Very nice, is this an organic grow? What are you using in conjunction with the molasses to keep it from becoming too acidic?
Miracle gro....ha...soil/veg nutes and bloom booster....if u just develop a relationship w ur plants they will tell u what they need....yeah I use miracle gro...but I start w like quarter doses n work my way up watching how the plants act....its all pretty simple once u get a feel for it....yeah theres a lot better ways to go than cfls n miracle gro but for starting out its easy stuff to come up w n u CAN grow some killer plants w such a set up....20121115_092345.jpgl 20121115_092323.jpg20121115_092314.jpg....2weeks flowering

u wanna make sure the molasses ur using in non-phosphorous...if not it will mess with ur ph levels (so ive heard)....i use it and have notcied a big difference. It feeds ur plants sugars and carbs which they need...u should only use in flowers stage...it def fattens up the buds making them more dense in weight...took these pics last week id say 4th week into flower...bag seed first grow

I was speaking more in reference to making hash...I've been reading several different threads and wish to be as organic as possible.

males have almost no thc content, i think its like .02% or something rediculous.. they are useless for making hash or anything to get you high. Could make a nice bracelet out of it maybe lol

To the OP. I like molasses. Used it for my first grow. 1tbs per gallon of water. The only problem was that the molasses attracted very small sugar ants that began to live in my soil and on my plants. They did no harm but it was a bit of a pain watching them run around on my plants lol!

ok, update time...most of the plants were males 70% :-(, but two healthy fems. Showing one plant with 17 days into flower. The other female is showing pistils. Pics on second female to come. Counted almost 20 bud sites. With 4-5 weeks to go hope to see the final result...maybe he'll let me take home a sample when its finishedbongsmilie
