Ok, we have been curing the molasses flushed harvest for over a month now. The flush was done with a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses per gallon of water for the last two weeks.
We tested the results against jars from our last two harvests. It seems adding molasses to a DWC flush won't make much difference. No one could taste the difference.
Adding molasses to your flush might be something to do when growing in soil, but it won't help your DWC grow. It was worth a try and did not add a negative aspect to my harvest.

Rumple, this info is awesome. I'm planning out my first grow now and trying to read everything I can. This thread was well worth the 30 minutes. Thanks bro!

"Not all pot growers are growing for hippies going to a Fish concert."
Excuse me, but it's "Phish", and if you actually listened to their music and knew how incredibly talented they are to write orchestral styled music in a four man band format, not to mention their improvisational skills, you would know that the stigmatism of only "Hippies" appreciating Phish's talent is a long gone one. Most phans I see at shows are business men on wall street getting their kicks with some good tunes and great extra curricular activities for a weekend. I'm a medical patient, and I happen to be a musician and have a high appreciation for their music, does this automatically label me as a wookie with no shoes begging on my knees for a hit of acid? No, it just means I have good taste and a higher IQ.

Other than that, I loved your post. I use the same method only with paper towels in my large brown bags, but I replace them often due to the amount of moisture they absorb. I will have to try your method of shredding lunch bags the next time around, seems it may prove to be less work. Keep on growing and check out my post if you have time! I'm doing my first grow completely on my own and could use some advice, and it seems like you know you're way around the garden. Thanks again for a great post! Sorry I became so hastily offended about your Phish comment, they're very near and dear to me.

Sorry for the type-o. And I'm sure you can find few republicans that love the Grateful Dead as well. But just Google image search "Phish fan" and you will see how the stereotype got started. And you can't say that a Phish concert is not chocked full of hippies. Just humor and not to be take seriously at all.

Remember, just humor about the Phish thing, not a hater at all.
I checked out your grow, and you are not messing around your first time up to bat! That is a lot of light and a lot of cash spent on lights. You will do just fine from the looks of things. I have been testing LED lights for a few manufacturers, just not the ones you use (Cammie of hydro grow LED thinks I am the antichrist). Page me if you want to read some of the reviews and see pictures of the results.
Thanks for the kind words.
Peace, R.

Those are some awesome pictures Rumple. I wont argue that there are some nasty Phish kids out there, no doubt. Thanks for checking out my grow, how do I "page" you? I am really new to this site and forum thing and have mainly been lurking around for info, but am getting more directly involved now. Would love to see your reviews on LED's. HydroGrowLED was actually really good to me. The first unit was damaged by UPS, they sent a replacement right away, Which was damaged again, but this time only cosmetically, and they offered to exchange again, or give me 350 dollars back on the Unit with no effect to the 90 day trial period or the 3 year warranty policy. I took the 350, and if any problems come down the road, they've assured me that they have my back. Only good experiences with them here. The battle between them and Quantum LED is ridiculous, but HydroGrow supplied all documents and information to me proving that they are the original innovators of their product. Hydroponicshut.com is a joke, they sent me two of the same lights I ordered, Pro Grow 400x, and both had different LED arrangements, different spectrums, even different Internal construction! They actually required I send everything back, but I took pictures and video to warn other buyers of their inconsistent and clearly drop shipped products. I will be purchasing another LED soon and could use some advice on the direction to go, don't think I can afford a second penetrator quite yet. Let me know how to "page" you and I will definitely follow along in your grows.

It's a nice guide.
Would it not be better to dry the buds and sweat them at the same time???
I can't understand why everyone insists on drying for 2weeks then tryin to get the moisture in the middle out with a cure.
A cure is further ripening of the bud NOT to remove moisture.
If you dry for 3days to were the outside is spongey you then need to sweat them in plastic bags to place the inside moisture onto the outside of the bud. (Try it you'll see your dry BUD return to being wet)
Then back in the drying tent until spongey again (never crispy) then back in the bags then tent Tec
Repeat until buds do not become moist again.
Then cure.
Not raining on ya parade it's a.great guide layout.

ok, bought a dozen 1/2 gallon wide mouth jars, 20 brovida (medium) 62% r/h packs, and 6 temp+r/h monitors. after the line dried buds are ready for jar curing, when should I put the brovida packs in the jars?
