Just gave the girls their first dose of Molasses. 2 tbsp p/g....

At what point, on average, do you see the impact molasses has? hour, day, week?

Really excited to see how this works out. Never tried molasses...

the first time i used molasses was on my 3rd grow. i noticed a result in week 5 of using it, i applied it on week 5, the second watering after the feeding. when they woke up the next day i really noticed a difference. just more sticky and a bit heavier. i was pleased and i use it now in all grows.

I would say the visible impact would be noticeable if you grow 2 plants same strain side by side using identical medium & using molasses on 1 & not the other.

Now then people ,
If using Molasses , Make sure its un-sulphered ,
It will say on the jar , UN-SULPHERED
Jorge Cervantes says Molasses is the magic .
All im using is BIO BIZZ BLOOM and Black Strap Molasses .
Heres a couple of pics . These plants are just starting week 4 of flowering today ,
These pics were taken 3 days ago now and there is alot more cristels on the buds now .
Hope you`s enjoy as much as me lol
You can get molasses at any Holland & Barrett store or health food stores .
Ive got 2 jars from H&B and today when me , the wife and daughter went to Whitby i got a jar of Black Strap Molasses .

OK. Im not sure if your blowin your own whistle or need help with growing larger buds???

Mollasas is another mixed results. Ive used it, but in a diffrent form. Stuff like Humboldts "Honey" and GH Nectar. I like the Humboldts Honey the best, I make a compost tea with it. Its just another great way of getting sugars and/or carbohydrates to the plant. A healthy plant already produces carbs for healthy leaf production. You wont need a whole lot, its just a supplement, not a need. If useing mollasas on one plant out of many over time, youll see the results slowly. Heres the thing, dont be disappointed if you dont see results even within a week. If your plant is full of what it needs, it will store the carbs for when it needs it. Maybe a month or maybve a week. Peace tfo. SS.

molasses is also great for veg..its actually better to use molasses during veg then switch to an actual plant carb booster like carbo load or gh nector, bonticare's sweet, whatever brand u choose..thats how i do it and i get better results doing it this way then before when i only used molasses as a carb booster through the whole grow..now i switch to carbo load a week before or a week into 12/12 but still use molasses, only when im flushing though.

Testing this myself at the moment with during veg. About Two weeks in just starting to test it with a weak solution. I hear it can boost veg growth. Through the use of the sugars and it feeds the microbes in the medium.

Molasses applied to soils feeds soil microbes. Activating
soil biology can impact above-ground insect pests by altering
plant metabolism -- especially relating to sap pH and amino
acids -- in addition to controlling to soil-borne diseases which are
the usual target pathogens of enhanced soil biology.
