Aqua flakes is for hydroponics isnt it? I wouldnt be adding any of those products into my reservoir. Not only would they probably clog your whole system eventually I dont think theres a reason to run any molasses or sweetener (carb) in hydroponics.
If your running soil I would say it would be beneficial to feed microbes and benes. Im in a toss up over it doing anything other than that for the plant. People swear by molasses i got a buddy who uses it in coco with 3 part gh as a boost in bloom but idk. Ive never used it.
Maybe someone else could chime in with better info on this subject.
But using it in hydroponics would be foolish IMHO.
Molasses does not provide any notable nutritional value to your plant, other then
some micro nutrients
No Molasses in hydro....
SWEET RAW WILL WORK WELL in HYDRO !!!! It was designed as a specific molasses replacement (with high Mg for other added benefits) in hydro!
Doc
WHOA, hold it there.....I just read your follow up's
When running soil less.....Microbes CAN BE introduced and used in media like peat and coco (That are not res fed).....Therefor, Molasses can be used to feed the heard in small dose's!!! No problems.
Molasses should NOT be used for any other style of hydro! PERIOD.....
I know plant science and all the terminology....It's NOT for the birds! I try not to use to many of the big science words, so guys like ya'all can understand what I'm trying to convey to you....
I have a news flash for you sonny.....Nutrient companies and their labs are in it for the money...YOUR money! MOST of them lie, cheat and steal from YOU!
Advanced Nutrients
House and Garden
and a HUGE portion of the rest make stupid claims and lead you to products you in no way need to get what I can do on my own!
Root inoculant (correct spelling) What for? Your adding Myco's to the soil correct? What do you think that "root inoculant" is? The myco's that live on the roots will move there and colonise by them selves.....You just paid for something you didn't need!
What is this flushing medias thing? The ONLY media that NEEDS an occasional minor flush is Coco......Flushing can cause more problems then it solves in ANYTHING else!
Soil = water only or a Nice balanced soil that you can feed with teas as needed.
Nutrient = one and I mean 1 powder in a tub can do just as well if not BETTER then all those snake oil hucksters that you make rich! It's that science that some of us learned that make that the difference! Ok and decades of growing don't hurt.....
You kinda touched a nerve Cannabil.....
