Default Guano Vs molasses npk

Hey all, i been reading about molasses, im abit confused.. do you just use molasses as the only source of nutrients during flowering? or do you use it as well as another nuet.

well anyway second question.

should i use...

Guano Super Bloom N.P.K 1-9-1 (bat) (its liquid guano not powder, ive used it previous years just curious which is better to use)

or

Molasses?

or can i use them both together? sorry about stupid questions im kinda new to all this in the sense of different neuts etc, i just normaly used guano super grow then bloom

You are using soil right? Molasses is to improve the biology of the soil, not to feed the plant. You'll want to use your guano tea to feed the plant, and you can try the molasses to feed the soil.

I make a tea that uses both. I have 2-6 weeks left on my ladies and have cut off the guano from basically everyone and am just using molasses every other watering for the duration.

He pretty much nailed it on the head. Give your ladies 2-3 waterings with molassas 1 tbsp/gal, with a clean watering in between each molassas watereing. 3 days after the last molassas shot, start flushing them. I you're using molassas, you're going to need to flush very well or your buds will taste a little spicy.

Thanks for the replies,

ok basicly im using soil. say i flower them for 6-8 weeks..

i normaly would just use guano every 2-3 days while flowering.

should i use molasses once a week for the whole flowering peroid? or just the last 3weeks or so?

Thank you guys for the help

You will want to water less than that. I water about once a week... some small containers are more like every 5 days.

I use my tea every other watering.

2-4 weeks before my harvest window I stopped feeding, but still use molasses one more time. Maybe twice with some of my 10-11 week finishers. They may get fed one more tea too... Depends on how they're feeling.

Too much feeding and too much watering are leading causes in troubled growth.
