Overwatering is more commonly an issue of frequency, not amount of water.

Good to know, my worries are put to rest.

I wanted to upload some new pics earlier but my netbook wasn't having it. They should be coming later on today. Also, I found some molasses in my cabinets and was thinking of using it when I feed/water. It's Brer Rabbit unsulphured molasses but its not blackstrap, is it still usable or do I need the blackstrap?
 
I missed a couple of your previous questions but you should be fine with the molasses if its unsulfured.

Also attitude/nirvana sounds like a great idea, thats the combo I use if I don't get the directly from nirvana. I actually have 10 "regular" white widow seeds waiting to be popped right now! I've heard nothing but great things about nirvanas white widow and PPP so I say go for it!!!

So far I'm 2/2 with fem seeds and 1 was from nirvana "wonderwoman" which is also a really bomb strain :)
So 100% germ rate and 100% female ratio!!
 
Can't argue with 100% germ rate and females. Looks like I'll be going with Nirvana. I'll probably order them when I flip to 12/12 so while that first batch is flowering I can veg the Nirvana beans. Quite excited now!!!
 
I've read to use anywhere from 1-4 tbsp per gallon of water. Some folks use it every watering, others only use it during flowering. Since I'm close to making the flip to 12/12 I'm going to hold off until I do so and start with 1 tbsp between nute feedings. It sounds right in my head but I'm still doing research into it to make sure.

I'm excited for you :) Nirvanas beans are the shit!! I'm actually bouncing ideas in my head for a little micro grow with my white widow that I dieing to pop haha.. We will see once these next few plants are harvested!!

Lmk what you decide to order, I would definitely stick with your choices though.

Thats exactly how I do it. In flowering @ 1 tablespoon once a week or so when I'm flushing.

I catch all of my extra water in trays and then feed it to my house plants during the winter and the garden during the spring + summer no waste at all.

good idea.
and as far as how much molasses to use, well you guys have it right. i used 1 tablespoon in veg 1 time cuz it takes at least 2 weeks for it to fully break down in the soil and become beneficial so start in veg so it is in use in flower. when in flower i would use it every other plain water. i was on a feed, water,feed, water,feed.ect schedule. so every other plan water i would ad molasses as well at only 2 tbsp. i would not go up to 4 that is a bit high, to much can attract ants ive never really noticed a huge difference in bud size,smell or taste or anything but all ive read about using it says it works. its kinda like using bud candy, or bud fattener nutes just way cheaper. most the store bought nutes that are theri to help fatten, make smell better and look better are like 98 percent molasses, if you read the labels it is the first ingredient and on some the only one. some of the nutes even taste like molases.

That's a good idea. I don't have any indoor plants atm and I'm in the process of planning a small garden for the spring.

im currently using molasses. its the cheapest kill, ya dig?

Yea, very cheap so it's like 'why not'.

micro.grower said:
yeah.. def go for some molasses... itmade a noticable dif in my first plant i grew...
Click to expand...

Is it more of a difference in growth or taste? I'm still kind of confused as to what it actually does. I know it's a carb source and carbs provide energy, so is it like an 'energy drink' for mj?

Going to be posting pics after this, sorry its taking so long.
 
Update
Here's the update that I've been promising for a couple of days :wall: Each set is 30 and 23 days from seed, respectively.

Man, I think I just got here in time to finish this grow out with the rest of ya'll! Keep up the good work.....
 
Looking great SD, I'm not sure what the molasses does but it definitely works haha and my girls have always loved it! I might do a side by side comparison just for shits and giggles in the future. We will see.
