so now you showed the whole site that you can grow in miracle grow? WOW, you must be so proud of yourself.lol
Molasses, yay or nay?

Not proud. Just happy people can't give misinformation or disinformation about it anymore.

because no one ever grew a plant in MG before ODG came along,

Not in depth, from what I can see. Maybe a few other anecdotes. And mostly, they didn't turn out as well.

ok, you are the first to ever grow a decent plant in MG. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

I didn't say that. There just aren't any grow journals documenting them enough. Mine has been pretty thorough.

I will go my way, and hope yours involves a cliff. Love you.
that was pretty funny man.
I love this site.
people just HATE each other.
I wanted to choke someone the other day too, and I'm a pacifist.
mumble, mumble...dirty roundup using motherfucker...

I don't really have an issue with him. He's alright. You're all alright.

you're alright too man.
we disagree on some stuff, but that's all good.
back on topic
if the OP had a poll asking whether molasses is good for a soil additive or not, that'd be a better question.
for compost teas?
yes!
for soil additive?
Not in my experience.
and damn dude, if you are using that much molasses every water??
i'd be reaaaal careful my man
coming from experience, molasses WILL lock out nutrients if used too much, I used a tbs per gallon, ONCE a week, and it locked out some of my longer flowering sativas late in flower.
especially in smaller pots, it'll be an issue.
for me the risk isn't worth the reward.

oops... my bad
I read that as every water.
disregard what I said
but what do you "feed" them?
I thought you were in a water only?

I mix up my medium (coco/peat/yucca/EWC with light fertilization with bone, blood, kelp, alfalfa, poultry litter) with Dr. Earth Home Grown, FoxFarm (Although just ordered Roots) Bat Guano for extra phos, Espoma dolomite lime, and in flower, I top dress with Dr. Earth Flower Girl, guano, and water with molasses. My ferts have Mycorrhizae and Rhizobacillus in them.

Teas would probably be better, but especially if they included molasses. You skip the breakdown time and have an immediate population of microbes.

I have used it back to back in watering, in the beginning. It just got a little droppy. It leaches really easily, too. I would only be afraid if someone didn'T dilute it that the stickiness would suffocate or putrefy the roots.

I also think that if there is any yeast in there, the molasses would increase CO2 at the root zone. We did an experiment in bio with fermentation. In 20 minutes, the molasses and yeast pushed out 15ml of CO2.

Is this the book that in the second half he turns bio industry advertiser and admits he don't know sheet about myco's?

Oh, now that I think about it, it was probably somewhat higher in temps. Good catch. Like, 90? 100? In test tubes and with tubing.

i'd think the temp would have to be north of 85degrees. obviously the warmer, the easier it is to grow yeast. so with temp control and checking the pH, you can mitigate the yeast growing issue.

Here's my next run. Heavyweight Lemon Cake. Also going to pop HSO Chemdawg and Big Buddha Original Cheese (Exodus Cut Cheese x Big Buddha Cheese Reversed)
