just make sure that any mollases you purchase is un-sulfured i use grandmas brand available at most grocery stores.

robust or not?

what do you mean i dont understand?

 

[smellzlikeskunkyum]

theres a "robust" or original in gramas brand

, also i have an unopened jar of gramas molasses , but it says "best by : feb 2009" its prolly still good aint it? just wouldnt taste quite as fresh maybe?

 

[smellzlikeskunkyum]

by the way i have a grow journy up and dont know how to link it, but ill be using molasses on this grow so check it out

let your nose be your guide if its spoiled or contaminated with bacteria your nose will tell you. most expiration dates are precautionary and do not mean the product is always spoiled.

i have always used the standard grandmas molasses as i have never seen any others. im sure the robust is fine as long as it is un-sulphered.

Hydro Organics High Brix Mollasses is the chit--1tbs per gallon every other watering through flowering, even flush with it still in there at the end...feeds the microbes in the soil, makes 'em bery bery dense 'n heavy...oh, and sweeeeet!!

I hop 3 times on my left foot, toss a tad of sugar over my right shoulder while singing Hendrix' Foxy Lady and man you should see my buds. They laugh their ass off.

huh? but seriously a good carbohydrate source is beneficial particularly in soil grows.

I heard that you should not use molasses with mix/soil.I use Hornby's Big Bud,my flowering nutes and cane sugar.I wear a bra on my head and sing Ganja Farmer by Marlon Asha while doing a seizure dance!

I can see that some people drank the sugar instead of feeding the plants, lol. Uncle Ben, you funny...

Fermented sugar water.....

As an aside, it's my understanding that the sugar molecule, in any form (sucrose, fructose, lactose, etc.) is too large to move across the root's epidermal gradient into the plant, unlike salts such as potassium chloride. Some folks say molasses feeds the soil's microbes. I've done experiments with molasses and found it much better suited for flapjacks.

it will significantly increase finish weight of buds and raise resin content particularly in soil. i have grown the same clone with and without a carb source bud size and weight were better with the carb supplemented grow. healthy roots=healthy plant=good harvest weight. and as far as plants being able or unable to directly absorb sugars there is some debate depending who you ask or what you read. i see no reason why carb sources like deoxy ribose could not be directly used by the plant. in my grows carb sources seem are helpful overall and are cheap anyways.

I'm planning on trying maple sap tapped straight out of the tree (already processed by the tree to sustain itself) on one plant 4 wks into flowering. Any thoughts?

 

[bicycle racer]

never tried that it should be ok might have some unknown effect from ambient plant hormones in the maple sap but again i have never used that method.
