Please answer these questions:
How many table spoons of molasses per gallon do you add?
How old is your plant?
Did the problem start at the bottom leaves or at the top leaves?
Is the molasses unsulfured?

Not table spoon, actually use only 1 teaspoon per gallon.
How old is your plant?
Got her has a clone, veg for 3 weeks, 9 days flower. So about 30-35 days old.
Did the problem start at the bottom leaves or at the top leaves?
I first noticed it on lower leaves, but has started on a few upper leaves like in the photo.
Is the molasses unsulfured?
UH OH! yes it is unsulfured molasses. Would this be a bad thing?
I kinda ruled the molasses out though, Since my Thunderhaze and OG Kush on the other hand love the water mixture and respond very well to it. THANKS

Well, then this is either a boron or a sulfur deficiency.
What you'll want to do is to raise the molasses concentration. I add 2 tablespoons/ gallon. This will fix the problem nicely. If in a week the problem doesn't go away, add epsom salts and boric acid (both 1 teaspoon/gal)
Usually unsulfured molasses has less sulfur, so the posibility of sulfur def is a bit higher.

i use 2 tablespoons per gallon, works like a charm
Thanks, Ill give that a try. Should I do that next feeding? Even thought I did Last feeding. Don't want to over do it.
Thanks! I read that when introducing the molasses to
, I should do it in moderation and not over do it. And by being to careful, I suppose I under did it.

Yeah, forgot to mention. Use molasses every watering.
The only way you can actually overdo it with molasses is to add too much at once (over 2 tablespoons/gall), because that might attract bugs and pests or might cause a mold or fungus to grow in the dish under the pot.

ya i use it every watering, never had any problems with it, it acts as a carbohydrate and fattens them bitch's up, just like a bodybuilder would eat lots of carbs to gain mass. you can also try carb load from advanced nutrients but moll is alot cheaper and I think it works just as well
Thanks again, Ill be watering today since my last water was 3 days ago.
Makes sense, I was just to scared of pest intruding! Ill start to use it every watering now and see if i notice a difference. Thanks for you help, ill keep you guys updated!

if you notice any pests, use neem oil, completely natural and can be used up until about 2 weeks before harvesting...good luck bro

do you have fresh air coming into your room or supplemental co2? alot of people don't think about that aspect of growing. Plants will slow down growth alot without it. and in turn not use all the food being fed to them which in turn usually results in nute burn...
Already have some stocked in my arsenal for the little bastards. No bugs are getting near my
Yes the room does get fresh air, but the co2 NO. No of some good DIY articles. Or am I going to have to use the search this time

Get a 1l container with a large water to air surface (jar - yes, bottle - no), fill it 3/4 with water, add 1 tbs dry yeast, 2 tbs sugar. Mix well. Be careful, in time the solution tends to build up a foam that can literally destroy your plant, so be careful and put the container behind the fan or simply under the plant. Change the mix every 2-4 weeks.Yes the room does get fresh air, but the co2 NO. No of some good DIY articles. Or am I going to have to use the search this time
What's wrong with a search? All I've ever learned was by searching or reading on forums or in books.
Nothing is wrong with searching at all. In fact to be honest, Everything I post I still search about. I just like to cross reference the two. Besides, its a forum and its refreshing to know that whenever you come about a problem, your
growing peers are there to help out. Instead of time and time again posting threads and not receiving and responses. Which is why all the responses thus far are very much appreciated. Thanks again
