On the Humboldt feed chart it has Equilibrium (cal/mag), Sea Mag and Sea Cal being used up until your flush. So I would say go ahead and use it. I'm feeding Equilibrium and plan to until 3 days prior to harvest. Go check out the chart. It won't steer you wrong. Best of luck :)

I think that blackstrap molasses has more trace elements and carbs than honey. All you would really be doing is feeding some sugar to the soil. I would stick with molasses personally.

honey es looks good. If you want a slightly diffrent end result go with that. Or go with floranectar, sweet, carboload, bud candy, sucanat. whatever floats your boat :dunce:

I just finished growing a batch of Jillybean with molasses based nutes (hydro=organics HI-BRIX A&B). I like that stuff. Next I am trying the entire general organics line.

lol alright im goin to rephrase it cuz I messed it up the other time....
Does anybody use humboldt honey ES, with there amended soil? or super soil?
mainly just wondering if anybody else would use this for the entire flowering period or later in flower.

That guy said molassas doesnt sweeten your bud then in the same paragraph said it feeds your plants sugers! Holy hell and two ppl liked it ! Jeez .

Been there done that dude ! I started out in organics and used molassas for one reason and it was for a calcium and magnesium supplement . I used about what you listed . Since then I have moved on to a soiless medium and chem nutes . I run perpetual and harvested 3 plants off this method and I will tell you first hand that taste has fallen off big time and I DO KNOW how to cure .

I'm I saying molassas made it sweet ? No I cant say that I have no way to prove it but I can tell you I'm sticking with soiless (performs better than soil) and loading it up hot in search of what give it that extra sweet taste even if that means going back to molassas if I have to ,then I could say hell yes it makes it sweeter , I dont care if was molassas or not I just want the taste back !

(edit)forgot to mention your thread title reminded me my buds are not as dense as they used to be .

AND the reson not to use to much is that too much calcium or magnesium will cause nutrient lockouts . I believed i used more close to 2 teaspoons per a gallon , less is more !

(re edit) Damn you reseach at all this thread posted a few days b4 yours all you need to know in one stop https://www.rollitup.org/organics/444382-molasses-mineral-values-dipshit-edition.html

Your weed tasted better cause you grew it organically, not with synthetics, the molasses didn't make it sweeter, trust me. If it did, it did it through microbe biology, not by simply adding "sugars" to it. Not trying to argue at all, but nothing you add to the soil will "sweeten" your buds taste....it just doesn't work that way.
