Ive never used molasses in a foliar spray but i cant see that being a good idea,it stands to reason that spraying the plant will leave a residue which cant be good,in my minds eye i see lots of future problems with foliar feding with molasses.
Im running side by side tests right now in soil grown using molasses in 2 different strengths on 1/3 of the grow & no molasses on the remaining 1/3 of the plants.
I do see differences in the different strengths being used against the non molasses plants but until its harvested & cured its pure speculation on my part .
Yeah i think using it in ya waterings during flowering sounds better. Supposedly some of the positive effect of mol comes from it increasing beneficial micro oragsms...oh no organisms in the soil. But putting sugar on ya leaves doesn't sound too good to me.
The main difference between b4 and after using mol that i have noticed is that the buds smell stronger/sweeter for a period after.
I highly recommend NOT FOLIAR feeding with molassess. Even diluted in warm water, it will leave a residue on the leaves. BAD BAD BAD. Stick with root feeding with mol. Or try foliar on one, see what happens and post the results for everyone. If ya wanna risk one of your babies......
this is the best info i have ever found about the use of molasses.
the link below contains the single most comprehensive source of info about the use of molasses in horticulture that have ever come accross. its def a long read but it will anwser any question u could possibly ever have about molasses International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - Molasses: The Organic Miracle Additive....
Yeah heat some molasses up in the jar in hot water to thin it out and add about 3 tbs per gallon and shake it real good. My last grow i added right when it started to flower for a carb load. It worked out pretty well. Good luck man.
Ive been adding it for the past 3 weeks or so and although i have no control for the experiment they are doing so well that im sure its helping, also it seems almost impossible to over use the stuff, i keep uping the frequency and dose assuming the plants will show signs of too much and they keep looking better and better, i usually do 2 TB per gallon every watering but have used up to 4
I use 50ml to 4 litres of water during bloom. Every watering, but this is the first crop I've done this with, looks good so far.. time will tell I guess....
