dude...I know if you go and read most of the Molasses threads it says 1tbls per gallon...THat is WAAAAAAY too much. If you do that then add no other nutes and only do it a few times.... Molases feeds your soil and all the living things in there. If you dont have Mychorizze to eat it then I dont reccomend using more then just a couple drips. I used it plenty and over did it and my blueberry smell went away and was replaced by a funky black licorice smell. It IS good stuff just in VERY small doses.... Less is more

Use your ferts, don´t bother with molasses.
I did an experiment this year - I had read so much about how wonderful molasses was, I had to do a comparative test - gave some of my plants molasses (1 tbsp per gallon), the other none - but gave both my usual NPK ferts.
Result - no difference whatever. IMHO molasses is a total waste of time and money.
QUESTION - where does this nonsensical garbage come from?? Dopey kids who have no horticultural knowledge just reading BS and repeating it as gospel??

did u do a journal or document it or should we just take your word that this is gospel and not more nonsensical garbage without anything to back this claim
and it seems u are the minority on this subject. And when I searched seems the whole world says it works but who knows maybe everyone that uses it is just a dopey kid

i am definitely pro-molasses.. i started to give it to my plants one week into flowering and they have loved it! i also give them other nutes along with but only once a week... plus alot of ferts are contrived from molasses.....

Fly, were you doing things organic and chemically? If chemically then it would makes sense you saw no difference due to the molasses only feeding the beneficial bacteria in the soil, not actually the plant, that is my understanding. So if done without organics, molasses would be pointless. I pulled a plant out of a tail spin with a organic tea that included molasses, I can't say it was the only contributing factor, but it doesn't seem to have hurt.

Then let them give their plants placebos if that's what you think. Telling someone that something doesn't work or is useless without some proof is just a waste of time especially when it doesn't hurt to try.
With that said, I grow in living soil and wouldn't go without using it.
