I have used molasses, sweet, sweet leaf,and sugar daddy along with humboldt counties gravity.All work great follow dosages and reccomend time for application.The molasses I use 2 tbls per gallon just dont use it in aeroponics as its death.These all improve yield..Almost all can be used through out the entire cycle as they have carb and the plant uses these to produce resin.You can also add carbo load to help swell the resin glands.

I can't remember but i swear I heard something about brown sugar being used...Sounds like it would attract bugs though!!!! So I am not sure why I mention it???? Could be a bad idea though.... Maybe I mentioned it so if someone suggests it your more skeptical.
Plants like carbs, maybe some ground up pasta' (LOL)

Damn they are nice. I wouldnt worry too much about them fattening up, in a couple more weeks they will really put on the weight. Just keep doing what you are doing.

Flush the last week, 2 weeks is a little too much. I say this because I was flushing for the last 2 weeks and then the plant decided it wasnt done yet so I had to give one more round of nutes.

I wouldn't even worry about the molasses; I am sure it has some benefits but it has more hype about it. Ive done the molasses thing, didn't see a bit of difference. If you keep giving your plants the nutrition they are requiring at the time they are going to put on some serious weight in a couple more weeks. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Last thing you want to do is mix up a potion that your plants are not use to and then give them nutrient lock out at this stage of the game. Oh and did I mention NICE F'N PLANTS!!!! Enjoy that ganja!!

THANKS MAN!
YEAH I FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT THE MOLASSES THING! I'VE TRIED IT BEFORE BUT WASNT IMPRESSED WITH IT AT ALL. IT JUST MADE MY WATER HELLA FUNKY AND NASTY!
ANY THOUGHTS ABOUT CUTTING THE TOP NUGS FIRST AND KEEPING THE LOWER ONES ON TO LET THEM GET MORE LIGHT AND FATTEN UP?
AND HOW WOULD I FLUSH THEM IF I WAS PLANNING ON KEEPING THE BOTTOM ONES ON? I WOULDNT WANT TO CUT THE TOP ONES WITHOUT FLUSHING THEM FIRST. AND IF I FLUSH THEM THEN THE LOWER ONES WONT BE GETTING ANY NUTES TO KEEP GROWING YA KNOW?
ANY IDEAS?

What I did with mine was this. Some plants mature quicker top down, some bottom up; my last was bottom up. I flushed real good for a couple days then I cut the bottom nugs and then gave one more 1/2 strength dose to the cola for an extra week and then gave the cola a good flush for a couple days. I dont taste chemical at all, nice fluffy sativa buds, and i get wicked stoned.THANKS MAN!

I 2 stage harvest my gardens.I take the complete done large top colasa and the finished looking nuggs then I cut away some of the veg that has no buds to open up light for the lower small popcorn buds and give them 3 more weeks.I usually gain an extra 6-12 dry ozes from the second harvest

That is a good idea I didn't think of doing that with the little popcorn buds; I will try it this time around for sure.

I started molasses at flowering after doing a lot of research that suggested it was good... I mix 5 table spoons for 2 gallons- i boil it down tho so it isnt all thick and nasty- then use it for every watering- so far its working great! I use it in conjunction with a half dose of nutes- since i am only 1 week into use.. but next week i will double the nutes and add another teaspoon of molasses.
