The molasses can be used in hydro just not aero grows. When I use it and have used it over the years the mixture is 2 tablespoons of black strap moilasses per gallon of water. Do this once each res change or once a week basically as you should be changing your res at least once a week. I disolve it in a gallon of warm water and stir til it is disolved and the water is an even brown then add it to the res and mix again. Use blackstrap molasses such as Grandmas shown in the thread as it has no sulpher. Do not add plain sugar or brown sugar to your res it is not good. In soil I would give molasses no more then possibly twice a week as it will make an nvite to insects and can cause mold growth on your soil medium since your not chnaging the soil during the grow. The burst of carbohydrates helps the plants use thier nutrients better and promotes faster cell division and resin producrion ie thicker plants, heavier buds and more crystals. You can by refined products that are made from molasses for hydro such as Sweet, Sugar daddy, Sweet Leaf and carbo load all do about the same. To add wiegfht and heavy crystals and harden flowers good additives are like Humboldt County's gravity and fox farm bestie Bloomz and Cha-Ching

i was considering Gravity but it is sooo easy to screw up with it.
it can cause big issues if you over use it. they even warn you on the bottle less is better and it is expensive as all hell

molasses has just about no down side. i break a bottle in half and shake it with water and then add it to my watering.
i also have my feeder tubes just below soil surface so my soil always looks dry on top.
if you dig in 1/2 inch after water you hit moisture.
keeps the buggies down
also molasses makes the buds sticky and sweet.

molasses flush?
the idea came to me when i started understanding why the flush.
we flush to remove the salts from the nutes.
so for me i flush in soil so i am generally flushing for around 2 weeks.
i dont want to have my plants hurting during the last 2 weeks 2 weeks is a long time to just hammer them with Water.
yes there is residual nutrients in the soil but i like the idea of keeping the sugar going as it provides something for the plants to convert without the salts. my plants rock till the day i pull them. when i cut them they are like fucking glue. i cant touch anything or i pick up crap on my hands.

Weed comes in many flavors; sweet, citrus, hazy, tangy... You get the idea...
I think it's all just an old wives tale, the characteristics of the plant will only be enhanced by doing things properly.
Don't listen to this moroons... they are all probably just jealous of you and want to ruin your beloved crop, you shouldn't even be letting people know what you're doing unless you have a medical permit or something.
Just stick with what works, and remember just because somebody on this forum as well tells you something doesn't mean it's carved in stone.

But, what do I know...

good luck

lol guess you know not a lot lol Do as you want he just asked for thoughts and opions and we gave some from expirence and research. if you d like to spray sugar water on your plants Tuanis go right ahead hope it umm turns out good for you.......psstr everone else don't do it they will die and mold.You can enhance all natural flavors and aroma and even modify it to an extent. Sweet comes in citrus and berry and the aroma from each is distinctive and comes through in the crop. The taste is enhanced as it ampl,ifies the plants resin production so it increases the amount of flavor and aroma. i have used both and like both but prefer the wild berry myself. But like he said dont listen to all of us non growers who know nothing and are just jealous sluts tryin to ruin your grows lol what a stroke comment didnt even offer any advise or thoughts from expirence.

It sounds as if I'm referring to the people on this thread as moroons... Sorry, I was referring to the people advicing about sugar water.
The molasses issue I never heard before, more info please...

Thanks

Glad you clarified as your were about to not make friends lol.. The molasses adds carbs that plants use to make more resin and use nutrients beter and thicker stalks and root balls which gives more yield the more resin the heavier the buds

Sorry, my english is limited by the fact that I assisted high school in the states and did junior and senior years only, then came back to Costa Rica. I'm not american and english is a second language to me. Will try to put more attention to my writing skills, as it's not my intention to hurt or minimize nobody in here. I'll be the first one to say I don't know shit about this, and am only learning.

The molasses thing sounds awesome, and just so you know, they use molasses here in Costa to add a little more grip to gravel roads, so it's cheap... They literally throw it on the ground to make the roads less dusty, hahaha...

Such is our world...

Love, tuanis.

yeah i dont really advocate mollases either in my views its still sugar water.. i mentioned it because theres a few ppl on this forumm that seem to love the stuff..

i think oth are just ways of doing the same thing making your buds weigh more with sugars.. in my oppinion its a cheap trick used by nob heads (not mollases tho although i dont agree or believe half the things im refering to sugar water) but yeah there ya go.

you could always shake a can of coke or fanta over your buds if thats what you wanted lol.. ppl do that too.. this is all GRIT weed ppl that do this actually do nothing to benifit anyone lol.

just thought i should clarify that sorry.

or a waste of money lol. im not shitting you ppl do it.

the dummies guide to associating with rip off merchants

1: give the grit weed back
2: flatten hand
3: swing in backwards motion hard and fast, making sure to make contact with there face
4: find some good buds
or if you know you cant get anything else simply skip step 1...

also dont do this if your some skinny little dweeb.. youll most likely get your ass whooped lol

here is th e thing tho
it is proven fact that complex sugars are what a plant needs. plants use sugars by utilizing root uptake this is hardly cheating.
the sugars in molasses are a nutrient just as any other nutrient.
if it were not the plant would not bother with it.
the fact that it helps the plant produce bigger buds is a bonus and the overall goal here.
is it cheating??
i think not the buds are not only bigger but completely thc laden.
my buds are not sticky with sugar but they are STICKY with Resin

i suspect you use sugars in your grow and do not even know you are doing it.
most nutes contain them in one form or another.
i choose to do it because i notice my plants love the stuff.

I have seen the results of sugar water on plants- half dead looking is the result. No good reason for it and spraying sugar on curing buds to make them look more crystalline is just unethical and dangerous to people's health. When sugar hits the blood stream from fired inhalation it can cause people who have sugar problems to have very negative reactions. Diabetics, hypoglycemics and folks with addiction problems will be so bummed when they think they are smoking herbs and instead are smoking sugar. Big tobacco does this to make it more addictive. So Lame. Just do the right thing and grow good stuff with consistency and you will be well respected over the long haul and known for growing the kind.... :weed:

Do not do it! If you want to know what smoking sugar tastes like, pack yourself a bowl of sugar, and proceed to smoke. After you're done coughing your ass off then decide weather or not you want to spray it on your weed.

not a good idea. sugar water will draw all kinds of bad flying insects to your plant. bad bad idea... 3 ounces of molasses in a gallon of water. 1/2 gallon per outside plant. yuo will be amazed at the new growth and yuor plants will start to smell real skunky. good luck!

Jorge Cervantes, the dude who wrote the bible on growing weed says watering with sugar water will make the buds swell up 20% in the last four weeks of flowering. Suger is the "secret" ingredients in many bloom booster type fertilizers. So on this subject i'm gonna take his advice. Peace

I thought Jorge said to use molasses as a type of sugar, not use straight sugar. I'm not trying to call you out or anything just curious. I am using a molasses extreme organic blend made for growing, they seem to like it.

I tend to go with the folks who've been studying mj for nearly their whole life, so I'll put in my vote for adding carbs in the last four weeks.

But not molasses. Why? Too many home growers haven't studied their tap water reports. My tap water is well over 200ppm, and that 200ppm is composed of quite a bit of calcium -- enough to have caused me serious problems during my grow.

So . . . I'm not going to use molasses, when it's full of nutes. I'd rather let my "official" hydro solutions (GH products) provide the nutes in exactly the ratios I want . . . and add either a professional bud booster with a clear nutrient label, or plain raw sugar.

Sure, it has some trace nutes, too -- but molasses is way more stocked with various nutes than sugar.

Conclusions. Sugar is safe and probably helpful. Cervantes is a pretty reliable source of info. And don't use molasses if you have plants that are nute-sensitive.

IMHO,
