If you want to sweeten your smoke up then by all means add blackstrap molasses to your regime in flower and flush.

View attachment 3951323 View attachment 3951314 Hello everybody!!! Long time toker first time grower. Super excited at what I might discover with the fantastic world of growing. My goal is to stay micro and be successful. My first grow is a bagseed in a 1x1x2.5 diy cabinet from a flip house. I have a ton of stuff to learn yet. I'm running 5 23watt cfl bulbs and using a Wal-Mart 5$ fan for ventilation. I believe this might be my stealth cab for life. I've done a few things with my plant those far and am very happy with the outcome. I am hoping to be in flower in about a week. Also have two bagseedlings going as well. I'm going to try to keep them as small as possible. The one thing I do not have yet is a journal. I want to keep track of everything so I can tweak the things I am doing to make sure I am at peak efficiency during the process. I just started my tea blend with Dr.earth organic fertilizer today and will be receiving a bag of fox farms in a couple of days. My plant right now is in just some regular soil that a seed popped up in lol. The seedlings are in miracle grow soil until the fox farm arrives. Well thats about it for me. Happy Growing!!!

Update: painted the cab and installed a 12vdc pc fan. Also put foam around the door to create a seal. I'm very happy with the box. Next thing will be a led light. Hopefully I will be able manage two solo cups in this unit.

Nice cab Will. You could fit 2 solo cups but it will not scale to well as they grow bigger IMO. So for the fan did you just splice the wires to a power adapter? I have about 100 fans and 50 adapters just lying around, I should put them to good use.

I did indeed splice and fit to an adapter I had laying around. As far as the plants getting larger I was going to preemptively train them to stay shorter and not get so tall. We'll see how that goes.

That's what they say it is supposed to make it a bit smoother and make your strain smell a little more intense

If only it were that easy ......I've actually used cinnamon to keep ants from enjoying my greenhouses for years now ......doesn't make my bud cinnamon flavored ....just like putting sugar/molasses in your water won't make your bud any sweeter or smoother .....that's all to do with proper dry/cure ......if plants actually worked that way you could imagine all the flavors and tastes people would do .....molasses mostly keeps your soil live and healthy by feeding it ....good soil = happy plant ....happy plants = good quality bud .....if I were you I'd focus more on drying and curing...than grow myths and snake oils ..GL

Molasses does have it's uses....but changing flavor or the intensity of your smoke isn't one of em ...lol

But I heard that adding Big Mac 'secret sauce' to your soil mix gives your crop a beefy, hearty flavor. This isn't true?

Molasses towards the end of bloom is proven to increase resin production. But yeah I agree he should get the growing using a set nutrient Base down first focusing on getting them from start to finish. Once you know what works. Work on bettering that

Water and molasses at a TBL per gallon is all my girls get at the end ....I was just making the point that it's not guna change the flavor profile........feeding the soil and possibly a little help in the swell department .....those are reasons why most people use molasses....I wish we could change taste and scent that easy .......I'd be smoking Big Mac buds crossed with some Portuguese ox tails ......maybe one day ...lol

Yep I add a tbsp a gallon.not only during flush though. If my new growth yellows a bit I add a small amount of molasses and that tops the iron up just enough in my opinion. Grilled chicken bud and you're talking my language brother ha

I haven't had one from the clown in many years, man. Now and then wifey/friends will request/crave them and I'll turn out a batch. Terribly easy to do at home - the dressing's got a half dozen simple ingredients, 1/8lb beef patties (have the butcher grind a nice $20 roast, never buy 'ground beef'), yellow American, rehydrated onions, shredded iceberg - at about .50 - $1.00 each. Go fresh/real, fuck that clown!

Sometimes a dirty big mac is what's needed to recover from a night on the beverages. Was a bank holiday here Monday. Yesterday was a big mac day lol
