Yea I knew it was to good to be true. And its MY FAULT!
It worked great for the first three weeks I used it. The problem is if you don't have a PH pen you can't tell that it jacks your PH down into toxic acid land. Using a liquid tester was useless since it changes the color of the water. So here I am adding 1 TBS of Moll to my 6.0 water... shit I was likely watering with 4.0 or so....
I can't afford a PH pen at the moment.
Had the most amazing buds I have grown. I am 5 weeks in to 12/12. Big fucking cola on my Casey Jones... Today I checked my girls and about half of the leaves have turned yellow and are dropping. PANIC !!! Flushed with water but I am in soil (NEVER AGAIN!!!). Guessing I will wait till the next light cycle and flush again untill the run off is 7.0? Then do I add nutrients again? and add another week or so to the flowering. I'm I just fucked? Will overwatering to flush be just as bad at this point?
God damn I am such an idiot. I never should have added MOL without knowing more. So depressed this morning. Such a fucking newbie... and now that I add up all I spent on this grow set up I could have just bought chronic for half a year... stupid... looser
I did almost exactly what you did about 5 months ago.
Was using molasses for the first time and liking the results.
Filled up my 50 gal. barrel with a mix and watered with it.
2-3 days later I was using the same stuff, but it developed a foam layer on top and smelled funky.
I used it anyway and was shocked the next day when my girls were crispy fried all over the fan leaves.
It didn't happen to the same degree with all plants.
Some strains were slightly affected, others were never the same.
The end resulting flowers were bland and probably half as potent as they would have been.
The moral to the story is this.
Fresh molasses is good.
Old molasses bad.
Good luck with these next few weeks.
I would do as you are, with the flushing and light nutes from here on out.
