i'm using soil by the way how much does fox farm cost? us dollars please i would like to know before i go to the store today. please please comment otherwise you'll be able to find updates soon.

Molasses (use the unsulphurated, first run, or black strap kind), are high in complex carbohydrates that help the beneficial bacteria eat the bad stuff in your soil and chelate trace elements, as well as the big ones, so your plant can absorb the nutes better with a lower chance of burn. The plant gets more of a benifit from the bacteria the molasses feed than the molasses itself. Do no use with hydroponics.

what they said, and ff's soil runs about $15/ 20 for like the cubic yard bag, depending on where your at.. its not all that pricey, and well worth it..

molasses isn't neccessary unless you have issues.

As far as fox farm? Are you looking to pay retail or wholesale? I can do both!

sure molasses isnt absolutely vital to keep the plant alive but why not use something that will greatly help your plants growth.(well, the microbacteria technically are whats helping i guess). mix in 1 tbs or so in 1 gallon of water, look for the word blackstrap on it. you want to know how much it can be had for online or retail?(the foxfarm) how much do you need?

i will be getting some molasses cause one of my plants actually isn't doing so good.
as for the fox farm do they come in 5 gal bags or how do they package them? i never found the store yesterday

this site here has the best prices ive seen so far, im not sure about what it would cost at the local hydro store, they probally mark it up quite a bit. http://htgsupply.com/nutrientsubcategories.asp?categoryID=2
