I was thinking about trying maple syrup on one of my girls instead of molasses.I would prob' add 3 tablespoons instead of the 2 that molasses requires.Thinking molasses has alot more sugars.Also on this note.....if your supplying the plant with all the sugars it needs during flowering,couldn't you clip most of the large fan leaves off??Since this is where the plant uses up its sugars during the flowering stage.I bet it would be tastey.Just a thought....

I've used maple syrup many times, don't use more just use the same amount maby even a little less, molasses doesn't contain more sugar, maple syrup is almost 100% sugar except for b vitamins and some nutrients, also you need to use 100% real maple syrup 100% natural grade A , I recomend a brand called Spring Tree......


Also real maple syrup isn't cheap.

Now I dont know about the brand that you mentioned, but I do know that real maple syrup is like $30.00 a quart, and it does not say "aunt jemima" on the label either.
Store bought syrup has stuff in it like:
CORN SYRUP, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, WATER, CELLULOSE GUM, CARAMEL COLOR, SALT, SODIUM BENZOATE AND SORBIC ACID (PRESERVATIVES), ARTIFICIAL AND NATURAL FLAVORS, SODIUM HEXAMETAPHOSPHATE.

On the other hand, molasses cost about $3.49, is not processed like maple syrup is and it contains:
100% pure, natural sugarcane juices.
That's it.

Molasses is the best choice because it contains the greatest concentration of sulfur, iron and micronutrients from the original cane material.

Maple syrup has the sulfur removed, which is a micronutrient for the plants.

Used For Growth and Bloom:
Molasses can take free nitrogen from the air and make it into a form that can be utilized by plants. The process is called nitrogen fixation. This process converts free nitrogen into nitrogen based chemical compounds or organic compounds.
The compounds formed are proteins, polypeptides, peptides and amino acids. These organic compounds are then oxidized if broken down by other bacteria into ammonia, nitrite and nitrates plus carbon dioxide and water. The nitrate form is the most readily available form of nitrogen.

For $3.49 try the molasses it offers a whole lot more.
(you'll be saving money, not wasting it)
Peace

Very Nice once again Video

Thanks dude!

Oh and don't clip more fan leaves off the plant when using a sugar additive, just because it has the sugar doesn't mean it isn't better for the plant to derive energy directly from ATP from photosynthesis, which is the most efficient method for plants to gain energy and that way the sugar goes straight into producing resin that we all love so much

how can you say molasses is not processed? It is a by-product of processing cane sugar.

Molasses or treacle is a thick syrup by-product from the processing of the sugarcane or sugar bett into sugar.

Sulphured molasses is made from young green sugar cane and is treated with sulfur dioxide fumes, which act as a preservative, during the sugar extraction process. The sugar cane plant is harvested and stripped of its leaves. Its juice is then extracted from the canes, usually by crushing or mashing. The juice is boiled to concentrate and to promote the crystallization of the sugar. The results of this first boiling and removal of sugar crystal is first molasses, which has the highest sugar content because comparatively little sugar has been extracted from the juice. Second molasses is created from a second boiling and sugar extraction, and has a slight bitter tinge to its taste.
The third boiling of the sugar syrup gives blackstrap molasses. The majority of sucrose from the original juice has been crystallized but blackstrap molasses is still mostly sugar by calories; however, unlike refined sugars, it contains significant amounts of vitamins and minerals. Blackstrap molasses is a source of calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron. One tablespoon provides up to 20 percent of the daily value of each of those nutrients. Blackstrap is often sold as a health supplement, as well as being used in the manufacture of cattle feed, and for other industrial uses.


molasses isn't refined but it is definately processed.

I do agree though molasses is the best.... , but the most unrefined and non processed way to go would be raw cane sugar, it's sugar and it's brown because it still has molasses in it.

I guess thats why I use unsulphured Grandmas Molasses.

Here are some pics for people who dont know what to use

Yeah this stuff is the shit...i just started using it like 3 days ago and already buds are getting fatter and stickier...I'm doing an experiment to see how well it works if i use it three times a week
