By the way, whats the strain?

Sweet (so to speak:D). Thanks guys. I planned to check that tonight.

No idea on the strain. This is my first grow, started just to learn what wasn't found in books and threads (hands ON). I got the seeds from a friend who grew outdoors last year. The plant was some sort of skunky kind bud. :thumbsup: However daddy was an unknown. She had some males, that she pulled up, but a couple dropped pollen. There are also some huge legal grows just a couple miles upwind. Thus it is completely unknown, but not Mexican! :D

Year before last she had a purple strain in the same yard that seeded. So it's possible these have a colored father. Woot! :thumbsup:

Now I guess the question could be,.. Is the sugar daddy or molasses a better choice? If molasses is better I'll switch. If it's about the same, I'll stick with what I'm doing. :D

Before ditching the expensive stuff, I'd check and see if you like the molasses any better. Could give it the old side-by-side and see. I like it because I know what's in it, and it's cheaper, and it works, and it replaces a couple of products I'd otherwise have (want?) to buy.

Having said that...I still have a half bottle of Sweet, and a 3/4 full bottle of CalMag Plus I haven't used in a while. Perhaps my roses will like 'em come springtime though.

take rustys advice on that. I had great results with molasses and soil. If your in soil or a soiless mix I would use molasses but with a hydro grow go with sugar daddy or any other carbo suppliament cause molasses gets funky in a Rez.
