Which molasses is that? Sugar beet, cane, distillery...barbados, dark, or blackstrap? :eyesmoke:

I should think it's the "end of story" for everyone....including yourself...in this, or any other, thread on this topic. Since nobody here, despite their claims, has constructed an experiment then everything claimed is purely speculative. What remains to the story is that which we can deduce...

The molasses produced as a waste product from the refinement of sugar beets has only trace nitrogen. The molasses produced as a waste product from distilling processes contains 0.7 nitrogen, the molasses created from..... The molasses you purchase from the store is generally a blended product...

Actually, the NPK value of molasses is generally known to be 1-0-5. It's not listed, because molasses is marketed as a food product for humans and livestock rather than a fertilizer. If you aren't employing some manner of organic growing method, which is to say you're seeking to create...

Precisely. The only time I use molasses (1tbsp per gallon) is when I'm mixing my soil. I grow "organic", which is to say I construct soil and never fertilize, rather than use a soil-less substrate through which I pour a nutrient solution on a regular basis. Which is what much container-grown pot...

I've never done any formal experimentation, because as a person with no small scientific and engineering background, I realize I don't have the space or the time or the desire to do all that work establishing control groups, precisely measuring everything everywhere to eliminate variation...

My experience with recent (last ten years) bagseeds is that you'll get some pretty weak plants initially that exhibit reduced vigor, and are very difficult to grow to any satisfying size or yield. However, if you employ bagseed from mutliple sources and permit them to pollinate one another, the...

Hey man, you sound like you're in the same basic climate I'm in. I'm sure there is a wide spectrum of opinion on how much light to use there, and of what sort, but if it were me I'd probably go with two 400w HID fixtures. As regards the Winter period, my room is not climate controlled, so I...

Heh heh heh! Here's what I do. After my seeds have popped in the jiffy pellets, I put them into 3-gallon pots of soil. I have plastic drip trays under each pot to catch drainage. I tip or lift each pot now, to "calibrate" my arm to the weight of the pot when it was dry. Whenever the pot gets...

Howdy guys, new to the board, old to the game. I don't use any "advanced nutes" at all. Like Homebrewer says, they are all just packaging and marketing scams to make as much money as possible from growers with no measurable benefit over anything you can find at Home Depot. Plants have pretty...
