Molasses?

[Bose]

Four weeks today into flower. after reading up on it.Today I started the use of molasses I tsp per gallon. I'm planning to use it one time a week. If you use molasses and recommend a different schedule for use please chime in.

 

[Joe Blows Trees]

I'm using molasses also once a week, just upped it to 1 tbsp.

your schedule would depend on few things eg what else you are using for nutes etc but molasses are one of the best organic water soluble forms of carbon there is highly recommend using it to anyone

Im currently using foxfarm trio.

Can you give me a little more info on when you started its use. What strength and how many weeks from the start until you upped it to tbsp.

 

[Bose]

Can molasses be used up until harvest? Or should I stop when I start my flush.

I started later than I wanted to, week 2 flower, and started with one tspn with water then upped it week 5 to 1 tbsp. I'm gonna use it up to a week or so before harvest. It's up to the grower when they choose to stop, I've read about the pros and cons of both.

 

[Bose]

Thanks. I started late also week four hope it still does my flowers good

Just a reminder that the plant doesn't use molasses, it's provided to feed the microbial population in the soil, which then contributes to better plant growth. If you are not using soil amended with mycorrihizaes or other bacteria, the molasses doesn't do much. You probably know this but wanted to throw it out there. Peace brothas!

Up north here,, the old timers and myself only use it during the last weeks of budding,,, some people even swear it enhances smell and taste

exactly what I was going to say unless your organic ( which fox farm trio is not only the big bloom) everytime you use them your killing the microherd if you had one to begin with so the molasses would have no use the plant alone does not break it down into something usable

Interesting I did not know that.

 

[Bose]

I thought ff was organic

 

[Bose]

I will not be using this next grow

organic bites are tricky some are 100% organic some are not some are organic materials synthetically altered or extracted , if It has a high npk value its prolly not organic , If you want to go truely organic the best way in my opinion is looking into supersoil recipes , ........ I grow mostly organic I use fox farm ocean forest amended with a few things like kelp, fish bone meal , azomite, ewc, and guanos , I LIGHTLY ammend and use Humboldt nutrients natural grow and bloom , flavorful and liquid karma and the occasional. Molasses, I use this until the last two weeks of flowering and then use humboldts big up powder where I completely kill the organic part of it but has doubled my buds density

You don't need molasses. Nor do you need to flush.

 

[researching]

Molasses has benefits such as micro nutes and iron, also carbs aren't bad. Also, if you like to flush, sugars can help with the flush and pull some salts. It can also sweeten the smoke. It's up to you. I used to use it through flush, but had a batch of sour diesel turn out so sweet I didn't enjoy smoking it. It was smooth as shit, but I hashed it.
