I've got some jewels at 6 weeks into bloom, in 110% organic fully amended super soil. Fabric grow bags too.
All new tries for this old dawg.
My question is:
To use molasses or not?

Should have been using molasses in aact all along may be too late now? I mean may not be too late but it's main use is to feed and boost your micro herd, and at six weeks I'm gunna gunna may not change to much. But can't hurt. 1 tbsp molasses to 1 cup Ewc with 1 gallon water. Bubble 48-72 hours strain and go. I do this recipe every other week. Veg to the end really

Absolutely molasses all the wat through till the last 2 weeks molasses has a fair amount of magnesium in it and will make your smoke alil harsh if not flushed out and only unsulfered or backstrap molasses
Heard some local growers around me use maple sap! I have some huge maples in my yard and ave been wanting to test this.
 
I actually gave them a dosing last Sunday at 5th week. With the wise words I heard here today. Hit um again today and will repeat again next Sunday at 7th week. Then begin flush.

Flowering under fluorescents ! Like the results your getting. Looking good!
All I've ever known n tried, fluorescent illumination. Today's fixtures sure beat what we had in the 70's. However what we had deployed in mass ensuring success back then wasn't bad.
I've spent decades chuckling silently at the bashers of fluorescent illumination.
The lumens from T-5HO at 1" speak vividly.

I think some people mistake a true flush. For just water only last few weeks. By this goes back to my theory that if used correctly bsm should be mostly consumed before it reaches plants. Teas should be left for 48-72 hours during which mircobes feed off the bsm. I don't think molasses should ever be considere a mg source. We he enough of that build into soil ahead of time. Right??
 
I've pondered the flush, questions like, their in the ground.....how is it possible?
It's not really feasible. My flush is and always has been just pure bubbled water for final 2-3 weeks.
I assure you, I'm no moron.
No need for ugliness, lest I digress!

typically dr. who is a lil more respectful, please consider he is sort of part of the flush-police... I speculate patience at this point is a bit hard..
Also, it's a topic covered incessantly.
I normally don't get involved...
dr who is a good guy though

you are right, BUT I have heard and read of some poor fellas that have been misinformed by being told that a water solution with molasses in it, IS the flush....
I know, I know...
The way you are using BSM is probably the best way to use it, and I agree, it probably is mostly consumed by the microbes by the time its given to the plant.

Yes the whole sweetin up your buds myth. I've heard this one too. If buds aren't dank by the last two weeks. Then it's to late IMO

Yes and when people say flush the first thought is the typical 2-3x pot volume drenched in water. It's for those chemy growers and even then can be unnecessary.
