    Default Feeding with molasses

    I've been reading about giving molasses to a flowering plant. Do you just pour the molasses into the water and stir it up?

    Put some molasses in a bottle, put water in there and shake it up before you pour it into your water. It helps distribute the molasses evenly through your water.
    I assume that everybody treats people like they like to be treated. So don't be mad at me because you treat people like an asshole.

    Sweeten buds? Nah... It just helps the plants by producing more of what the plant already does IMO. Use it a couple times in veg, and a couple times in flower should be enough...

    This is the thread I was looking for! Yeah I read somewhere that if you use it in ONLY the last 2-3 weeks of flowering it can help increase yield by up to 25%. I kinda bought it to help feed beneficials and THEN did research, lol, still not 100% sure though. Oh and I do have mine outdoors too so thanks for the heads up Shizz

    from botanicare's website


    • Molasses feeds beneficial microbes in soils and potting mixes. The boosts of energy that they receive help them to convert nutrients such as nitrogen to a more efficient form unlocking the full potential of your fertilizers.
    • Plant roots can absorb some of the carbohydrates into their tissues thus carrying other essential minerals into the plant.
    • Molasses can increase the levels of potassium to the plants which promotes fruiting and flowering.
    • Our unsulfured molasses can also feed endo and ecto-mycorrhizae which increase availability of all plant nutrients for uptake.
