Whats the word with molasses?

[nflguy]

Hey guys
I been reading a little about using blackstrap molasses. I am about 4 weeks from the chop and want to start using it if its going to be a benefit in any way. I am currently feeding every 6 days with R/O water in between. Do I use this stuff with the water or with the nutes or both? I've never used this before but I'm seeing to use about a tablespoon to a gallon of water. Is that just poured into the water and dissolved? Thanks!

I've never seen any noticeable difference between the plants I've used it on, compared to those I didn't. Some people swear by it. When I did use it, I used the amount and method you described.

I mix mine with the nutes. I used to think it was to sweeten the flavor at harvest. And just used it at the end. But have since learned it is a great source of carbohydrates for the microbs in the soil as well as adds calcium, iron, potassium and magnesium for uptake, so I use it through out the flowering period now.

All my dirt grows are Organic. I use it at a rate of 1 tsp per gallon of water every watering. I use the one that says Hi-Brix.Like said it feeds the soil to help the nutes work better. Doubt it changes the flaver. Hell I know guys that brag about pineapple and grape juice to feed theres and it makes it taste sweet. I cant tell.

If you try to put cold/room temperature molasses into cold/room temperature water, it's just going to sit there in a lump. Stir your molasses into hot water and let it dissolve before adding it to your water or nutes.

And nothing else.

I heat mine in a small saucepanwith a little water just to loosen it up, then mix with water/nutes, then pH.

Also adding some organic soap to the water will help too
