why? molasses is a complex sugar, plants can't absorb it till it gets broken down into glucose and sucrose. the only reason to ever put molasses into a pot is if you're running benes, and there are better choices than molasses if that's what you're using it for, because the molasses has to break down into sucrose for the benes to be able to eat it. you could just use straight sucrose. they also like kelp meal and fish emulsion.
molasses isn't bad for your plants, but there are things that do the job a lot better

On the growers website it states that the plant's life cycle is 9-10 weeks and I'm almost at the 10 week mark!!
And they don't look done to me, the nugs are very small and are full with white pistils.
What is wrong with them?
I have 2x32w 6700k and 1x32w 2700k lights. 2 gallon pot with soil and some perlite and i feed them 2-4-8 bloom nutes.
Any advice is much appreciated.

Something is wrong , the plants in the back ground leafs turned straight down in defence mode, it indicates the plant is under attack by bugs, if not mites then perhaps in the root zone.
But something is wrong .
I wish I could see and inspect the plant and conditions in person .
The only reason a plants leafs do that is if it is under attack or in distress for some reason

I could not agree more . Your post is one a pro grower would make .
Molasses will drive your PH way down of not careful .
Lots of better carbs to feed your Bennie's then molasses .

Never go on a seed banks flowering time,They never get it right ,They more often than not put 8 week ,when really it will take 9 sometimes 10 ,if it says its a 9 week strain you can add a extra week on to it ,they do it to sell seeds ,Growers think 8 weeks i have some of that but it all depends on so many factors.

Molasses contains macro and micronutrients including magnesium and sulphur. Is good for other things then bennies. It will increase the weight, flavor and aroma. Yes adding sucrose is better. Carboload is a good product because it contains sucrose, glucose, xyclose and a few other broken down sugars. Sugar isn't plant food. Plants do not process sugar that is basic plant physiology. They can uptake sugar and sugar molecules get wedge in between cell walls. Thats the weight. Nor does molasses lower pH.
@max420thc Maybe if you spent less time smoking on salts and more time reading journal articles and the actual science of what's happening maybe you would know more than brands and complete nonsense about biological organisms, chemical process and physiology you have no grasp on. You are a total ass!

I complimented the OP and gave him a suggestion. Why berate me like a rabid dog for it?

You have done really well with the tools you have to hand @Ogeaca ..
Looks like week 5 to me. Things can be slow going with low light levels but your still doing really well.
As far as Jewlers Loupes try eay or amazon, anything on Ali is coming from china in china mail. You can get the same thing already imported to your country from a local seller on ebay and it will be much quicker. You have plenty of time before you need one!

Thank you! I already ordered one from germany and if should get here in a week or so. Aliexpress is out of the question, as it takes waaaaaay to long(2-4 mounths) for my local postal office to get the package.
