thank you heisenberg lol, ps i watched that series and thought it was awesome tv viewingIf you use molasses in hydro you must have some sort of way for it to decompose, or else it just pollutes the res. So if you use molasses and keep a sterile res you are wasting your time. If you do not keep a sterile res, you are inviting disease. Molasses, if used at all, is best used with beneficial microbes. There are also hydro products available which are essentially molasses that has already been broken down and is ready for the hydro res.
