I had alook on the internet to see what I could buy and I found a fairtrade organic molasses for $5. You can even use it to marinate your meat for a bbq haha! Is this normal? or am I looking at the wrong stuff?

Peace

yeah......they have plant food molasses at home depot.....I wouldn't use it....i heard it is STRONG.....I would think any unsulphured molasses would work......as long as it is really dark and not light in color.

Cool well this one is unsulphured,

Take alook and let me know what you think? http://www.healthysupplies.co.uk/blackstrap-molasses-organic-740g.html?gclid=CLO2kc3rxrECFQRTfAodDCAAbQ

Also when you flush do you give them nutes at the end of flush or do you wait until the following feed? Im seriously considering trying your method next grow :-P

That will be perfect.....blackstrap molasses is great......and yes I do add nutrients at the end of every flushing and the next watering I continue with the molasses and nute schedule...........Yeah I had to get the hang of it myself with so many plants, but after a while I have come to remember every schedule for every plant down in my head lol.......I have to get high first though......if I'm not high I forget alot of things lol

if you do hit me up with the link.......also I just bought a full gallon of molasses(plus 6 jars I already had) for $18.00 at Smart & Final, so if you have one locally go grab some.....it comes out to half the price you would be paying when adding up all those jars

You can use molasses, I use Earth Juice Hi-Brix, in both organic and non-organic soils. I have been using molasses in both my Earth Juice(all-organic) and FoxFarm(non-organic) nute lineups for about 5 grow cycles, and the earlier I start in flower the better overall my buds seems to be. It could be mastering my grow technique with each grow that does most of the magic but it seems molasses just makes the buds more frosty and fatter. In my first few grows I had a plant or two each time that didn't frost up much like the others, and now that I'm using molasses for longer periods in flower at higher strengths I have yet to have a strain that doesn't frost up like a snowman. Currently use molasses from about day 20 of flower to a week before flush, I start at 1/2 tsp a gallon and end up at 2 TBSP per gallon in the end. It's amazing stuff.

I have not used any yet because I have so many products already, but I have a friend who uses the Growmore brand. Make sure the color of the extract is black or very dark brown because other extracts that have different colors or are even clear in color have gone through a different type of process that is inferior to the process the real dark colored extracts have gone through. I don't know the details, but the inferior process kills off too much of the good stuff.

My friend swears by it and he has some beautiful plants. I don't believe he used it past veg or early flower.
