Hi guys,


I found a bit of info on molasses but nothing specific to my grow.. Just wanted to know if its ok to mix my blackstrap meridian molasses with my current feed?

my plants are in end of week 3 of flowering. at the moment the feed is:
-2ml biobizz grow / litre
-3ml biobizz bloom & Iguana juice bloom / litre


can i simply add the molasses to this feed which i give the plant around twice a week? (i water the plant every day but only feed 2 times a week- hope that's not too little)...

If its ok to add the molasses, how much for a litre and when do i start/end using the molasses? I usually stop feeding two weeks before harvest.


thanks a lot for the help.

It shouldn't hurt, but that's a lot of feeding and even more watering, IMO too much.

Watering every day is just too much. Either you are overwatering or not watering heavily enough and both are bad. Water well till the medium is saturated then allow to dry out, ~3 days or so.

I nute once/week and water no more than twice a week.

the longest i can leave it for is a day and half without the leaves starting to drop... its really hot at hte moment hence the area gets hotter... i've got a fan and its under 400w light but its still too hot. the pots aren't massive either hence it dries quickly. i usually water until a little bit starts to drop off from the bottom...

any ideas about molasses amounts to add to that recipe of nutes? i doubt im feeding too much as i've been doing these amounts for years now and results are fine, just never mixed with molasses. its organic so there's no cahnce of burn with those amounts.. and i share 2 litres between 3 pots...

5ml/L should work very well, or a bit less. 5ml/2L will work as well. Start light at first.

nice one wet.

should i add molasses every time i feed nutrients or with every watering? and should i stop using molasses 2 weeks before harvest like i do with the nutes?

Either way, with the nutes OR with the water, but once/week is enough.

2 weeks from harvest, water+molasses only. Don't stop the molasses, just the nutes.
