water vs sugar water

yeah ive seen molasses around in the states at local stores, but thats back when i was buying veg nutes 4 my plant, by now i had 4gotten the price.. but i know they arent hard to find here in america

Would you still use molasses on a plant if it's in miracle grow soil since it's already got the nutes in the soil?

i have but im 7 weeks into my flower and i dont imagine theres any nutes in the soil now, i recon theyve all been flushed, thats the miracle gro nutes of course, i'm still feeding liquid nutes. i havent had any nute burn problems thru the whole grow, i dont understand why people have a problem with miracle gro unless its just some strains that are more prone to nute probs.

Molasses can give a plant a very earthy smooth flavour.... we did a comparison of chronic strian,with and without... most preferred the flavour of the molasses as it was smoother...

What actual benefits does the sugar help promote in the plant?

swells the bud out, its a carbohydrate also its got some micro nutes in it i believe that are supposed to help the soil, also like madcatter states it mellows the smoke, like putting raw moonshine style whiskey in a port wine cask in order for it to absorb the flavour of the port and reduce the harshness. thers a few plant foods out on the market that actually have molasses in with the mix, i'm not sure but i think my own stuff, biobizz biogrow has some in it, its as thick and sticky as a motherfucker, horrible stuff to work with, u gotta keep it warm or it turns to glue, i had to put some boiling water in with mine today coz it wouldnt pour out the feckin bottle.

could anyone tell if that harms if we water plants with honey water?

yeah it gives them diabetes...........

Listen whoever is trying to feed their plant sugar.

YOU SHOULD NOT feed your plant the same sugar your mother puts in her coffee. Like iodized salt IT IS BLEACHED(so are coffee beans) I know this is what your question really is with your 'easy access' remarks but your avoiding it.

You CAN give your plant NATURAL or 'RAW' sugar which is an off yellow color.


Just get the mollasses, only use UNsulphured. Blackstrap IS unsulphured, but it doesn't have to say Blackstrap. IT MUST SAY UNSULPHURED

use 1TBSP per gallon. every other feeding from week 6 until your flush.

Stop messing around man do it right or grow tomatoes.

Case closed

For the record

You can feed a plant ANY liquid that isn't sulphured or too high in sodium and has been PH balanced. The problem is the salt deposit formations on roots and in the soil caused by the liquid as the plant absorbs it not the liquid itself.

Another common liquid is

Orange Juice: (100% NOT from concentrate) this contains carbs, potassium, bvitamins, vitA, calcium, Magnesium, and iron.


If you ever wonder about dosage on ANYTHING your adding that it NOT plant food my friend uses the serving size.

Mollasses is 1 tablespoon so he uses 1 TBS per gallon

Orange juice is 8 ounces so use 8 ounces per gallon

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS PH BALANCE LAST.

great info, ill be sure to remember that. +rep
