Side by side molasses experiment?

[Smoke2Live420]

Seriously,
Who needs some random dude in a forum 2 do an expeirment 2 tell us its ok to use molasses or not..?
it works just do it !!

it just helps prove or disprove it. do what you like with the info we gain from it. I will be interested to see it happen one way or another.
I dont care much for human horn

i myself have grown my share of chronic but i am curious if this has any effect on the buds..

I just happened to pick up a bottle of molasses that day, was looking up a few threads to get some insight on the subject, and saw a LOT of arguing. I offered to do this experiment to try to give a little bit of an actual test here to see if it is a worthwhile supplement to a regular feeding regiment. The only times I have seen anyone really being wowed by their use of molasses is when they went from not using anything at all to using molasses. Obviously, being packed full of potassium, it will benefit in this way. If you don't want the results (not opinions) of some "random dude" and his experiment, don't come back. I am not forcing you to look, and certainly will not wrestle the molasses out of your hand if I feel it doesn't benefit me. So, hey, click on something else if you don't approve. There are always plenty of other threads.

Oh, and about it not being legitamite if not coming from clones, I agree to an extent. However, for what it's worth, these plants have been extremely similar in growth and vigor, as well as appearance. I decided to feed molasses to the one that was a day or two behind on sprouting. What I am hoping is that I will be bowled over by the results of feeding molasses to it; especially since it had a later start. They both seem to be the Indica pheno of Great White Shark.

I am (as I stated before) also feeding them with FoxFarm Tiger Bloom. There is also a healthy dose of Fox Farm Happy Frog Bat Guano in the soil. I wish I had a control plant here without the guano, but it isn't possible. The guano says that it contains many mycorrhizae in it, and I am afraid that the molasses will feed these fungi very well and really get the roots going.

In conclusion, this isn't a perfect experiment; but I hope to make it better than any one that has been done thus far. Whatever the results are, you are all more than welcome to do whatever you want. Proving or disproving something takes time, and many experiments. Hopefully, i can give it a start.

Alright, time to update.

It has been 4 days since my first feeding of molasses. Halfway inbetween then and now, I gave them their usual every-other feeding of Fox Farm Tiger Bloom. I was going to water them tonight, but the soil is still moist. I snapped a few pics 5 minutes before lights on, so you won't have to deal with that HPS glare. Here it is:

17 days flowering, left one just started receiving molasses; right one never will. Both are supplemented with Guano in the soil.

Left (molasses eater)


And right (no molasses)



So there you are.

I dont know. no molases looks alittle better so far... were these plants started from seed or clone?

 

[RASCALONE]

no molasses looks better but i guess you;ll find out which is better soon enough..

 

[kayasgarden]

hard to tell diffrent shots

 

[tckfui]

and different plants
wassappaning rascal havn't seen you around in a while

 

[weediscool]

i think its a little early to be using molasses anyways. from what ive always understood i thought molasses was supposed to be used somewhat late in flowering like week 5 or 6+ to get that extra resin and shit.

it makes sense right? resin is gooey and so is molasses???

I love this guy^^^.
I wish everything was so simple.

 

[tckfui]

hahaha yea that would be great. it really dosnt make sense if you look at it that way but suposedly because its startchy and a carbohydrate somhow, it fattens the buds as well as add weight to it. but I think it happens by magic

 

[RASCALONE]

or is it just coincedence?hmmm
and im back tckfui,i shot you a pm,no response,thought u were dogging me,hahaha

 

[tckfui]

you did??? I dont know I've been getting lots of PM's latly and I'm usualy high and get all confused, annd than I pee... its like homework ... I cant believe how FDD must feel

 

[RASCALONE]

your the man now,thats right but if u ever shut me out again its on my friend,lol

 

[MagusALL]

what if you just pour molasses on the buds? that HAS to increase the weight. lol, jk.

 

[tckfui]

hmmm... sounds good Mag, and it will cedrtainly make it stickyier!

 

[FilthyFletch]

Weird happenings as the buds not getting molasses show up to be better which is the opposite of evertime I have used it.You actually should use it starting in early veg as the carbs in help the uptake and manufacture of the plants food and photosynthesis.Once a week in veg and twice a week in flower

 

[tckfui]

why does it say you are offline Filthy yet you aren't??? this is the 3rd time I'm noticing this with you... are you a sorcerer of sorts?

As I understand the carbs. Carbs 0nly help the production of Resin, trichs, and the swelling of buds. It does not help in the plant growth. As i thought he said in a earlier post, he added Molasses to the smaller of the two plants.

As I was told. a merathon runner needs CARBS for running, Althletes in general need Carbs to fuel their muscles, which in turn allows them to get bigger, but the althlete does not get taller. Carbs are used for energy fuel. Not growth. Just becauser the plant does not grow as big, does not mean that there is not as much THC contained is that smaller plant as the bigger one. Sometimes my smalliest plants end up being my best plants.
