i used that mollasses years ago, didnt really have much of a clue back then and pretty much destroyed the whole crop with the stuff, i was obviously using way way too much, zedd is using mollases and ripen at the min in soil, best to ask him i reckon.

i think using molasses as a flush is pointless i could be wrong, but think its really spose to be used much earlier i dont no all the science behind it but do remember reading up on it years ago.

i half fill my bucket, about 7 litres get a spoon of mollasis in a small bowl and add boiling water to mix it in then just tip into bucket

just make sure its
1.unsuplhered
2.organic
3.blackstrap

that's the old theory mate, roots can uptake complex molecules by active transport, just not much......molasses can add flavour for sure
i agree fo sure, i have these plants on mollasis and i have some sumwer else, same strain ame everything just no mollasis and mine are lot sweeter smelling for sure, and the buds are much sticker and heavier

................:roll:
man why do u always do this? just coz u have scoured google and havent tried it yourself and have sum stupid scientific explanation, how do u know.,? i do know coz like i said some are getting and some arent so u can see a direct coparison? u need to realise u dont know eveyrthing about everthing and just accept what people KNOW, and are doing and have done, just coz u have red sumwer sum mad fucking reasoning this n that, dont make it so,, this is why we start arguing coz u make urself out to be sum ace grower whoknows evrything about everything, and u arent and u dont,

flavour i dont know, but sweet smelling stickier buds, fo sure
 
Just so we all understand......

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycorrhiza

"A mycorrhiza (Gk. μυκός, mykós, "fungus" and ριζα, riza, "roots", pl. mycorrhizae or mycorrhizas) is a symbiotic (generally mutualistic, but occasionally weakly pathogenic) association between a fungus and the roots of a vascular plant.

In a mycorrhizal association, the fungus colonizes the host plant's roots, either intracellularly as in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF or AM), orextracellularly as in ectomycorrhizal fungi. They are an important component of soil life and soil chemistry.

Mycorrhizae form a mutualistic relationship with the roots of most plant species.

This mutualistic association provides the fungus with relatively constant and direct access to carbohydrates, such as glucose and sucrose. The carbohydrates are translocated from their source (usually leaves) to root tissue and on to the plant's fungal partners. In return, the plant gains the benefits of the mycelium's higher absorptive capacity for water and mineral nutrients due to the comparatively large surface area of mycelium: root ratio, thus improving the plant's mineral absorption capabilities."


If you feed the sugars directly to the bacteria via the soil with something like molasses then this removes the need to translocate from the plant, ergo improved efficiency to a natural system.

It's noob myth busting 101 ffs!

photo.JPG well this is what i got, went into Holland & barrett they never ad any blackstrap so will this shit do the trick,
