Molasses is good during flowering,there are so many different way's of adding it,personally i mixed 5 dessert spoons of raw black strap organic cane molasses to ten litres of water,put an air stone in it and used it twice weekly along side my nute's from week 3 of flowering,there are so many different train's of thought on how to use molasses that i got confused,everyone think's their way is the right way and they may all be right,but in the end i gave up and decided to use a bud booster instead(cannaboost organic)!!

farther away you don't wanna damage the root's,dish soap works too but not for penetration of the soil,it make's the water "wetter" believe it or not,and allows it to be absorbed quicker by the root mass,use a bio degradeable fragrance free soap if you can to be on the safe side,but it can play havoc with your ph,just a few drops is all you need in 10litres of water!!

After it penetrates you just water with normal ph'd water. I have done it and it works great.

An air stone rigged up to an aquarium pump to make bubble'd,the stuff you use for cooking is fine,i used to "borrow" it from work the whole time,you use the air stone to stop the stuff from over fermenting,and of course you dilute it how else would you get the thick goup down into the soil :)

If they are drooping down that's when it need's water the curling tip's are when too much water is present in the soil,the plant is sucking it up but it has no where to go :)

Yeah molassess is a raw or unrefined sugar,as withh all sugars when it's mixed in water it start's to ferment and give off C02,believe me it stinks worse than my feet when it happen's!!

I'll be honest i don't think molasses ever made a huge difference to any of my grow's it did however in my humble opinion mask the real flavour of the bud and made it taste too sweet !
