All I know is its got calcium magnesium carbohydrates and iron and a few other things can't think of em there all water soluble so why don't the roots uptake these nutrients that are readily available?

so do nutrients.. what's your point?
he hasent got one, its a question, hes saying if its got the same as nutes, why wont the roots uptake it.

wont cannazym do the same job tho,? exept that turns old roots and stuff into sugers, the mollases is sugers,. so be same thing no?

point is unless you are growing organic and have micro organisms living within the rhizosphere using molasses is pointless when combined with synthetic nutes

I dont combine it I use it 2 weeks from harvest as it has a lot less salts than normal nutes. So after pre harvest flush just feed with mol lasses and it tastes better and I've heard its suppose to help thc production?

Because after flushing all the excess salts out you dont want to starve your plants in the last weeks of its life but u don't want to fill it with salts and other nasties so mollasses is perfect;-)

Another flushing myth believer. Lol
Feed your plants properly and you don't need to flush

and even if you do believe in flushing you could flush coco in 2-3 days.
how much would they possibly "starve"

used to use molasses back when using soil, the results were marginal at most
did a side by side and no one could tell a difference

if your micro herd is already healthy it will have little to no effect from my understanding
and if you read why people add molasses it is to assist the microbial activity - no microbes - no point in my book



at the moment running breeders boutique lineup

blue pit
dog kush
southern charm

have just taken delivery of some other interesting beans.

starfighter F2 and chemberry so am contemplating starting a few of these.

used to use coco with airpots and canna lineup with a 400w throughout
thought try something different this time, using rhizopots (fabric) with GHE flora series and 600w for flower.
the flora is a 3 part system, but if you use lucas formula you can just use micro and bloom






Yeh it would be nice to hear the truth about mollasses lol so anyway vice what u growing an what setup?

Hmm interesting selection there think I'm gonna go with blue dream and chemdawg next and try n clone em n that. Think I'm gonna get some of these air pots aswell . Sticking with cannabis though its nice n simple. Have any of you used plant magic nutrients?

the chemberry is a chem d (#4 think) x true blueberry
should hopefully be quite special

the air pots are amazing, they can be quite messy though

blue dream is definitely on the hit list, just waiting for a promo to start
also got some Sunshine Daydream crosses one with NL and another with JHerer

read good reviews about PM - not used it though.

canna is a piece of piss and performs well, just felt like a change, if it doesn't work out will go back to them.
