Molasses feeding

the girls are nearly to week 6 of flowering and I've been using Tiger bloom accordingly. I looked all over for the blackstrap unsulphured molasses but no luck. I decided on Golding Farms unsulphured molasses which I hope is ok. First question, is it ok? I don't want to give the girls anything that can hurt them. Second question, how often to apply? They get the TB every third day.

molasses is for feeding microbes in organics. If you don't have an organic soilweb going, it's pointless.

Don't dick with the mix.

I use a teaspoon/gallon every other watering starting at week 4 of flower...to keep the micro life going strong all the way till they end. I think using it just the last 2 weeks is less likely to be effective.

But the theory I know for the last 2 weeks way is 1 tablespoon/gallon every other watering. Even during flush.

exactly, I think it does more harm then good.

Whoa boy, easy kite
Yup, thats what they say, when youve got a strong colony of bacteria and microbes you feed em the last couple of weeks with it. They also say that if you use it too frequently or to high in concentration it can hurt your roots more than helping.

it blocks N and is ridiculous as it does nothing for the plant...is great on biscuits though

Wow you're so cool...I hope one day I can talk shit like you. Until then I'll keep doing my thing living a great life and growing dank organic nugs.

I use it when brewing teas mostly

So when you apply it, it is mostly eaten and converted already then?

You actually flush the soil which leaves the soil closer to empty/inert, but I get what you are saying...that you're super cool and just try and put down and bitch about different thoughts and practices that aren't like your own way, and never share or educate on your theories.
I don't exactly flush because use super/amended soil and some teas so I just stop the teas towards the end. Some people would ask about using molasses even in flushing(which is some peoples practice) and I say yes.

Ya pretty much. Even when using a liquid organic lines(GH general organic) I liked to brew them and let things get broken down a little for quicker action. But there are times when it is just molasses water specially towards the later weeks.

EDIT: I just saw you comment about over doing it and then kites N comment. Which is why I dial it back from the recommended tablespoon/gal when using it for longer like I do.

well alrighty then...no molasses...got it
