My grandaddy purple plant has been budding for 2 months. The triclones r still milky. I have been feeding them molasses at every feeding. Should I flush the last two weeks with or without molasses? Please help. If it is ok to keep giving it molasses I will.

Don't know if it's ok or not. After I flush I give them nothing but water.

lots of people use molasses right up till the end through the flush, It doesnt really give anything to the plant, just helps a lot with the roots and absorption of nutrients already present in the soil. so its just up to you bro. I know im going to use it through the flush

plain water will be best!!!although i've read in high times you can flush with mollasses for carbohydrates in the end...but i really care about taste so i flush everything out!!!

now if you could just hook it up with some GDP seeds or clones in return for my answer it would be much appreciated!

was just reading other theads on this. Most are saying the second month of flower is best and don't use after the flush. Molasses helps the microbes in the soil do there thing in turn helps feed the plant. after flush you want the plant to feed on it's self to get rid of all the nute reserves. at least thats my take on it.

stumps- makes sense, good point

I use molasses once a week everyweek including through the flush. My last grow i didnt use it at all. It def looks like the plants like the molasses. A lot of people say that using carbs only during the flush makes the bud taste sweeter. idk how much of a dif it makes in that regard but it doesnt seem to hurt and its not like its making the plant a weird taste as if you didnt do a 'real' flush

found this:

Molasses, as we all know, is the thick, syrupy juice created by the processing of either sugar beets, or sugar cane plants.

But what many people don't know, is that molasses is a good, quick source of energy for the various forms of microbes and soil life in a compost pile or the soil.

In fact molasses has long been a part of the common products used by organic gardeners to bring greater health to their soils and plants, because it's a great source of carbohydrates that stimulates the growth of beneficial microorganisms.

Types Of Molasses

Now there are many grades and types of molasses, depending upon the maturity of the sugar cane or sugar beet, and the method of extraction that they undergo. The different types are: first molasses, second molasses, unsulphured molasses, sulphured molasses, and blackstrap molasses.

You might also hear about dry molasses which is something different altogether, which we're not talking about in this article. But just so you know, dry molasses is molasses that has been sprayed onto grain residue which acts as a "carrier."
The Best Type For Boosting Fertilizer

For gardeners, blackstrap molasses (unsulphered) is the best choice because it is the most nutritionally valuable of the various types of molasses since it contains the greatest concentration of sulfur, potash, iron, and micronutrients from the original cane material. So it's not just the sugar content that makes molasses useful, but its trace minerals.

Molasses is also an excellent chelating agent, which means that it can help convert some chemical nutrients into a form that's easily available for organisms and plants to use.

The blackstrap molasses (unsulphered) is a liquid molasses that can be used alone, or as a component in both sprays and soil drenches, and can be an important addition to your organic fertilization program.

How To Use

Molasses is excellent when applied to soil in conjunction with organic fertilizers, or sprayed directly on plants.

Basic Mixture:

• 1 to 3 tablespoons (15 to 45 ml) blackstrap molasses (unsulphered)
• Added to 1 gallon (3.8 liter) of liquid fertilizer mix (this can be any liquid fertilizer, compost tea, kelp, or alfalfa meal tea)

We talked about alfalfa meal last month, so if you missed it, you can read it here: Alfalfa Meal.

Molasses and Alfalfa Tea Mixture:

4 gallons (15.2 liter) of water
1 cup (225 ml) of fine ground alfalfa meal
1 tablespoon (15 ml) blackstrap or sugar beet molasses

Allow this to brew for 24 hours, then it is ready for application as a soil drench, or as a foliar feed.

Overall molasses is a unique material, and when used properly to help boost other

lol I was just thinking this tea sounds like superthrive. Need to read up on the alfalfa meal to catch what I'm talking about. This oranic stuff sounds kind of fun.
