Can you use maple syrup instead of molasses?

Sure, why not. It's a bit more expensive than molasses but not by much. Get the B grade tho, it is less processed.

The trouble with REAL maple syrup is it don't taste very mapley...translates out to just sweet under most circumstances. If you want something to taste like maple you will need to use artificial flavors. It would be cost prohibitive to use it for not much if any gain. If a person don't want the finish product to reek of maple might be ok to use it..but then aint much use of using it for anything. Now I do like it on hotcakes. Some smart person on here recommended Black Strap mollases once upon a time..so thats what I use.

I dont know how the syrup works ,but i can say the plants do love blackstrap mollasses.I didn't use it on my last grow and i wasn't very happy.I just bought some more and hit my new grow with it and they really seem to love it.One night i was smoking and had nothing else in the house .so i drank a whole bottle ofsyrup it was incredible.

I use blackstrap once a week in veg and every watering through harvest in bloom.

The sweetness of maple or molasses is not picked up by the plants. The sugars are simply a good source of carb's and help promote a good root system and a strong vitality. It is the same for you and I except we have the trick of taste buds to induce us to consume it.

Thanks guys, I cant seem to get my hands on molasses.

my brother watered my plants with straight lipton tea and the plants trimmed themselves... i.e the leaves all turned brown and fell off, leaving a big bud on a stick, which actually lived. all the buds grew for like a week more. damnedest thing i've seen.
should be a new harvest/trim technique...

where can i find a molasses guide in English? also can i find molasses to use at my local walmart?

Sure they got some kind of Molasses. Kroger has it down here in God's Country. Might try the ye old health food shoppe. They bound to have it. Its very healthy for a person. Lot of horticulture/gardening places carry it too. It's not a new concept to use it on plants.
