Grandma's Unsulphured Molasses

what are you hoping to get off that one?

I've been using 2 tablespoons per gal of spring creek water per plant per week and it does takes awhile to dissolve. Haven't seen any problems.

im hoping for an oz from that one and then a half off of the other three i have

i dont get it? why does everyone say it takes awhile for it to dissolve...i pour it in..shake it real good...then BAM its dissolved in less then 20 seconds...

yeah, gotta shake or stir. If you don't it goes to the bottom like thick sludge.

I've used "Grandma's" at 2 Tbl. spoons per gallon with good results but the best thing for molasses is to put in the baked beans with brown sugar. Yummy!

Thanks for all your input! Can't wait to start using the molaaaaaaasses

I use a small circulating pump in my res to stir things up.

What exactly is the purpose of using molasses?

I made a mixture today and it dissolved in seconds! All you guys have to do is let the molasses trickle down a stream of boiling water as you pour it out your tablespoon.

rolhalo molasses is used to fatten up the buds and make them sweeter.

Well if your putting it in boiling water then you still have to let it sit to cool.

No, just use the hot water to pour in the little bit of molasses. Then add the other 3 1/2 quarts of cold water. Well at least mine was instantly cooled off

does the PH of the water matter?

and to let you no you can flush with the molasses and grandmas is like the monopoly on molasses its all you can get anywhere except specialty stores or something but its unsulfered... and im pretty sure that means its like the black strap but lots of people use it it what im using currently and theres not complaints

what part of FL you from? there all over where im at lol. to rolhalo and marley molasses some growers use it because its supposed to make the buds swell and help nutrient intake also(i think).

i use molasses and like it and i use a shit load probably like 3 table spoons full i dont measure i just get a new gallon of water pour a little out then pour the molasses in and violently shake it for like 10 seconds and then its good to go for me!

ive used it in flowering and right now im using it in veg every few waterings cuz i know it cant hurt

" i dont get it? why does everyone say it takes awhile for it to dissolve...i pour it in..shake it real good...then BAM its dissolved in less then 20 seconds..."

My guess is that keeping the Molasses at a warm temp will help dissolve it in the water, also keep the water at a warm(er) temp than usual will help, but not too warm as it would hurt the roots so I am told. Also, am I wrong or did I read where somewhere said they were using molasses in a hydo system? I though you are NEVER supposed to use to do that? Good luck to everyone, I am using a gal of grandmam's as we speak and I will report back, I'm using 2 Table Spoons to a Gal and flushing each plant with 3 Gals

molasses = Acidic as hell. it will turn soil into cid.
