Maybe if you said "some"
but not "any"


Your argument to not feeding the plant anything isn't valid for molasses
if you starved a plant and then gave it molasses it still wouldn't grow.
the limiting factors aren't going to be there

Mollasses is good shit, but it's not even in my top ten as my essential grow supplies

[/QUOTE]My point is, molasses shows results as a food regarding potassium and carbs. It isn't a complete nutrient. It is not essential, but it does work to grow trichomes.[/QUOTE]
You don't feed the plant molasses ffs you really don't get it, it's for the bacteria to help them when they are hungry and give them a power snack, you can feed your microherd other shit that works too man you don't understand organics, go read teaming with microbes you really need to learn about the soil web I can't stress that enough its not about feeding the plant molasses is too complex for a plant to break down.

Does not matter what your "elite clone" has. Let's get ours tested together. Or do a double blind test. That's where the facts are. I have an HSO Chemdog coming in I guarantee will match yours in potency.

We now have 16 yay, 1 nay. It seems to me that other people are also of the same opinion as I am and that you are the dissenting opinion.

I voted yay cause I use it , to feed my microbes not my plant...You gotta read your questions wording it just asking if people use it , which we all do, but not how you are thinking it doesn't feed the plant wtf...

The microbes eat it and shit out what the plants take up. When you feed the microbes, you're still feeding the plant.

Yeah but other people are using other things other than molasses and getting great to excellent results, there's not just 1 way to skin a cat you know....

Did you really just compare dv percentages or ra's of what a human should eat to a plant?..

It doesnt absorb Ca it doesnt need huh?

And the extra K just sits there?

Iron's a trace mineral, read it again, TRACE MINERAL.

Knowing you think these two things, i can devise a lot, about what you dont know..

See? This was you arguing with me. Trying to say that if it takes up potassium, it should take up Calcium the same. I told you that it doesn't.

I just said earlier, it does the job with excellent results, not that it's better than anything else. I specifically reiterated this. Go check. We're in total agreement.

Molasses doesn't feed the plant tho, you are trying to say it does based on it's human consumption DV% that the bottle says, I don't believe they use chelated iron in molasses but I could be wrong. Humans and plants uptake different things, pretty sure a plant can't break down the majority of stuff in molasses.

Drab spend more time growing and less time on forums and your pictures will start to look much better. I use molasses in teas so I said yay but the shit youre saying is just ridiculous. Molasses will not result in the plant "growing trichomes".

You're right, the plants can't break it down. That's what the microbes are for. Hence why you don't need to use chelates. I thought you said you grew?

I been doing organic longer than you been growing plz don't insult me I can just leave I was trying to help educate a newcomer. Molasses isn't used by the plant to "grow trics" its used to help keep your bacteria alive an thriving not feed specific nutrients, go read teaming with microbes then you will understand how the soil web works I don't think I can explain it well for you.

HAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAW. You can't even properly iterate how organic plants eat and grow! You think the plant takes up whatever is in the organic soil. You don't realize everything in an organic grow is about feeding the soil, not the plant.
