a lot of growers use molasses most of the way through
i used up to about 2 weeks of harvest - worked great for me - only used 1 tsp per gallon of water

so everytime i water use molasses? how much is dat stuff?

maybe not every time, depends on the rest of the nute mix - many growers feed every other watering
i did feed every time - i was using molasses/bone meal tea - this is unusual, just what i did
molasses is maybe $3 a bottle - real nice nute for the price

well i already have a bag of 10-2-1 guano so i guess il get sum molasses and make a tea out of the two. thanks alot for the help guys.

quick question.. what nute does molasses have?

I understand molasses has the phosphorous nute. The middle number on nutes, usually for flowering. I use Schultz 10-15-10 all the way through. I started the molasses in last three weeks of flower, 1 tbsp. per gallon (put it in hot tap water first to make a tea). My outsider is also in triple digits daily and comes in at night. I had a chunk missing that looked a little like yours and the next day spotted a grasshopper on it. Hope the assbite got high. Good luck. They look great if you ask me!

They are called white flies

The way I understand it, the molasses is used to stimulate the bacteria in the soil. Wouldn't this increase the risk of bugs, mold, etc.?

No, molasses allows micro nutrients to be absorbed more efficiently because of the natural sugars in it, breaks down starches etc. stimulating root activity and actually removing harmful bacteria. You mix the molasses with water, and typically with other nutrients to make a tea. Combining molasses with the other nutrients allows the roots to draw in more water and the nutrients simultaniously without burning the plant. The roots and macro organic environment converge together to transubstantiate the sugars into a kind of cleaning tool, working along with helpful enzymes to eat away harmful bacteria and creat an environment unfit for harmful insects, while allowing for beneficial bacteria/insects/enzymes to thrive on the byproducts of the transubstantiation.
