Im currently in the third week of flower with some bubba kush. Started from clones and half vegged for 2 months and half for a month. Veg under CFLs and flower under a 1k hps. Im using some botanicare tri flex nutes with the botanicare sweet additive. By the looks of it now i should have average results. My question is i just ran out of the sweet..... can I substitute molasses instead? Is there anything else i can add to my nutes to act as a top booster or shooting powder? I want these girls to knuckle up real fat. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

id say just go for the unsulphured molasses, mix .75-1 tbsp to gallon. works great n smells great haha

Thanks man. Should i add the molasses to my base and bloom nutes or just use molasses and water?

When it is time to feed I mix the molasses right in with the nutes & water. This has worked well for me. I soil grow and only feed or water once a week. One week nutes molasses & water, next week molasses and water. When it is time to flush - molasses & water.

What does the molasses do to help plant growth?

Thanks Tommy! Im gonna try it!

Contains sugar that is moved to the buds. Helps with smell and taste.
In theroy it sounds good anyway.

Carbs in the molasses feed the micro beasties in the soil.
PLEASE REMEMBER.....YOU"RE FEEDING THE SOIL NOT THE PLANT.

I just used bio-grow molasses based fert. I checked my ph this morning, and I was at 5.5, from 6.7. is this too acidic for my young plants?
