No worries dude. I really wouldn't advise anyone to use Molasses as a foliar feed, you can use it, but you really need to know what you're doing and use it as part of a 100% organic setup and in combination with other organic 'teas'. It's really meant to be used as part of a 100% organic setup.Thanks again Babygro, anybody that likes Betty can't be all bad
Stick to using it as a root feed - much safer that way all round.
If you want a similar effect as a Molasses foliar feed, think about Seaweed Extract, (which I use) it's great for micro minerals/nutrients and trace elements and it also has small quantities of growth hormones in it as well. It's also a great plant 'stress reliever' as well particularly when potting on.
Other foliar feeds you could consider are 'fish emulsion' which gives the plant a nice boost in Nitrogen, without putting any into the root zone where it could potentially 'burn' the plant as excess salts. Fish emulsion greens up leaves nicely and is very useful for 'perking' up mother plants that look a bit pale.
Just remember, don't foliar feed after week 2 in flowering.
