As the title sais.. Is it possible to use 100% natural fruit juices and cane sugar as molasses?

I been looking around the nearby shops around here for unrefined molasse, without luck. However I found some unrefined cane sugar. On the back it sais that the more brown this sugar is, the more molasses was used to make it. And its just molasses without any water in it. So this should be allright to use or not? IF so how much should I be using?

Also I found some 100% natural fruit juices. No additives what so ever. Nothing but squeezed fruits.
I bought 1 liter of apple juice and 1 liter of pink grape. I was wondering if these juice's is ok to use in the watering. If it is, how much should I use?

Also would these juice's give a different taste to the final product, if used regularly?

Anny thoughts, anyone used other stuff then molasses?

This stuff is in almost every grocery store:




The robust is best. I don't know where you're located but they sell it at Smart & Final too. Unrefined sugar can be used and will help, but it doesn't have the benefits of straight molasses. All that dark shit is good for your plants. I really have no idea if fruit juices are beneficial so I'll defer to someone more knowledgeable.

no..no fruit juices and leave the sugar on the shelf. what you want is UNsulphured mollases not unrefined. and unsulphared mollases can be found in any baking isle of any market or grocery store :joint:

It could be done in hydro but it can get messy, yes. I'd suggest using an airstone in your rez to alleviate foam developing if you decide to try it.

i dillute the mollases a bit with water and boil them together on a stove to get a better consistency that mixes better...if added straight to the res it usually ends up on the bottom of the res and swings your ph. mollases is not advisable though on any system that uses drip or mist systems...nft and ebb n flow is ok.
