Has anyone ever heard of substituting dextrose for molasses in their plant's water? I could use molasses but there's too much K in it, since I'm growing in coir.

Mole asses have other micronutrients other than sugars and K.

Maybe use 1/2 amt of mole asses and augment with other natural sugars.

be careful with dextrose. i've used molasses before but days after using dextrose i had a huge green mold invasion on my growing medium...
