These are the pics of my last grow after I used molasses I also was feeding too much and watering way to often..I also had no perlite other than what came in soil that was left outside and got rained on 
Peanut's Auto grow with Greenleaf Nutrients MEGACROP

Dam. I see signs of more than one pest. That's unfortunate. Idk why molasses would be a problem though. I guess it could promote an existing problem but seems unlikely to be the cause of one if used correctly. It's only really useful to feed the micro organisms in the soil. (Happy frog has a lot of micro life btw)
I used blackstrap molasses on my last grow and they did amazing...though it is one thing I used on all my plants so Idk for sure if it did anything.
It may not have vibed well with your setup. Hopefully you'll figure out what works for you this time and grow some super frosty nuggets!!

That's what I'm hoping for I think it had to do a lot with the watering,to be completely honest..... The nats were annoying the most though ,than the problems got really badDam.

No not really I was having a lot of issues though I tried some different kind of water thinking I was helping her but I was really killing her.. They were 5-6 weeks into flower I think if I would have made it all the way they would have been nice .. My plant was 11 inches tall and I got 2oz's from it dried

Dam 2 zips from an 11 inch plant!!? That sounds like it did good to me. I wonder why it was growing out those three fingered leaves... that's usually caused by re-vegging.

Yeah I tied her down a lot and took off all the bottom leaves as far as the leaves it could have been a light leak ain't sure a couple times I would forget to close the vent flap at the bottom .. That and I was giving veg nutes during flower like a NOOB..Lol.Literally 11 inches from top of soil to top of plant I topped it twice but had three big buds and hand full of golf ball sized buds the pic I found in my deleted library wasn't of a big bud

K I had started adding it way to early than I did it right when they started to flower if I try it this time I will remember to wait .... I am going to try and stick with Greenleaf Nutrients MEGACROP through the whole grow though trying to see how good this stuff is ... I was really impressed with whytewidow's grow using it they were supper frosty and huge ,so I'm gonna try it out hopefully I get the same or better results..... I fed them a little bit of it last week and I saw a difference in them in a couple of days they seem to love it .. I didn't water them last night and when I woke up this morning they looked sad .. I'm thinking they were thirsty so I PH'D the water and gave it to them it was ph'd to 6.7 hopefully they will look better I'm waiting for the lights to come on at 3... Hopefully they will be looking better .. I noticed that one of the side branches started growing good after I trained them so hopefully they produce good

Just take a glance at your ingredients in the nites you use. Nutes are pretty basic and there is high priced cannabis nutes that are mainly simple cheap ingredients. Blackstrap Mollases being one. It's just a source of Potassium with some calcium and magnesium as well.
The same goes for bug preventatives and such. You can buy a product called SNS-217 which is a mite control spray, for about 35$-40$.
You looked at the one and only active ingredient.... Rosemary Oil. So how much is a bottle of Rosemary Oil?
About $4.99 lol.
Just always remember our Retail Markets are aimed to take advantage of an uneducated customers. Unfortunately is not " Hey this SNS is just rosemary oil and I can suggest you buy a rosemary oil concentrate for alot cheaper to save yourself money's" instead of " Hey this SNS is the best, you absolutely need it. I know it's 40$ but but the ingredients are out of this world and worth well more than what's priced. Your getting a steal! I suggest you buy two.".

Some basics I use...
Calcium - Egg Shells
Magnesium - Epsom Salt
Potassium - Mollases (and has both
above in small amounts)
Wood Ash I believe is a good source of
Potassium too.
Nitrogen - ... Um drawing a blank. Think
its the fish emulsion. Or some types of
bat shit depending on what they eat.
There are tons of options out there for all sorts of additives

I've heard bat guano can leave a taste behind after flushing and that seabird guano can be a better alternative. Same ingredients, no bad taste

I paid 23$ for a 2300 gram bag of nutes it's not to bad... I would like to start making my own soil so I don't have to do anything but water them one day I will get it right .. January I will probably start it so I can have it ready for my next grow...

Well I watered the girls today and I'm thinking I may have put a little to much I wasn't trying to put so much that it was gonna pour out the bottom but I did now she is all droopy....
Anyways on a good note my gorilla glue looks like it came topped from the factory ...Lol I put a towel under my pot to soak the water up cuz the bottom of the pot is still wet ,that's the only thing I'm not likening of dirt pots they get wet .. I think that the gorilla glue is going to produce a nice yield if I don't screw it up...LolThey are really likening the LST they are growing upwards again and the side shoots are coming with it

Types of Guano.I've heard bat guano can leave a taste behind after flushing and that seabird guano can be a better alternative. Same ingredients, no bad taste
Bat guano comes in different types. The N-P-K ratio of the guano is dependent on what the type of bat it came from and what it’s diet consists of. For instance, Mexican bats eat bugs so their guano is high in nitrogen. While Jamaican bats feed on fruit, so their guano is high in phosphorus. Lets explore some different types of guano and their application.
Mexican Bat Guano (10-2-1). This type of guano is very high nitrogen. This makes it perfect for the vegetative stages of growth. Even when the plant is young it can be fed a dilute mixture if the soil happens to contain very little nutrients. This type of guano can be used throughout the vegetative stage of growth.
Peruvian Seabird Guano (10-10-2) This type of guano is NOT bat guano. It comes from Peruvian seabirds and is then transferred into dry-pellet form. This type of guano, because it is not from bats, is very “hot”, meaning it will burn plants very easily if prepared incorrectly or over applied. Do not exceed the recommended amount when preparing the tea and allow it to sit for at least 72 hours before feeding your plants. This is 24 hours longer than bat guano because the pellets are harder to break down as well as the high potential for burning the plants otherwise. Peruvian Guano is both high in nitrogen and phosphorus making it ideal for the transitional phase of growth when you are finishing the vegetative phase and beginning to flower. The nitrogen will sustain the plant through it’s initial stretch and the phosphorus will allow for root expansion and as a result better yields. On a side note, many people have poor results with this type simply because they do not prepare the tea properly or let it sit long enough the end result being damage to their plants that is beyond repair.
Jamaican Bat Guano (1-10-0.2) This type of bat guano is high in phosphorus. It is perfect for the early-mid flowering cycle once females are well established. I like to use this type for most of my flowering phase in conjunction with Fox Farms Tiger Bloom at ½ strength for massive blooms.
Indonesian Bat Guano (0.5-12-0.2) This type of guano is the ultimate low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus bat guano. It is perfectly suited for the end of the flowering cycle before the final flush. This drops nitrogen levels low to cut growth and signal the autumn harvest as well as provide a huge resource of phosphorus to bulk up buds and add to trichome count.
In conclusion, you can now see that bat guano is perfect for growing your own clean organic cannabis. It is easily customized to every stage of the plants growth from seedling to harvest. Organic gardening is by no means an exact science. Depending on your atmosphere, light, and type of plant you may need to feed more, less, or perhaps amend your feeding water with something that bat guano does not contain, for instance to stabilize pH etc. However you grow, remember it is a life affirming process to grow and smoke your own cannabis do NOT base your grow on calendars, weight, and dollar signs, as such things are truly insignificant to this process.

Careful with seabird Guano. Guano can be VERY different between species.

K will do thanks for all that info ... I sure will refer back to it when I start shopping for ingredients to make my soil.. I am so excited to have this little grow going sad thing is that I can't smoke the job I'm on is coming to an end here in the next month so I had to clean up hopefully whenever I harvest I would have already established myself somewhere else and will be able to enjoy the fruits of my labor....Did u see the factory topping my gorilla glue came with ...
