so not sure guys, do I feed molasses till the very end, I have about a week and a half maybe two weeks before I chop the girls. Do I keep using molasses or just water for the last two weeks. Hurry up I need to water them.

hope this helps ;)

Just a quick question before i plug up my airstone and drip system.....if i boil this enough will i have problems with a hydro system getting clogged? In other words will it stick back together after cooling in the nute water?

Or maybe i should go with the more expensive liquid form of carb boost.

This is a Bubble/Drip hydro setup.

I don't know much about hydro setups to be honest but i do use molasses and i do know that molasses goes rotten after a couple of days of being in the water bottle even with an airstone in it so i can only assume that it would also rot in a hydro system.

If this is not the case let me know why as i was led to believe that the same water is run around a hydro setup for days and days if not weeks,if this is true why doesn't the molasses go off?:blsmoke:

That is a great question. My only guess of an answer would be circulation.
I can only guess tho....not too excited about trying it out and replacing pumps and lines.

I was able to find some Brer Rabbit Unsulphured Molasses for flowering. I didnt find blackstrap, I could only get full flavor..
I dont know the difference, between them..
Im still going to use it since I dont think it could really matter much either way, does it????

or u could try to get both types and see the actual difference

im using some "Grandmas" molases picked it up at the grocery store. mixing it a little stronger than what this recommended since the bottle i have is much less potent on the nutrition facts. just gave my girl a good watering with it. im throwing some bat guanno in with this next halfgallon. its mexican 12.2.1 so its not prime for flowering i know but it cant hurt, eh?
