Hey all I'm curious if you master growers out there use molasses early on to feed the micro-herds in your soil? Would this be harmful to the plant at all in low doses? Thanks!!

I wouldn’t. What’s your reasoning for wanting to?

I think a lot of people think plants use molasses like some fat little 10-yr old pre Diabetic kid beggin for a slice of cake.

If its fresh soil you're in, you souldnt need to use it.. i would wait a month or so until your microherd gets sluggish

Lol!!!!! Thank you all for your replies I just read that it feeds the microherds in the soil! Okay I will wait to use it. If it helps I am in a soilless media from what I understand(Promix hp) @Herbs&Suds nice name by the way lol I am planning to use the Gaia Green nutrients, I haven't added anything yet though!

The microbes are breaking down what's in Gaia and converting it into usable nutrients for the plant. There's some soluble nutrient in there too which is available to the plant right away but for the most part the microbiology is feeding off that and breaking it down. There's other benefits using BLACKSTRAP but it's really not necessary. I just use it in my teas.

Thanks you guys so the jist of this I'm gathering is that as long as you have the right nutrients there is no need for molasses?!

it will feed your benes if you're using them, and natural blackstrap has a small amount of sulphur...but, on the whole, i wouldn't bother with it.

I use SLF100 and bokashi
I think if I put molasses in the soil it might well attract pests
