Crosbys cooking molasses

Aloecanna · May 12, 2020

I got a hold of a box filled with this molasses by crosby’s, can it be any good to add to your feeds and watering and if yes when is it recommended?

Well it has lots of potassium, not sure if it is usable form or not. If you have good microbes they will love that stuff and make some of the K more available. I personally add molasses every third feeding

Molasses are used to feed the microbes in the soil. It does not "sweeten" the buds as some say. That product will do the same thing as any other molasses. If you're not growing in soil don't bother using it.

@xtsho
What do you suggest for 5 gallon fabric pots with soil in terms of amounts and timing to feed microbes with molasses?
I have been adding 1/2 teaspoon every other watering. I use that in 5 gallon water to feed 10-15 plants.

I think most people use around 1 tablespoon per gallon. I typically grow in coco but I do soil grows as well. I never use molasses myself. It's not as beneficial as many seem to think.

Does Molasses Improve Soil and Plant Growth?

Should you add molasses to your garden and compost pile? Does it feed the microbes and is it necessary? Is it good for yo0ur plants?
