Autoflowering AK47Lowryders & Molasses questions

I did a search, but what I am really looking for is some input & information about using Organic Blackstrap Molasses (unsulphered) from some of
you that are here now...(not necessarily from threads say 3 years ago.)
Also since I'm doing autoflowering lowryders any input from AF growers is
always a good thing.

I have two indoor AK-47 autoflowering lowryders that are about 12 days old in MG under cfl's.

What I want to know is;
When can I add molasses? Now? or Should I wait till they're older?
Will the MG be a problem?
How much per gallon / waterings etc, and how often can I use molasses?
When should I stop using molasses?

The organic molasses I would like to use contains;
750mg Potassium
115mg Calcium
8% Magnesium
4g total Carbs

A lot of people have come and gone from this forum, but right now we have some really great growers here. I have a good idea about doing this
but I would love to hear some input.
Thanx.:thumbsup:

I'm using sugar daddy from technaflora.
I used it throughout the entire grow, not sure if it did anything.
I'll probably just start using it in flower stage only.

I agree you are using molasses for sugars for buds, so only use it when flowering. those auto flowers are supposed to be budding the moment they pop out of the seed but I would wait till they are at least showing some hairs on those bud sites. sugars are in form of botanicars sweet, Advanced N. Bud Candy, Flora floralicoucs, they are all kind of the same they have sugars to phaten and sweeten buds. all of the sugar products also have cabs, and sugars which feed beneficial Bactria, beneficial fungi. never seen anyone use molasses but I see the products from hydro stores used all the time.

I made a batch of said molasses using ½ tsp per gallon of water, and only use it once per week.
I will wait on using it till I see the first flowers. :thumbsup:

I just read that I can use 1 tsp molasses per gallon (instead of ½ tsp) everytime I water. But only after the first sign of sex/flower.

Hopefully someone can confirm this as I have another week yet b4 flowering.:thumbsup:

rain i have yet to use molasses on auto's. So let me know how that works out. If using mg soil. I transplant at first sign of flowering into mg then no nutes till week 4 then stop nutes at weel 7-8 so you can flush the remainig week or so. i have a new auto in the making. Wait till you see what i have accomplished will post in a few days. They get 2-3 feet tall and yield 2 ounce or more in 9 weeks from seed. I call them my big O auto's.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

I did some lurking at another site and found a great section on AF Lowryders. I got into a conversation with someone who's done this before and it sounds like a good thing.
I still have 'em in cups right now, should be ready to transplant next week or so. I used 1 gal pots last time with good results, do you think bigger pots this time will be a good idea? Or not?
I only averaged about 20g's with my last lowryders, but I'm using more lights this time around. Hoping to get to 30g's.
I will eventually post some pics. Need batteries in my camera, cell phone pics suck.

Wow! those big "O"'s sound good! cant wait to see 'em.
I deffinetly like the 2 oz yeild! :thumbsup:
