Ever thought about ebay? I bought some unsulphured black molasses there.

its a pure carbohydrate and its supposed to give the plant quite a boost used at the end of flowering.

If molasses is kind of like carbo load from AN , I wouldn't use it on young plants , I did and I noticed it darkened there roots (hydro) and stunted there growth. And this was at 1/2 streangth, It also fuck with your PH more goes up.

Hmmmm... Interesting .. I can believe that the roots would get darkened. But, stunted there growth eh? Wow, Thats why I like this forum. Knowledge is Power. Thanks for your input.
I added 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to a gallon of nute water and fed them toady with it.
I am a total noob but I have read on RUI extensively about molasses and there is a giant ass thread about it - but most people give molasses during flowering stage only and do it right up to the end - doesn't need to be flushed.
Brown suagr is only 3.5% molasses so I wonder how effective it will be - im going to try and get some molasses next week but brown sugar will have to do for now.
