sugar or mollases watering

[nick8]

hi guys i have heard about using sugar or mollases in water . What do you think? How does this help?

molasses feeds the bacteria in the soil... Sugar is only good for filling gas tanks

I will use it towards the 2-3 mo mark outdoors then about once every 4-6 weeks tablespoon per gal

would pure sugar work? What kind of molasses do i get. Is there like a plant only molasses or does any molasses work?

I use cheap o back strap runs about 3.50 for 24oz or so.. dont use sugar.

I have heard about using sugar while flushing dont know what it does. Molasses given to the plant in flowering will make larger and more flavorful buds. I am going to use it on my next grow.

Some people contest say it doesnt do anything. th[HR][/HR]at the plant. Produces. Its own carbs but I know by experience with figs. Its true the plant doese makes. Most some cases all. But when adding it grows depending and takes advantage and uses what's available. Plus what it normally makes and produces bigger fruit and if its starts partaking of the bread (mollasesbased)carbs it starts
depending on the extra carb. Wach out for potassium levels and don't forget to add the extra potassium. In your feeding schedule. Its good to give your plant thextra carbs with seaweed and mollases tea throughout all thr vegging and flowering..

Sugar doesn't have anything to feed the goodies in your soil, all it will do is attract bugs.

Any "unsulphured molasses" will work, I qam using store brand, but they had "Grandma's" next to it, for another couple dollars, but reading the label was same thing.
The grower from Oregon uses a diff. brand for flowering, says he found out it has a little extra sumpin' in it, more than plain brand.

You gotta use raw unprocessed sugar like turbinado sugar, or unsulphered blackstrap molasses. The reason for an unprocessed sugar is it breaks down easier for the plant to uptake.

Would using molasses make a difference with 2 weeks to go. Im still using Humbolt Nutrients BLOOM and plan to do so until i chop. Does the molasses thickin the buds up at all and put in more dense weight? Dont mean to jack the thread just looking for info. 7 years been growin but still consider myself a newb and will always cause i never stop learning. You young kids are our future and while im on this planet will take in as much info as i can.

Molasses helps to thicken the buds yes, but is also used in organic gardening to feed the microbial life in the soil, which in turn helps break down nutrients for easy uptake for the plants. Think of the microherd in the soil as a stomach digesting the food.
