Default molasses - whats the deal?
Okay, so before even readign up on it i picked up some "BRER RABBIT" molasses, unsulphured.

it seems i picked an alright choice. now my question is, if i'm already giving my 2 month old vegging babies ferts every two weeks, should i apply this when i apply my other ferts? or replace the old ones with molasses? and how often should i use it? one more, can this burn the plants???

don't get me wrong, since i got home i've been looking it up and can't get any straight-forward answers, even on other sites.

also, should i wait until flowering? i read somewhere it was also useful during veg.

the back label says 10%calcium, 20%magnesium, 15% iron.
i don't see any reason why molasses wouldn't be great for plants!
there's also 15g of carbs(5%) and 11g of sugars.

look at molasses as a helper to your feed. molasses helps your plant take up nutrients more efficiently by feeding the microorganisms/bacteria in your media, also, it brings out the flavor of your particular strain. i use it through out, weekly, during flush, and sometimes just for the hell of it. burn, idk. i do a tbsp(give or take a ML) and they love it from beginning to end. i'm not the the guy who believes feeding your seedlings is a bad thing. molasses is great for plants. don't be scared just use it. tbsp at a time and don't forget, don't over water your plants

It feeds the microrganisms in your soil.

Its an excellent source of readily available micro nutrients and trace elements. You can find it at pretty much any store And its cheap.

It cant burn your plants, but if you let too much build up in wet soil it can increase chances of mold or fungus knats. Just dont use too much. And if your going to use it every feed, I would do 3 with molasses then 1 without it, just so any that may be in the soil will get used up. And let your soil dry out between feedings, constantly moist soil is bad news, expecially with molasses.

I put 2 tbsp's of Grandma's Molasses in 2 liters of water and feed mine everyday with this but just in flowering. Does this sound about right or should i add more or back off any?

Everyday seems a bit much. You gotta let your soil dry between waterings
