sweet sweet sugar for plants?

hey i was wondering, i read this grow journal and he used molasses during the flowering stage, im about 5 days, mabey a week, and i was going to try it out when i watered today. annyways i don't have molasses but i have pure "michigan maple syrup" from maple trees, any input on if this would work the same? or have positive/negative effects. warm water 1 1/2 tablespoon per 1 gallon of h20 is the method i read about. oh yeah its a 3 gallon potter so it wont need more than a 1/2 gallon, but will i have to re-heat the water every time to use the solution? im kind of in a cold temperature and so are the plants at night...around the low 40s some nights!

just dissolve the syrup in a small amount of hot water first..then add it to your watering jug. You don't need to heat the whole jug...just enough to dissolve the syrup.

I recommend you go get a bottle of molasses from walfart or the grocery store instead though. Lots of good stuff in molasses besides sugar. More than maple syrup has.

Drink!

thanks for the quick and speedy reply, i just got home from class its around 9:30pm now. ill have to wait for tomorrows photo period! but it also gives me time to run to wally-world and get some supply.

to much work to start a new topic so here goes it. whats the worst thing about growing in a cold environment? like when cannabis is exposed to temperatures 35-50 degrees for long periods of time? should i expect a small yeild? weak buds? ect?

yes to all opf the above. Run your light at night to help with the night cold temps. get a heater of some sort that doesn't emit light when it's on.

Drink!

small space heater with temp control should be fine. i got one for my attic grow

I have a small oil filled thermostatically controlled radiator that i bought cheap as chips.
Its 700watts and only comes on when its cold and goes of when its not,so its cheap to run as well and i can grow in the winter.

mmm that sounds like a fire hazard, but sweet as maple syrup!

i am growing in an uncontrollable environment though... in my attic there is no way of building a box with the struts the way they are, plus its only a 4 1/2 foot tall area . but i was doing some reading on scrog? growing i think? and starting 12-20 small 1-2 footers. any input on this?
