got a question on molasses.i've heard about adding it to ur water during flowering.what i'd like to know is when,and how much.my girls are 46 days in to flowering [trainwreck],and looking very good.also growing in soil[organic] with foxfarm nuits.any help,?please.:peace:
 
It's not too late to start. I'm using 2 Tbsp per gallon. Dissolve it in very hot water then mix with the rest of the gallon. Shake vigorously. The water that is :) Let it get to room temperature before use.

I've read here where it is advisable to start after 4 weeks flower. I started around 6 and I've seen impressive results.
 
i use one tbs per gallon, but the rest of what he said is right on. rep for the hot water instructions, most people don't know that ;)

kudos!

Welcome drfudge/
If you have not been to newbie central yet /\ go there and introduce yourself//

yeah molases is great!!!
Props to videoman.. I know you are out there.

I would stop 1-2 weeks before harvest though.
I add it with my bloom mix.

I would also try it about a week after you start adding veg nutes on the next grow.
Happy growing
 
of course it does; just like any other flower supplement. i don't use molasses in hydro; it has caused me gummy problems before. hammerhead from ad nutes is great stuff for hydro.

Is this for the microbial action in the soil? I didn't know it would be helpful that soon. Thanks for that info!

KP, am I using too much molasses with 2 Tbsp per gallon? I started a little late and my girls seem to take whatever abuse I throw at 'em. What problems/symptoms should I be on the lookout for in the event of a molasses overdose?

Hey man has this affected your plants at all? I am using molasses with mine and I haven't wanted to mix molasses with ferts just to be cautious. I just water like half one day with molasses and half next day with ferts, then off for a few days.

If it doesn't bother them, then I will just simplify. Let me know.
