molasses feeding

hi what is it about molasses. i heard it makes for bigger buds. is this true and how do i use it. as much infor as possible please

i am three weeks into flower stage now their about 2 foot tall and plenty of the good stuff appearing. i am feeding with bio bloom and top max and super thrive.

alternating water and feed every day. when i feed i add in just a little of the super thrive. when i feed i put in the bio and the topmax. ph of water 6.7

indoor with hps 600 watt.

so thats the background . just wondering what the situation is with molasses

thanks buds

hi mate, sounds like your doing great, mollassess work, up to 2tea spoons per gallon with all your other bits ph ed as normal.. bigger buds? yes/maybe sweeter taste? some say/maybe..

i think it helps, it certainly doesnt harm

From what ive seen using it it adds a really sweet fruity smell and they look like they r covered in sugar and still have between 3-5 weeks left with my nuggets....I use it every other feed and water...And the last week will be just water and mollassas but i only use 1 tsp per gallon....Make sure u get BLACKSTRAP mollassas...GL

every tried smoking sugar? dosent taste like sugar im guessing, so i dont think it add's a sweeter tast to the buds at all....but i do 99% believe it helps the plants some way..

I just started using Molasses. I went to a place called Cash & Carry and they had a gallon of UnSulphured Molasses for $10 bucks. I use 2 tablespoons per gallon. I have heard many great things about increased yield and am excited about using it.

tablespoons or teaspoons?

tea i was told ....

I use a Tablespoon per Gal, every watering in flower, all the way til harvest.

My understanding is carbohydrates in the molasses feed the beneficial microbes in the soil and help them to consume any extra nutrients hanging around. That delivers more nutrients in a more easily digestible form to the roots. I believe that is the standing theory. I've been looking in to it quite a bit lately and will be adding it to my next feeding.

I use 1TBSP per gallon weekly when flowering - up to 10 days prior to harvest. A great addition to the Super Soil recipe. All resin producing plants require carbohydrates which the molasses provides - read that on here somewhere. Also, only use unsulphured black strap molasses for the best results.
I have noticed improved smell, taste & yield since I began using it.

yes molasse works wonders

i use topmaxx and canna a and b base
im only doing 3 plants in the test but im just doing half a teaspoon with a baby bowl of boiling water to break it down then each just pour some in,, plantrs reacting,well to be honest ther looking great!
week 3 or 4 or summert and looking fine,, fukin measurements, wats that about, the plant tells u if it is not likey,likey....sticky,sticky

Watering with molasses has done nothing but feed fungus' and cause mold from what I've seen personally.

molasses ONLY helps to feed the organics in the soil. nothing else. it does not get absorbed into the flowers nor makes the flowers taste any better. I do a molasses feed 1x a week in veg and flower, as I run FFOF, along with my other feeding and watering regimen. 1 tablespoon per 1 gal of water.

Stop, and re-think your use of super-thrive... ST [studied by Uncle Ben-here] ST only works in the very young root complex of young seedlings or clones... ST feeds the roots, but UB found with continued use, in Bud, it actually stalled the bud process, and added time for the plant to finish...
Molasses, I only use in Bud, mix with my water, Haha, it doesn't hurt, does it help buds get bigger? IDK... like I said, it doesn't hurt, and GF loves mixing and using it... Not gonna argue with her about it....

molasess work but it would seem its the mineral content in it that helps the most, seems to have alot of goodies in it lol
