too much molasses? am i getting this right?

Hey all I was wondering whether or not I was headed down the right track. I am about 5 weeks into flowering and have been using "Dark Brown Molasses Sugar", about 1/4 of a tablespoon per 1.5 liters of water...


Is this the right kind of molasses to use? The right amount?



I think that my plants have been reacting really well to it. I am not sure it is JUST the molasses though, i could be witnessing a placebo effect which is why I came here to ask if I purchased the right molasses and if I'm using the right amount...


Also, out of curiousity what would indications be of using "too much molasses" if that is possible?

Please help guys!!!

well since your flowering i'd just order some nutrient that way you know what your feeding her, i am about to try dr.hornby's liquid big bud or bud blood

Never heard of 'dark brown molasses sugar' but anyway, u want UNSULPHERED MOLLASSES, and it's hard to over-do it. I use 1tbs per gal.

im already using flower nutes...... cmon now, not that nub...


as for the molasses i bought, I got it from ralphs in the sugar section, it is BILLINGTONS NATURAL DARK BROWN MOLASSES SUGAR...

the description reads why not try billingtons natural milled golden cane sugar as the natural alternative to white sugar. Billingtons is a soft, moist , fine grained sugar. Rich in natural molasses it has a deep brown colour and distrinctive toffeee flavour... "ingredients natural cane sugar"

check the label and make sure it doesn't have sulpher in it.

it says the only ingredient is natural sugar cane...

What you have there is SUGAR, its not malasses. What you want to have is Black Strap Molasses, it will be a thick black syrupy like substance.

yeah molasses.
its black. it is a fluid.
also good on oatmeal.

and it smells like poo

hmmmmm ok, I will look for Black Strap next time I go to the store... But you dont think that this sugar/natural molasses(whatever the fk they call it) is helping? I feel like I have seen noticeable increases in the size and density of my buds...

What I have is, is brown and syrup like, even says in its description that it has natural molasses in it... When I pour the chunks into my water, they take a few minutes to dsissolve into the water and they turn the water brown... Idk, I mean I will go out and get Black Strap if you think that it will significantly help me more then this natural sugar or whatever... I dont want to be giving it the wrong stuff after all...

products like sugar daddy have sulfer in them.. what's so bad about sulfer? I use sugar daddy seedling - harvest and don't have problems..

Liquid molasses, dry molasses powder, brown sugar, corn syrup - source of fast consuming sugars for feeding and breeding the aerobic bacteria in compost teas. Most microherd populations love the high carbon content in sugar products. Sugars are best dissolved and broken down by microbes in compost tea that has brewed at least 1-3 days, before applying to the soil. If too much sugar is added on soil straight as a topdressing, it may cause a temporary nitrogen deficiency in the soil as the microherd populations grow too fast. Molasses also contains sulfur which acts as a mild natural fungicide also. Molasses is also a great natural deodorizer for fishy teas. NOTE: Recent studies have shown that unsulfured molasses or dry molasses powder is best for faster aerobic microbial growth in tea brewing. For a more fungal tea don't add too much simple sugar or molasses to your aerobic teas. Use more complex sugars, starches and carbohydrates like in seaweed, rotten fruit, soy sauce, or other fungal foods.

sorry but that just confused the hell out of me. If I understood correctly, liquid molasses, dry, brown sugar, corn syrup are all different but useful sources of fast consuming sugars?

So my brown sugar is good to use but I shuld have my solution brewed 1-3 days in advance? I have noticed that it kinda thickens the water it dissolves into

Yes.you did understand correctly and I do want to say that when I use molasses I heat up a little pan of water and put the molasses in there and mix it up good add the rest of the water and then use it. It makes it easier to mix up. I also want to say if you mix up a batch use what you've mixed because left over molasses stinks like a babies shitty diaper. I pour it in my other house plants just to get rid of the left overs. Didn't want to confuse you. You got it.

u n s u l p h e r e d m o l a s s e s. it is sold in every major supermarket on the planet.Sugar is not molasses brown sugar is not molasses sugar cane is not molasses.and they all have sulpher (naturall concentrated salt)unsulpherd molasses is ideally what your after.its marked clearly on the bottle unsulpherd molasses.

nest to the syrup

... it's next to the syrup

molasses is not sugar, it is a byproduct of the production of refined sugar.
a bottle costs about 3.50 american and many people recomend it. there have been many threads about it:
