[moodster]

yes m8 its like treacle get some in bud

 

[poke smot420]

it helps your buds taste sweeter. one could argue that molasses brings your yield up by 0-10%

I've had the same results from corn syrup if you can't find mollaces.

 

[dankycheds]

Mmm, molasses. That's American pioneer food right there. It's like kentucky bourbon, or crawfish brains. It'll put hair on your teeth, and muscles on your eyes. Make you grow ten feet taller, and six feet wider. Give you an erection that can chop down a 33 year old pine tree and impregnate an entire women's dormitory with one great splashing of molasses-flavored man-juice. I'm a go get me some right now!

[HERBAL ADDICT]

How many litres is a gallon??? And will it effect the nutes im currently using, so mollases aint just for use in the 12/12 period, also what good will it do threw veg? And what effect will it have on the final product?

 

[easygrinder]

in a uk gallon 4.5
in a us gallon 4 or 3.78 to be precise

 

[HERBAL ADDICT]

Sweet i use a 4 litre bottle for mixing my water/nutes & stuff in it sholld be sweet,
and now i know what a gallon is ,sweet,,,,lol

 

[HERBAL ADDICT]

How can us and uk have diffrent size gallons ? ? ? ? ? ? Offit innit

 

[frostythesnowthug]

Herbal, you can use the holland and barret stuff with no probs...
just DONT use Lyles treacle as an alternative, it is molasses but also has a shitload of sulphur in it which isnt good for your ladies.
Unsulphured molasses is what youre lookin for.
"Grandma's" is a great brand, and is relatively cheap online in the UK..But you'll def get some kind of molasses cheaper at H&B healthfood stores.

there are roughly 4.54 Litres in a uk gallon...
I personally use 1tsp per 2litres,building to 1 tsp per litre for the final wks of flowering, but thats me...And i flush regularly to stop the medium turning into toffee and to clean off the roots lil and allow them to continue to respire.
Also be aware, that molasses use can increase your likelihood of pests in the grow space, esp in summer when the insects are lookin for nice sugary food.

Go steady n good luck with the grow

[frostythesnowthug]

Its used during veg too, as molasses is a raw carbohydrate that the plant and micro-herd can break down very eaily to produce energy to grow...the more carbs the better and more vigorous growth..
It also acts as a chelate which means that the plants can take up the available nutrients in your soil/nute mix much easier and more efficiently.
