Just would like to know if it would be ok to use molasses during last few weeks of flowering?
I've been told it is only for organic growers and I use nutes.Gh 3 part, Mg soil.
Can I still use Molasses for final feed and during flushing last 2 weeks? Or do you flush out the nutes and molasses?

People say yes some say no? Which is it???

if you're not using organics (with beneficial fungi and bacteria in the soil) then the molasses is useless. Plants can't break it down and absorb it.

Molasses is food for your soil, not your plants.

thanks for the rep.

even with organics I wouldn't flush with it! I only give my plants molasses twice during their entire life, and only between weeks 3-6 of flowering.

No problem man. Now I just need to convince others to stop...they are adding every feed + nutes! wow, some people need to chill and absorb the info not jump when they hear a Fart! lol.
Are you are an organic grower?

Every feed would probably lock out nutes since the soil will be full of mineral salts.

I'd like to think I'm an organic, though since I'm growing indoors for personal use with limited space, I'm not into making my own "super soil" or brewing my own teas, etc.

I just use ready-made organic nutes. Haters talk s#it, but I can afford it and they work perfectly for me.

Very nice they are coming along nicely!
I haven't used the molasses and probably won't cuz I only have one last feed nutes today and then start to flush next week...6weeks today of flowering. 50% Red hairs. Indica.
Maybe I should post some pics of mine?
Still new so I ....

Ever made a compost tea? I give my organic plants a compost tea every other watering. They love it :)

dude, I live in a small appartment with my wife. My grow room is in the kitchen! she puts up with my growing/blazing, but there are limits :D

Once I move outta the city and get a bigger crib I'll definitely step up my growing game and do my own composts.

I feel ya bro. Sounds like you have a pretty cool wife like mine! The ready made organic nutrients work just as good to be honest. The compost tea is just fun if you like do it yourself stuff. Grow on!
