So does anyone know if there's phosphorus in molasses?

No there is none.. Since my plant is flowering I use Schultz Bloom builder 5-30-5 what I do is add 1/3 of a cap and I dump in a table spoon of Molasses which translates into Potassium into a 950ml of Gatorade bottle shake that up well and apply.. It works well I feed it no more than 3x a week and just plain water for the remainder it doesn't seem to be overkill for my plant that is around 5ft in a 6gal pot :) mind you it's been quite hot here in Ontario this summer...

Space Angel claims to have tested the theory of just Molasses in bloom and he said it works better than blooming nutes.

How the hell is that possible if there's no Phosphorus(the most important nutrient for bloom)?

I know one guys who use's both.And there's many guys on this site that use both.

Here's an excerpt on blackstrap molasses. It's from a health site, but describes some of the properties as a food:


  • Blackstrap molasses, gram for gram, contains more Iron than any other food, except for pig's liver and Brewer's Yeast.
  • Contains five times more Calcium than milk - without the high protein that causes calcium to be excreted
  • Contains an abundant source of all B vitamins
  • Large amounts of copper, potassium and phosphorus
  • Sizeable amounts of trace mineral Chromium (valuable in maintaining blood sugar levels)>
  • 10% of content is minerals
It goes on to say that an important constituent of molasses is phosphoric acid and that everybody can benefit from ingesting a teaspoon per day.

That health site descibes the amount of P and other nutrients for human consumption.

I would assume that humans don't need the levels of NPK that plants would need.
So would there be a sufficient amount of P for blooming plants?

Dude, I have no answer on what makes them big or as big as bloom nutes, all I know is what I was told to experiment with and I did on bag seed and the results were astonishing. I too was skeptical of this process, thus tried it out on bagseed first and couldn't believe it myself when I seen the results. I've used molasses ever since and water my girls each watering with molasses. A real plus is the taste of the bud, sweet tasting and not harsh at all, a real delight. I will post some pics here soon to show you results of molasses laden buds and nothing else added. It's gotta be the sugar intake from the molasses, don't know anymore than that!

so when I mix the tsb of molassas with the gallon of water do I use that whole gallon on one plant and make 2 more gallons for two more plants? *1 gallon per plant* ... or do I just divide that gallon equally between my plants ? and also does the amount of molasses go up as time goes by...so like 1 tsb to 1 1/2 tsb - 2 tsb per gallon as the plant gets used to it ?

Just make your mix and water the plants with as much as they need. There's no reason to pour a gallon to them if they're just in small pots. I don't think it's necessary to keep upping the dosage unless you are trying to use it as your main food. Most people use it as an additive and overdoing it can mess with your soil texture.

I have 3 gallon pots and I usually give them a gallon of water or a gallon and a half every 3 days...keeps them happy thus far
