so my roommate just bought some blackstrap molassses and i put about 1 1/4 TBSP/gallon into my girl's soil yesterday. I am planning on using molasses one more time, then going to distilled water for the next 7-10 days. Is this a good idea or am i able to keep watering with molasses until a few days before harvest?

If you have any experience with using molasses, i would love to hear your comments!

Keep doing it up until about a week before harvest. That way it will give the plants time to use up and convert the molasses into beneficial things. otherwise you can end up with a very starchy bud that will smoke harshly.

well.......how would go about curing it then?

paper bags and mason jars.... after the buds are almost dry on the stem I cut them off and put into a paper bag piled at the bottom upto about 3-4" gentally stiring the pile every few hours, keeping the bag rolled up at the top to close it off and set it in a corner for a day or two. after the buds are dry to the touch i stick them in mason jars until they are ready to go where they are going. or leave them in there if they are staying at home....

Sucanat, Soo-ka-nat Thanks to Hydro and Planet Skunk for this info I copied it word for word.

I have gotten an overwelming response with questions on sucanat and I find myself writing the same thing over and over.
So what I have done is compile some information for you to sift through and I give the amounts to use. So with what information Im giving you here should asnswer your questions good enough for you to make an informed decission.

Sucanat (which is a concatenation of Sugar Cane Natural) is non-refined cane sugar that has not had the molasses removed from it like refined white sugar. It is essentially pure dried sugar cane juice. The juice is extracted by mechanical processes.[1]

Sucanat is generally accepted as a substitute for brown sugar. Unlike regular brown sugar, sucanat is grainy instead of crystalline.

"More importantly, Sucanat supplemented herb has an aroma and flavor all its own. It won't cover up the natural smell of your plants, but it'll add an extra richness and flavor to the strain. Some varieties that I've seen grown with Sucanat take on the flavor so much that they smell like carmel candy when you break up a bud. Joints rolled with Sucanat-grown ganja taste delicious all the way down to last ember burning against your fingertip. Bong hits linger on your tongue for hours, and even a quick hit off a pipe during lunch break becomes a momentary orgasm of sweet, savory goodness as the smoke rolls of your lips."

We all know that white sugar is like the devil. It's got zero nutritional value and rots our teeth. It also makes us feel crappy when we eat it because it makes our blood sugar level spike up and then come crashing down. Immagine what it does to our poor plants.

Have you heard of Sucanat? It stands for Sugar Cane Natural. It's sugar in its most natural form - pure cane juice with only the water removed. This process preserves all the vitamin-filled molasses. It's organically grown with no added preservatives or additives.

Sucanut can be used in place of white sugar or brown sugar when baking, and adds a wonderful flavor due to the molasses. Unlike refined white sugar, Sucanat contains iron, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin B6, potassium and chromium. So you will also be getting nutritional value when you smoke your herb.

PaPa's Tips: Look for Sucanat in the baking aisle at your local health food store. It's a little bit more expensive than refined white sugar, but you're paying for the extra vitamins. Try it next time you bake some cookies or muffins. It can also be used to sweeten sauces and marinades, adds a wonderful flavor to your weed due to the molasses. Unlike refined white sugar, Sucanat contains iron, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin B6, potassium and chromium.adds a wonderful flavor due to the molasses.

use two tbs per gallon, it gives it carbohydrates wich the plant has to make to photosynthesise, so it lightens the work load on the plant and all the extra carbs can be used to build bud, and you also get the benifit of the enhanced flavor of the weed.

If you are using another type of carboload then only use one tbs per gallon
