When you add molasses what you are doing is feeding your microlife in your soil, its supposed to add weight and frostiness to your buds and denseness also, I use it and love it. Only use unsulphered. I use botanicaires strapped and love the price too.

You want a good unsulfered brand. Try Black Strap on Molasses.

I use Plantation Blackstrap, that's what is available mostly in the stores where I live... I have seen extra-large bottles of it also in some places, not sure what the cost was.

Anyways, with a blackstrap molasses especially it is a more complex mixture than just "sugar", which is a refined chemical substance (sucrose). Blackstrap is the final by-product of sugar-refining, left over from the last (3rd) boiling of cane or beet juice to extract the sucrose. This leaves behind a product which is more bitter, as it has a significantly higher concentration of minerals and less, but nonetheless still some sugars (mainly sucrose, fructose and glucose) and other substances (including some vitamins, organic acids).

Blackstrap generally has a good K content, aside from minerals (Iron, Calcium, Zinc, Copper, etc) which microbes also require for growth.

I use white sugar. that plants use it as carbohydrates its food to buds. the plant stores carbs and uses it when it needs it. so adding more will give the plant what it needs to get even bigger like a body builder. eating all that protein. I suggest a teaspoon per 5 gallons every watering. when you start your flush if you decide too last 2 weeks before harvest I step that sugar up to a half cup per 5 gallons. gets them to shine like sparkly glass.

AFAIK plant roots can't really absorb sucrose (table sugar) very well, and they can only take in minor limited amounts of glucose and some of the other simpler\low-molecular weight sugars. In soil there'd be fierce competition among microbes for it. Plant roots do actually tend to exude carbohydrates.

Anyone ever try useing feed grade whole corn or pieces of mangle beets instead of molass

For both good and cheap, get the gallon jug of Molasses sold in Tractor Supply or Bass Pro as a deer attractant. Has a pic of a nice buck on it.

It is high Brix (82), feed grade molasses and mine was a bit less than $10/gallon. Before this, like Nullis, I used Plantation. Still do, but now just for cooking and pancakes.

@LC

No experience with the beets, but the corn will sour right quick if buried at all.

The longer I've used molasses and teas, the less I've come to use, both in amounts and frequency.

Wet

I used to get the gallons, it would go bad by the time i was halfway through it. Now I just buy brer rabbit brand at WalMart for $2 a 12 oz. I just use molasses with teas every 3rd watering. Then use it over the last 10-14 days. I water once every 4-5 days. Molasses tends to induce a fade quickly too. I don't use it early on by itself.

Meh, try earth juice bloom instead...just as inexpensive and more effective.

There is molasses in Earth Juice Bloom (Grow also), but I would add more blackstrap for the K and micronutrients.

Plantation tastes more bitter than sweet to me, I could never put it on pancakes.
