freqazoidiac.... thats some real shit bro. I will be trying 1-2 tbsp every other to every watering to see my results.

I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION THO? I HAVE READ THAT YOU NEED N-P-K FOR YOUR PLANTS TO METABOLIZE AND USE THE MOLASSES? CAN ANYONE ADD TO THIS THOUGHT OR EXPLAIN THE CONCEPT.

let me take a swat at this lobbed-up-there-gently-for-me_swat_ "QUICK QUESTION" raised by mr. 76.

Yes you need N-P-K for your plants to--L_I_V_E. The molasses are for the microorganisms of the soil which help the plants in many ways, one of which is to enhance/enable the uptake of N-P-K by the plant from the soil.

The microorganisms and their mechanisms for facilitating/catalyzing nutrient uptake are quite different in soil and solution, so be real careful "carbo loading" hydro setups-if at all.

And i didn't even never read that great longass forevermore plus a day recopied and pasted everywhere dissertation (essay my arse) on mo-lass is.

Hey Keith, I read that whole thing and it was not worth the time imho.

There's a new thing out, a "white paper" that explains everything pretty well and backs up everything you said. It even explains the molasses/carbs in hydroponics angle, what works, what doesn't, pretty cool stuff.

On Bath salts.
Let's check the score here.

Four and a half years ago someone makes a joke about how something slated as being "quick" wasn't actually quick.
Over two years ago someone drags up this thread and someone else comments about how they dragged up a dead thread.

Then you come along and decide to post immediately after a post pointing out it's annoying when people drag up dead threads to make what is at best a marginally amusing add-on to a four and a half year old joke on a thread that's been dead for over two years.

Seriously?
