should I use molasses or fox farm nutes?

might wanna check your humidity, temp or slow down on water. could be the beginning of a pH problem.

I water her like every couple of days. When I do its just a simple bottle of water. I never over do it. The temp is at 75-80 with the lights on. Then its about 65 -70 when off. I only been using water on her. I have not used anything on her yet.

try poking holes to check moisture before watering, should be dry until the last couple inches. or once the holes in your topsoil seal up, it should be dry.
if your watering accordingly might want to try and flush with rainwater next time or at least water with about 6.6-6.7 pH

always glad to help, the holes also help break root endings so 2 new roots grow in replacement of said root, its the job of an earth worm but can easily be done with a pencil. as well as help air flow get to the roots and helping them breathe, just one thing youll learn after growing for a while and dealing with FLs rainy season, those holes have saved many plants from overwatering.

From personal experience I have used both at the same time. The buds were absolutely larger than without them but thats what they are supposed to do. I only ever got knats when using the molasses. Use blackstrap as it is much more rich in the good stuff. Health food stores usually carry it. I was using Beastie Blooms powder while using molasses. The BB powder is very strong and you need to to test one plant first cause some plants are really sensitive to it, my SLH just about died from it. When you get the BB powder right your buds will swell like Megan Fox's lips.

pretty sure gnats are caused by humidity and overwatering rather than molasses, been using it for years and never had that problem.

I have grandmas molasses. I also have the beastie blooms too. It says to use 0.25 of the nute. I only have 1 plant going. So its hard to test.

Yes that look okay, cfl,s work better on their side like you have those. I see where people where using two per plant, so five are probably enough. I use a 400w hps for flower, 3 t-12 in my smaller box and I do have 3 spot light and 1 cfl in my clone veg. box. My grow is in my sig. at bottom of post check it out...rw
You live in Cali.?
