Side by side molasses experiment?

Hello all,

I know this should probably be in Organics, but I want to get as many opinions as possible. I am rounding off my second week of flowering on my 400W ScrOG. I just procured a bottle of unsulphured organic blackstrap molasses, and I am going to give a first dose tonight. When reading up on molasses use, I noticed that there was a lot of talk about a "side by side molasses experiment", but I was never able to find anyone who went for it. Does anyone have a link to where someone actually went for it? If not, I would love to be the guinea pig. Is there any interest in this? Has it already been done? Give me the word, everyone, because I am going to give the ladies a nice dose of molasses tonight. Should I try to settle this endless debate?

hell yes you should

if you have the means to do it i would say go for it then once and for all someone can say they know it works or not.

yes, please try to settle the debate.. I hope I am wrong... but I bet you don't notice a difference.. i suspect that the nutrient industry is similiar to the drug industry... a giant racket!!

lol

already done did it....check back in my posts , had this same discussion so i did a controlled experiment..
the buds from the mollasses plant were the same size as the plant with no mollasses given to it.....

I'll get it started tonight. Thanks for the input. Especiallly you, GK, you gentleman.

THANK YOU mr. sleepy.... you deserve the THANKS for doing the test.... we want the truth.. who gives a fook about being right or wrong.. it is the truth that matters...

Alright, the deed has been done. I have three plants, and two of them are the same strain. I gave molasses to one of my Great White Sharks (the smaller one; it isn't much smaller, but if the molasses really is what many claim it is, it should treat me well.) as well as to the bagseed sativa I am gorwing, because, I figure it couldn't hurt. If I weren't too stoned to take a few snapshots right now, I would. I think I have pretty good representation of where they are in my grow journal; and besides, it is the future progress that counts. Tonight was to be a plain water night, but I am also giving them Tiger Bloom every other time. I suppose I will alternate with TB and plain water or molasses, depending on the test subject. I will post a little update tomorrow, and see if there are any immediate results. I hope this experiment works out, because I owe a large debt to this community. Stay tuned.

Oh, and I forgot, I promise I will update tomorrow, and frequently thereafter.

i did not see any pictures?

cheers

Well, I will provide pictures. If you give me about 20 minutes. I just got home from a long night of working and drinking. Hold on.

S-Town

yes pictures and update frequently!!!

Alright,

Here is just a little pic. This is only 24 hours after the first feeding, so there cannot be much of a difference by now. I suppose I will keep it going in this thread. Here is 24 hours after the first feeding of molasses, 14 days into flowering. I am feeding the closer one on the left (a Great White Shark) molasses every other watering; while the one on the right gets plain 6.2 pH water. On the other waterings, they are both receiving a bit of FoxFarm Tiger Bloom. I hope it goes well.

you could really only do this with clones. even the same strain of a plant could have different phenotypes which could throw off the entire experiment.
