molasses most definitely improve yield and quality in a soil grow. the cannabis(and all for that matter) plant feeds microbes the chelate nutrients with carbs. instead of having to use it's own carbs to feed said micro-organisms, the grower can feed them with molasses or any other simple carbohydrate. so your guarantee that molasses had nothing to do with it just made you look pretty silly. i thought drs were smart...

It's cool if you want to run it I used to but I've stopped with almost every additive besides silica and am down to base nutes an enzyme and pk all canna except silica. Idk this is another one that's arguable since I've stopped haven't noticed difference in fact partner grew the sickest weed I've ever seen with just the canna line no additives and pulled 35lbs off 14 gavitas. Add it if you want kind of a personal preference thing I can see it both ways but again I've stopped using additives having good genetics is more important and a good environment

where did you see me say it was needed? your cannabis plant feeds the mycorrhizal fungi and bacteria with IT'S OWN CARBS. how does the plant make carbs? it expends energy. so saving your plant from having to expend energy can increase yield. instead your plant can use these carbs for itself. did i say it will turn a 8oz plant into a 1lb plant? no.

thats right if u growin synthetic, but organic with living soil it does a lot for the microorganisms , and beneficial bacteria.

You just said improves yield and quality I never said you said it turn 8oz into a lb either why you all defensive lol it's molasses if you run organics it's your best friend in would it helps make a healthy root Zone and keep the plants happy. All I'm saying is its a personal preference thing I've stopped running it and there's no difference

Exactly I mean bottled nutes it can do work it only kills microbial life if salt builds up I've had mushrooms and shit in my tupur and I run canna and I have friends with same thing running canna. That being said if you run high synthetics and killing your microbial life there's no point in running it

Molasses hits the spot late in flower. My buds seem to swell for a longer period of time when I give em a little molasses in weeks 6 & 7 (of 8 wk cycle). It's almost like the plant hoards all the sugar at the end, which isn't good for soil microbes.

Gotta remember their natural swell comes at that time as well normally not saying you weren't helping the root zonejust saying the swell is a natural response from the plants in weeks 7-8-9 strain dependent
Again if your not running organics it's a personal preference thing

Starches are just a kind of carb.

thanks you again. i knew that in the 9th grade. all starches are simple glucose bonded together. the plant uses glucose to make ATP.
