correct me if im on the wrong track here, but wouldnt the point of using the sugar over molasses be because of the lack of nutrient?

I use a chemical bloom nutrient, i wouldnt want to go adding molasses if they have P or K because im already suppling them via my chemicals.

So in my mind I would use the sugar over molasses to get the extra glucose to the buds resulting in the sticky sweetness, and not burning my plants from over fert.

Im inexparienced but this is the drift i caught from this?

MOlases will not burn your plants and it one of the main ingredints in most super blooms (nutes) and will act as a catylist for other nutes you are useing, very safe and effective. One must try it and decied for themselfs.

Start with 2 TBL per gallon and add to whatever ou are giving them until harvest. I either get milk jugs and add 2 tbls to each and let sit for 2-3 days or heat up a cup of water in microwave and add 2 tbls so it dissolves faster.
Try the MOlases it is a postive. And has much more (x10) nutrients than suc....

These are accurate dosages for these sweeteners. However I would not recommend microwaving your water, but that's just personal preference. I heat it up on the stone. You don't want to boil it, but warm it to help dissolve the sugars.
Use molasses and sucanat if you like! But don't feed into the statement that molasses has 10x the nutrients. That is just not factual. Sugars are called complex carbs for a reason. We're talking micros, and macros. There are minerals, and nutrients of these sugars that are robbed by the refining process. Both have their strengths and weakness, like anything. It's a matter of opinion, and experience. I personally, unlike golden have and continue to use both sucanat, and molasses. They are best be used together, as they are not the same thing. The properties are changed by the refining process. Molasses is highly processed, sucanat is not. I might even add some honey, or agave nectar. You don't need to worry about overloading your plants with sucanat. They will use what they can extract and the rest will be used when needed. Just a much cheaper alternative to chemically processed boosters. peace.

So how much sucant to a gallon of water when using soil as a medium? Would it even effect Fox Farm Ocean Forest (soil)?

So Money I would like to know what suculant has in it? What minerals? I know for a fact 1 TBL molases has
730mgs of Potassium
8% magnesium
10 grams of sugar
Vitamin b6
Potassium is what you want when flowering and suculant has 20 mg Potassium.
Seems Molases is more than X10 when it comes to what counts.

yo money, when we gonna hear about some kind of dosage? I've been wanting to use this stuff ever since I first looked at your thread a while back, but you never answered my or anyone else's questions about some kind of estimate (even rough) of how much to use. I hope you respond, because I'm approaching week 5 of 12/12 and I've had this sucant stuff sitting in my cupboard for weeks.

*edit - BTW I'm running 18 gal DWC... don't pay attention to the title of my sig. I need to change it, because I switched my grow to DWC.

Your plants don't use sugar directly. Sugar gives extra food to the microorganisms in the soil. The microorganisms feed the roots. More sugar = more microorganisms = more food for your plant. Ive tried other sugars besides molasses and they only attract bugs. I don't want to rip on your thread but if you're telling people this "Sucanat" is better than molasses for ganja than I have to disagree.

most people have their bs opinions... when you add mol it's not for blooming so looking for potassium or any other growth factors may aid but it's not needed. with a chemistry in mind. using sugars will aid in the growth and uptake of plants. just like how we use sugars or carbs for performance.

hey would sugar rock help? it is said to be all natural withoun any preservatives...would honey work as well? ima try look for sucanat tomorrow in the health store or natural honey. how do you feed your plants with it though? do i dissolve it? so you mean to say thay regular white or brown sugar wont do the trick? would it hurt my plant just in case i try putting some
