foiler feeding

can I foilar feed me plant the last 2 weeks of flowering with molasses diluted in water?

you really dont want to be getting the buds wet. i suppose if you have to just spray it on the leaves only, not the buds...

You usually want to start foliar feeding with molasses during the veg process.
I do it about 1 - 2 weeks before flowering and during the transition phase untill the flowers actually appear and shoot pistils.
The reason is because the plant naturally takes all the carbs from the roots and stores them in the flowering areas of the plant waiting for the time to open up. Now by foliar feeding with molasses its supposed to boost those flowering sites with carbs so that it flowers faster. If you only have 2 weeks left of flowering i dont see a huge benefit of using the molasses... I use Sweet, its product made for the same reasons you would use molasses only safer and at the proper dosages. I use sweet from the last 2 weeks of veg till I begin my flush, about 70 days.

when do i flush? will it kill my plant cause i got a 5 gallon pot and i heard u use like double the container size but 10 gallons sounds like a lot of water
could someone explain it with their own experience...

flush about 1 week - 2 weeks before harvest, what ever you prefer.

what exactly do u mean by "waiting for the time to open up"?

but 10 gallons sounds like an awful lot of water, that wont drown my plant or cause rot or nothing?

anyone know anything else this is the most important part of growing imo because i dont wanna come all this way to fuk up now...please anybody?

I agree with thunderlips. I'd say your on the home stretch now, I wouldn't recommended experimenting with anything at this point. You hopefully had a plan when you started, stick with it! If you've made it this far your plants are probably perfectly healthy. I don't know what your medium is, but I grow hydro and two days before harvest I fill my res with lots of ice (pH balanced cubes) and shock the shit out of them roots and kill the lights for those two days. Your poor little virgin plants will start pumpin out tons or resin cause they're panicing and really want some pollen. Its such a cool trick I learned from BC Northen Lights. On my next grow I'll post some before and after pics, its really obvious on white strains. Thats about the only thing weird I do at the end of my grow to boost potency.

thats new... ill have to give it a try on a single bucket set up just for shits and giggles.

Do not foliar feed your plants with mollasses, unless you like nasty insects all over your bud, or god forbid ants. The smell wouldn't be so good either. just leave it alone. You want to flush the last week or 2 of flowering. you do this by pouring 2xthe volume of your soil in plain PH balanced water. so if you have 5 gallons of soil you will dump 10 gallons of water through and let it drain out the bottom of the pot. Do this each time you would normally water, do not use fertilizer, just plain water. this will flush out any leftover salts and fertilizer left in thwe soil and make the plant swell with water and give up some of its salts too. Those salts are what makes your weed burn black with popping and fizzling and the taste is terrible. flushing makes the weed burn to a nice grey/white ash and the taste is much much better.

ok im on my last 2 weeks now so i think im gonna start flushing every time i would water with ph balanced water, what are some tips for getting rid of extra water that comes out the bottom of the pot? IMPORTANT: I HAVE A SMALL FUNGAS KNAT PROBLEM. 2 days before I harvest im gonna stress the shit outta my plant, im going to try putting lots of ice on the surface of the soil that mite stress it with cold, im gonna stick a nail through the base, keep it in darkness, and maybe i heat stress it with my heat dish its like a small satalite dish but shoots out a direct beam of heat where ever its aimed

so that covers temperature, lighting, a nail in the base, and anything else... i love growing bud but i hate it because this is my first grow but i feel like i could grow soo much better than what i currently am growing i cant wait to start plant number 2 its gonna be flawless muahahahaha

anyone else? ill try getting some pics up soon
