go to WalMart. Get brer rabbit brand. Use about 3 tbsp per 5gal of water. Use it at day 25 and 45. Then in compost tea's. You can also use it for the last waterings. Its a chelating agent. So it helps breaks down organic material.

Im trying to keep it simple since it is my first grow so im gonna use it like you said on day 25 and 45 and at the last 2 or 3 weeks. I appreciate the advice ! Would you happen to know how much it is ? Dosent have to be exact just wondering

Also was wondering if i could/should add it in with my nutes and the times i use cal mag?

 

[hyroot]

$2 - $3 a bottle. Its fine with nutes.

get the unsulphured ...... It should say it on the label

 

[mainliner]

glucose c powder 99% carbs

molasses 45% carbs

i could go into detail as to why glucose is better

but my side by side test said it all ......... Way way more frostie.





" but molasses has other good stuff in " ...... Yes but in small amounts and they should be in your soil anyway...... You only use the molasses for the carbs to feed the plant and the bennies ...... Glucose will do this better trust me .

you only need the carbs from the molasses and its 40% carbs

the glucose c ( from a chemist) is 99% carbs


you choose

molasses is carbs / sugars, nutes, chelating agent, food stock for microbes. Improves flavor by raising brix levels. Only a few applications needed during a grow.

lol

lol

you just learned something. Sugars raise brix levels and having higher brix levels bring out better, more pungent flavor.

I just learned you have no clue how plants work and make shit up.

Molasses also has cal/mag, IDK if the glucose does. I usually look for "Grandma's" brand molasses, it seems to have higher concentrations of cal/mag/iron/potassium than other available around me. I've only used it in organic grow and I usually mix my organic ferts and molasses and let it sit with aeration for 12-24 hrs before feeding

nope captain troll its fact. Google brix leves .edu or oxford journals. Why hydro is flavorless compared to soil. Low brix levels in hydro.

 

[chuck estevez]

here is a PHD in soil saying NOT TO USE MOLASSES, in big letters, but HYROOT knows better than her.

BULLSHIT, plants don't absorb/uptake sugar dumbass. they make sugars thru a process called photosynthesis
