Eh, thats not very expensive at all, I've just seen some outrageous prices in certain formats.. I usually used black-strap, but sometimes I went with fancy.. I always had tons of it kicking around because I use alot in distilling rum..
One thing I never thought about when I had a crop on the go was feeding my plants brewing nutes.. Soil microbes and yeast often have very similar tastes..

Wassup my lil mafia?Dude you might have found a pheno that could be awesome so what lights due you have now?You keep me more confused than 10 ppl lmfao,born i went and looked at the bottle has vitamins magn,iron calcium and trace elements.Food source for beneficial microorganisms that improve the health of the soil,helps breakdown organic matter providing nutrients for the plant.I guess thats why ive never had mag.def its called Natures Guide.And its blackstrap lmfao i guess im hungry for some backstrap off the ol deer in the fridge rofl

Yea, I was gonna say that molasses in general, (especially black-strap) already contains a good amount of trace elements directly uptakeable by the plant.. The carbs on the otherhand aren't for the plant at all, they can't travel up the xylem.. They feed the micro-oganisms that do the pre-processing work..

Any nursery has it..and its cheap 5 to 6 bucks i wont grow without it i love the taste in my weed.Born, how can you say that, one feeds the other therefore there essential for healthy plants.Am i wrong?Does it not help the plant with its availibilty of nutrients?By,that i mean open are help the plant with uptake of nutrients by increasing the amount of healthy microorganisms,are not healthy the good ones that there being both good and bad...

Not much npk will be taken up from what is added from the molasses.. The compounds that make up molasses are generally too complex for plants to absorb.. Micro-organisms definately assist in conversion of nutrients to usable forms, but they need to harvest the energy to do so from those carbohydrates like sucrose, and much more complex compounds, that the plants couldn't use themselves..
Approaching the later part of the season, cannabis plants actually dump a large portion of the carbohydrates they have built within themselves via photosynthesis into the soil.. This charges up the organisms with the energy they need to perform useful functions and by-products.. Its symbiotic, and the needs do over lap slightly, but the roles can be separated..
Adding molasses in a sterile hydrponic setup wouldn't yield the same benefit, though there are trace elements available in it, and a tad of usable npk, but it would really need to be composted of sorts to sustain a plant on any kind of npk ratio.. Proper carb loading additives for hydroponics include the enzymes soil beasties would normally provide..

Ok, i had my first major unexplainable problem today!!!
I got there and the all the lights were out. :confused:
The breaker was tripped to the room, but i don't understand why. It has never happened before, and the guy who wired it is an electrician. It's on it own dedicated circuit, nothing else is on the circuit but the grow room!:wall:

Anyway, my plants were a little bigger so i still took pics for ya'!!!!!

Here is an over all of the two cabinets, with a temp,and humidity shot. The fans were off,like i said, so the humidity was a little high at the time.

Also, Beech, check out the last shot! Look at that soil, no moisture anywhere near the top 2 inches of soil!!LOL!!!! I'm gettin' better!:hump:

Next up is the eight random bagseed plants that seem to be doing good with no scissors involved this round!!LOL!!!

I know some look really wet, but it was their day to get the hose!!!:lol:

After seeing how my clones came out, in the next set of pics., i'm thinking i'll keep these plants in these pots for awhile to let the roots fill out the pot.
anyway, here is the bagseed mix....

So here is the clones i have from plant 3 and 4, not bad for the first time ,huh?:mrgreen:
Any ideas on when these will be ready to throw into flower?

My goal is to be able to put them in place, if i have any males, when i pull them out. My guess is about, what?, another week untill they should be ready to throw these clones into flower?

Could have been caused by inrush current.. You should stagger your ballasts starting moments a tad since they draw alot more current at start-up.. How much inrush current can also depend on the state of the AC waveform at the moment the ballast is turned on, so its easy for that to seem random..

I think they are about a minute or two apart now, ya' know i never even thought about it that way. It makes sense if two big ballast are trying to warm up,thus pulling much electricity, it would be the same as an overload, causing the trip. Am i on the right track? Maybe i should put the timers start up's about five minutes apart huh?
