Thought you were going bed? I just ad one teaspoon to one gallon of water, using milk jugs, the molasses is thick so it's kind of difficult/messy and you have to shake the jug for a bit to dissolve all the molasses, quite a work out actually, are you needing some exercise?

I don't see why not, I've smoked some of bushys lower trimmings around day 38 - 39 they were way immature and I got a pretty decent buzz, it didn't taste that good, now I'm thinking part of the reason the taste was soo bad is because of the nutes, I guess you are supposed to flush them first but you should still get an idea of what your bud is going to be like, if my plants aren't ready by xmas I'm thinking about taking a branch but I think small will be ready by then or close enough, if so I'll go ahead and harvest her first and let the others go longer..


Got any pics of what you think are burnt hairs, they are supposed to brown or darken usually light brown/amber and may get darker with age..

my camera sucks i try to get closeups of the buds and it juss turns out real blurry... actually when i juss looked at them it seems like most of the ones that had brown hairs turned back to the white color and are fine.... weird?????

Strange, turned back to white, never heard such a thing, maybe it was your lighting or something, I'm thinking once they go brown they stay brown or possibly die off, I don't know really but I don't think they have chameleon capability:mrgreen:

For molasses you are suppose to use 2 Tablespoon a gallon. Not A teaspoon.

What kind of camera do you have? Does it have a setting that looks like a flower? If so put it on that setting, then try and take close ups. Hairs changing color is natural, but it seems a bit early for yours to be changing.

If you want to see some White and Purple Widow, click the link in my sig. They are already harvested. And the smoke was amazing = ). Hang in there buddy

Goodluck mate <3

Thanks jack, do you have information regarding how much molasses you are supposed to use, I read 1 tspoon per gallon, something in writing would be nice....

Very nice hoc, looks like you have some purple weed in da blunt, do you know the strain you're smoking? LMAO @ the KING SIZE Zig Zags, I see them all the time but never had enough weed to put in them, I will have soon:weed: .. we used to stick lots of papers together to accomplish that, isn't the future wonderful .. but scary?

Keep up the awesome work hoc!


PS: I'm confused on the amount of molasses, I've been using one tspoon per gallon to be safe but thinking about adding more as I go, now I'm mixing nutes with the mollases 2 tspoon tiger bloom - 1 tspoon maolasses.

I think you might get a joint:joint::mrgreen: on a serious note I'm thinking that the amount of yield you'll get is up to the strain and how the plants are treated, I think the question you ought to be askin is .. "what can I do to get a bigger yield?"... it's hard for us to estimate a yield from plants we can not personally see, images are nice but they do not justify the size.....

In the meantime why not use a teaspoon of molasses per gallon? at least until we find out otherwise, I have been doing it and everything seems to be on track... however your plants are much bigger, may require more but one tspoon aint gunna hurt ya!
