mollasses is what ive heard helps, and i think you are ment to flush in the last week or so

I use molases every watering 1tbl spoon per gallon then 2 tbl spoons pg, after week 6. the last week or the week before I flush like a mad man, then I wait a week take a leaf off and taste the stem for nutes, if needed I flush again, just to make sure. Amd molases all the way to the end.

Molassas supposedly sweetens the taste and provides sugars to your plant during the final stages where she is sucking up everything she can to substain life.

so would you discourage someone from using molasses?

i only ask because it is currently on my grocery list...but i dont want to do it if you say not to....

i had no problems with molasses , but it wasnt doing much better than my reg nutes
so i got some PK boost to compare with molasses and other nutes, but my single experiment with molasses did not help,nor hurt the plant noticably, I hear a lot of other growers swear by it!! it might work better in your set-up than mine!!

good luck !!!

I use the DNF bloom fortifier. I use a little more then the recomended dose (5 ml for 22L of water). I use about 7 ml for 22L of water. The buds don't so much swell, well they do, but what happens is the buds grow in and fill up and gain weight. Its a bit pricey but well worth the coin. I gain about I'd say a pound , maybe a pound and a half of dry bud with 6 x 1K lights using that shit.
