That sounds....hard to believe I guess I would say, (just the "doesn't help near harvest" part) since the plants continue in their respective soil they've been in, feeding the micro herd seems like it would have some benefit, in veg., flower, pre harvest, etc....weird. All input is appreciated though, thanks
check out the most experienced growers here, they dont pour molasses into their soil.
its always the same groups that do though, check the plant issues threads...they're all in that section.
if there is any benefit it is negated by the food stuff that isnt used in the soil. your plant doesnt eat molasses.
your plants grow to their weakest resource. If you dont have temp/rh control, hid lights, and proper air exchange/c02
those beasts are dying anyways, molasses wont do it. if molasses made bigger better buds we all would be using it universally.
its cheap and easy, be no reason not to try it.
a handful of compost will go a hundred times further than a spoonful of molasses to feed micro beasts. if the addition of anything makes your weed better for you by all means do it, its part of the fun learning.
