Molasses? What is it? where can you buy it?

I know, it probably seems like a stupid question...but where do you get molasses from?

at the grocery store - it is a common food sweetener

mollasses is pretty much a liquid syrup sweetener, u can use it to flush out the nutes when u go into flower

its a syrup made from sugar cane. when your ladies start flowering, add about 1 or 2 tablespoons per gallon of water, plus whatever other nutrients you've been using. all the carbs from the molasses will go right to the buds, making them bigger and better! it can be bought at pretty much every grocery store, and is fairly cheap. go for a brand called Grandma's. good luck

yep all right local grocery should have it.. try to get unsulphured blackstrap its the best for plants ive ben using it since flower works nice GL!

England= treacle.. same as molasses.. darker the better

Ahhh...cheers dude!

Would maple syrup work?

You get molasses from fishing tackle shops and places were you buy horse and cattle feed or like cam said treacle non sulphated.i use lyle's black treacle in a red tin most super markets sell it

i never new that. i'm off to sainsbury's to get me some treacle

Make sure it's non sulphated

When should the molasses be discontinued? Same as the nutes I presume, a week before harvest?

1st grow and I didn't use it this time. I'm ready to harvest in 1 or 2 weeks but discontinued nutes a week ago (jumped the gun). I'm going to resume feeding and stop in 5 to 7 days (watching the trichs).

Can I still benifit from molasses or did I miss the boat?
(I think the latter - Day late and a dollar short, huh!)

some people flush with molasses.makes the bud taste sweeter

Very good! I'm going to the supermarket now!

Thanks!

no probs............

dissolve a small teaspoon of molasses[treacle] in warm water then put that in your feed water with or without nutes.i dont think you use in hydro. block up pipes.

non sulphated black treacle is the same thing.thats what i'm useing and my plants love it

how much treacle should i use and how often?

we use 2 tablespoons of molasses per gallon of water. Use it every time we water/feed/flush. there's never a time we don't use it. you can mix it with your nutes.
