How much sun

How many hours of sunlight would give my plant idel growing conditions.
And tips on how to keep bugs off would be much appreciated

all day ... a solid 12 hrs is great ,, followed by 12 hrs of COMPLETE darkness .. then flowering will start

spoonful of molasees in a gal water will work as light pestiside,as will fatten buds and give your plant the sugars it needs..

I dont understand why people use molasees when you can use BROWN SUGAR, its already refined! All it is is molasess on sugar!

I never heard of the brown sugar thing but sure will give it a try thanks man

brown sugars carry more sodium as in salts,so use the black strap molasess it has micro nutes as well,iron,potasium,ext

Good answer.

On my bottle of gravity it recommends usuing 2 tbs. of molasses for every 25 gallons of water in conjuction. I also heard from the guy at my local hydro store to not over use it. He said 1/4 teaspoon per gallon.

With a healthy plant you don't need to worry about bugs. Small spiders are benefical to the plant. Molasses seem ok i havent used it to much. What stage are you suppose to give it at? Last week or what

you can actually use it all threwout its life cycle as is chelates your nutrients into a useable forms . also it has a low numbers of NPK and some trace elements and to top it off your microbes love it!

when theyre vegging you want around 18 or more hours of light a day. 12 hours light and 12 hrs dark for flowering like korvet said

and molasses and brown sugar will probly attract more bugs if you use too much of it or use it too frequently.
molasses is real good for plants during flowering though, so id just wait to use it til then.
if you want to keep bugs away use garlic, theres lots of garlic based bug repellent recipes on the internet, most just say to mix a lot of chopped up garlic with water and spray around the plants
