Molasses helps because it provides food for the benificial bacteria in the soil. the benificial bacteria in turn increases the plants ability to absorb nutrients and minerals in the roots meaning you can feed less nutes with the same result. i feed my ladies with molasses once a week at 1 tblsp per gallon of water. hope this helps

Thanks dude so just once a week at 1 tablespoon?

Ive used molasses in my grows several times. I usually put a cup of mollasses in every bucket of water, and water the plant every time it gets dry. It seems to make the bud alot bigger. start to use the molasses water 2 weeks before you prepare to harvest. hope that helps

thanks dude so put it in the water how much?

so 2 weeks b4 harvest what about during harvest?

wait you mean flowering? cause harvest is the first step

no harvast is 4th from the last step .
its germinate ,plant, seedling stage, veg stage ,flower , harvest ,dry, cure, smoke ,
sit back and enjoy .

molasses can be given through out the entire grow. the most beneficial time to give molasses is during flowering/budding. You can give them 1 to 2 tsp per gallon every other watering. Worked great for me, maybe it could work for you...

alright thanks dude wait I dont really get it ok I germinate the seed then plant it then dont I just veg for like 3 weeks like when I plant the seed in the dirt dont I from there do vegging if not how much long after do Ihave to wait to veg ?

and what exactly is harvest time lol?

i use molasses at the start of 12/12 till end, this is my first time using molasses but these girls are definately better than the last crop. have a look at the pics if you want

Okay... To grow pot. (In order)

Germinate - Meaning get the seed to sprout a taproot. (White root about 1-2 cm long that extends directly from seed) There are many ways to do this, I'm sure you've already done it.

Plant - Once the taproot pops out, plant the seed in your grow medium. (Probably some soil mixture of soil, clay, sand, etc.) DO NOT add nutrients for at least 2-3 weeks after planting and only start with a little bit.

Veg - You don't have to do anything special to start vegging. Your plant will veg once you plant it. Just keep your lights going for about 18 hours on and 6 hours off.

Flower - You can begin flowering whenever you would like. Remember, once your plant begins to flower, it can double or triple in size depending on the strain you are growing. So start flowering when the plant is at least half of the expected size. To start flowering, switch the lights to 12 hours on and 12 hours off. You may need to switch to a different kind of light for this.

Harvest - This begins when the plant is done flowering. THere is a certain time when you know the plant is done flowering. About 75% of the little hairs that start out clearish white will become amber or brown in color. You can then cut off the stems. After this, you cut as much of the leafs off that you can without cutting into the bud.

Dry - This happened IMMEDIATELY after you are done cutting them up during harvest. You hang them up in a pitch black room such as a cupboard or closet and leave them to hang at room temp for at least 3-5 days.

Cure - This is when you place the new bud in jars. You can store it. Save it for later. Putting it is mason jars will preserve it. However, keep in mind, each time you open the jar to get some bud out, new air will get in and the bud will become drier and drier each time. So using small mason jars to store small amounts at a time may be more helpful.

As for the molasses, mix 2 - 3 tsp (3tsp = 1tblsp) per gallon. However, keep in mind it does mold VERY quickly. So I would recommend mixing only a small amount. 1/2 tsp per quart and water it like that.

lol in case some people dont know what harvest means, it means once the plants done flowering, all the buds are done, time to cut er up and dry it. So i start to mix mollasses in with the water 2 weeks before harvest, I find it makes the bud get bigger.

Thanks everyone so honestly ive heard many diffrent things about the mollasses what do you think is the best time for it just 2 weeks b4 harvest or during florewing time???? or ? lol thanks

yeah I would only do 1/2 tsp lol I know you only water the plant when the soil is dry but when you do water it how do you give it?

I assume you mean how to you give the plant the molasses. Simple... Mix the molasses with the water. Stir it up the best you can. You may need to use some science at it because it's hard to stir up (i.e increase surface area, heat up water) Just STIR the hell out of it. I usually just put it in a jar with a lid and shake it up. Works best.

Thanks everyone
