Hey fellas! A has anyone tried using molasses as a spray? I ran across this article & was wondering? http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/feeding-plants-with-molasses.htm
I'm not buying into foliar spraying molasses . Molasses does one thing. It feeds microbes in the soil that break down nutrients for the plant to absorb. Why spray it on the leafs ? There are some micro elements in molasses but they are all so in the soil or when you water in the molasses. I just don't feel it's a good thing to spray sticky stuff on your leafs. IMHO.

Sorry for re-posting this but if anyine has an opinion on what this is that would be great.
I have been assuming it was insects doing it but I've hit the plants with neem,SB plant invigorator, BT, Garlic insect killer and provado bug killer and a general purpose bug killer, surely between that lot they are capable of wiping out an array of pests.
I'm wondering now if something is attacking the roots and although there's no clawing as such Is it possible it could be N toxicity.
PH going in between 6.4-6.7, can't check run off but soil is about 7.1 or 2 but again not sure how reliable ebay soil tester is.
Been feeding fish mix every watering at half strength roughl and full strenght flora micro eabout once a month.
It's happening on 3 or maybe 4 plants CAM00423.jpgCAM00424.jpgCAM00426.jpgCAM00427.jpgCAM00425.jpg

Pic 2 looks like grasshopper feeding. I whacked a few off my plants today, they just wait until after it rains when the insecticides have washed off.

Yet a few of your leaves also look malformed during veg...so dunno.
