I thought you were a hydro guy? Have you ever used it either?

I actually agree with some of what he said. But I'm not the only one who doubt's all that information. Just read the replies.

Personally I think it's best used in teas. It feeds the microbes more than anything. But it also does have nutrients in it.

I'll add in some when I mix up microbes to help feed them and let them multiply while I get ready to feed, but that's about the only time I add it anymore.

My first grow was the tastiest and smelliest yet, and I was adding molasses to EJ and making a tea each watering.

I need to add molasses every watering sometime to see if I can notice any difference. But too much molasses can lower soil pH.

I don't really buy the microbe population explosion, and crash thing. Dead microbes feed the plants. I did read a study where some microbes became more dominant than others for awhile, but it always balanced back in the long run.

Now I read a bit of that :roll:
and my concern is you know a bit of what you speak
But why always bring the drama and controversy?
If you can explain why we are all your enemy I would appreciate it ?

How many are using Molasses on their girls?

I read up on Molasses and all seems positive so I started using it on mine.

I think I'm going to try it. I feel like that article was directed more towards vegetable farming. There was a comment from a dude who was saying that it can be beneficial for some types of plants and not to others. And that is great for cannabis. Thanks for posting this, I'm going to give it a shot.

I’ve used it occasionally and don’t have an opinion but……..

1. it will attract more bugs, so keep your eyes open.

2. it will clog/coat your pH/ppm pens and probes so clean often.

3. it will dirty your water reservoir, so clean often to avoid insects.

4. Molasses comes in several varieties (unsulphured, sulphured, and blackstrap) that are determined by the sugarcane's age, the amount of sugar that's extracted, and the method of extraction. Use the correct one, they are all different.

This wasn't even supposed to be a scene from this movie. Those stormtroopers snuck up behind Yoda and startled him. The camera man just so happened to be filming when it happened. The death of those stormtroopers was a total accident. Later they expounded on the scene and added it to the movie. In an interview Yoda spoke about how bad he felt over the incident.

From what I was reading it is supposed to kill bugs. Supposed to have all the nutrients needed through the whole grow.

Molasses here is just Molasses pressed from Cane and cooked, no byproduct of Sugar.
