Ok,this morning I read a thread on here,stating that molasses is good for plants,so I mixed a big glop in a 12 once cup of water,and watered my baby with it.Well,now all the leaves are curling up,and dying.It started with the big fan leaves,and now it's all the other leaves.The plants been flowering for 7 or more weeks,should I just go ahead and harvest it?I mean it looks really bad,and I don't think it will recover.I guess I gave it a glucose over dose.Is this possible.Any help would be greatly appreciated.PEACE

FLUSH!!!!!!!!!!
Not glucose overdose, but there's other chemicals in molasses, plus the stickiness can suffocate your roots.
Shit, that's like a 30% w/w molasses solution!!! :eek:
One glop per GALLON is the application rate.

2 tbsp of molasses in a gallon of water will lower the ph by 1.2 . The more molasses the lower the ph. You have shocked it with an ultra low ph. Stinky is right, flush!

OK so molassas if for adjusting pH. Great, I've been wondering about that. Turns out I need to drop my pH down about a full point so this will work out great. See the answers are all here if you look.

Let us know how things turn out.I use molasses throughout my cycles and flush with one tsp of the brown goo for two - two and half weeks.After the flush,give em a couple of days and they should come back.Take care,be well,and most of all be safe.

Well,it was too late for my plant.All the leaves shriveled up,and died,and there was no flushing that kind of damage out.I went ahead and harvested her,and got a whopping 10 grams of buds.I should have read a little more about the molasses.oh well,I always have back ups ready to go,and I don't mind starting over.PEACE
