Molasses is one of the main ingredients in all of the "Finishers" I've been looking at from Fox Farms and Humbolt Co.
Mix with your water and keep feeding right into your final flush, it won't hurt a thing.

Oh, and people let their water stand a lot because so many of us use city water and it's got tons of additional chems in it. Letting it stand 24hrs or at least overnight lets some of the clorine etc.. evaporate out of the water. Supposedly anyways /shrug
I've been doing it, it's a habit I got into, and my plants seem pretty happy with the water so I'm not going to change just now

Molasses is very thick, it'll go straight to the bottom and sit there like glue. Letting it sit for 24 hours lets it dissolve into the water. (it kind of stinks too, so don't smell it out of curiosity like I did)
tps = teaspoon
tbls = tablespoon which is = to 3 teaspoons.
I think the people that say tsp for the molasses are just getting their abbreviations mixed up. I am going with a tablespoon per gallon myself.
You can really tell who is handy in the kitchen and who isn't

Good info with the TABLESPOON/ TEASPOON..lol didnt know the conversion...
I know u let your water sit out for at least 24 hours to evaporate any clorine etc...but why when you put the molasses in it...cant you just shake it up and dissolve it that way?

I started at 1 tbls but am going to work up to a higher dose. Do you know how much is too much? Also are you using the molasses at every watering or just once a week or what?

because the shit is thick as hell, you can shake all day and the water will swirl around and the molasses will still be stuck to the bottom. You're just going to have to try it for yourself and see.

Im using G-mas molasses and i just pour it in then shake for about 20 seconds and its completely gone...just turns the water all dark and amber...nothin left

cool thanks for the input on that. I guess I'll stop at 1 1/2 to 2 just for safe keeping.
I also heard adding a half a cup of apple juice to it helps. I think that is a fairly new theory so I'm going to wait on that one for now.

Are you sure it isn't coming out in a big glob? I like to make sure mine is completely dissolved.

No, it just looks like apple cider in a way....When i pour it in it just goes straight to the bottom...then i shake it real good for 20 seconds and theres nothing left on the bottom...it just dissolves i guess
