you add will do something different to the PH so don't PH your water until your completely finished.

you'll get the hang of it man, then if won't feel like and it'll start feeling like this

is this only for dirt or hydro too?

Ive heard of mollasses really wrecking a hydro's water pump when mixed with too many other organics because of their thickness and how they break down when exposed to air.
Theres a filter inside the pump and it might get gummy and clog it.

Plus if you leave mollasses itself sit after mixed it will start to break itself down(film on top of the water) I'd imagine after about 3 or 4 days of this it would get pretty nasty in the resivour.

I would be cautious and talk to a hydro store(theyre gonna say not to use it because of its mixture inconsistency blah blah blah. something we CONSUME is going to be more consistant than a fertilizer additive via FDA and alot of those have mollasses in them anyways.
If you get this run around redirect the question. ex: "But what would that do to your hydro system" until he answers it.


I would reccomend something like Botanicare's Sweet Berry or Sweet Citrus. You wont get as much of a nutrient benefit, but it'll pick ur sulfur and mag up alittle as well as provide carbs and sugars and is hydro system safe, im almost positive its organic too. (no it wont taste like berry or citrus) but it will increase the strength of the taste and smell if you use it all through flowering via the sulphur

id bet mollas would screw up a hydro pump. i use it in dirt. mothers should have a low nitrogen diet with carbs. the carbs from the molas. provides the little beasties in the soil something to eat there by collanizing the soil with beniff. bact. the plant also intakes the molas. making for better cloning.molas/ should be used all the way through 'as your buds are developing carbs help them . get bigger. its the original bud booster.several companys make molas. you should be able to find it at a local shop.fairly cheap too.
if your in hydro go with a good chem bud booster to keep your pumps and filters/equip safe.

I used it last year(grandmas) I found it cheapest at wal mart 2.50 i think vs grocery store 4.00. This is my 2nd yr of growing and shall use it again.
