Sugar never use.Molasses you can start using when vegging for best results.Use about 2 table spoons per gallon or water every other watering at most.Some use it only once a week.Never use it in aero grows just soil or flood tablesUse some hot water to disolve it first then add it to your watering res or can

Will too much mollasses do any harm to the plants? Also I thought that mollasses is only beneficial to use during flowering for the carbs and to make the buds taste sweeter? In veg theres no use for that right? Correct me if i'm wrong.

To much will attract insects.

It shouldnt as long as its oraganic..
And about the bugs, indoors if u have 2 or 3 plants should be any bugs (especially now its winter) Use it once or twice a week but use regular water to flush between waters.

If you over use it you can get mold and mildew growing in your soil pot so dont over due it. You use it in veg and flower as it helps with food production during photosynthesis which is the enitre plants life. The sugars and starches help during flower as it drawa from these to make more resins which makes fatter heavier buds.You want to flush it as the only taste you get left is a harsh smoke if left in so always flush well.

molasses helps foilage growth, which helps photo syntesis, which helps the pants get bigger and be able to convert food into THC... so i say use it as son as plants get thick stem... i only grow outdoors, so i can't give advice about indorr plants, but since i've been using molasses instead of chem nutrients my plants have gotten taller, wider and putting out way many bud branches. good luck

Way to revive a year and a half old thread! Molasses feeds the micro-organisms in the soil. These micro-organisms break down nutes and feed the plant. It's also a source of manganese, copper, iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium as well as many other trace minerals.

which brand of molasses is the best when using fox farm light warrior ,and foxfarm potting soil

I use "Grandma's" but any kind that says it is unsulphured is ok. sulphur promotes fungal growth. i use 3 ounces per gallon, some think that is a lot, but my plants love me for it. do not spray on plants, put into soil only. i grow outdoors in florida soil, the rootball is surrounded by a 50/50 mix of peat moss and prepared potting soil mix in an 20" circle, this way the roots can keep moist as the sand in florida dries out within a day or two of a good rain. good luck!!!!!
