ive heard some people say that if you add molasses to your plants while budding it can increase the sugar intake wich inturns make you thc content more potent? if this is true im in 3rd week into budding and im about to change my resivoir i have a 10gallon tank. how much do i put in and for how long. if theres any pros and cons worth mentioning please do so thanks:hippy:
i dont think molasses really make thc content more potent, it adds carbon to the plant which in return gives the plant more mass and it also helps bring out the natural oils and resins and flavors in the bud, its good to use molasses throughout the whole grow
do you happen to know the regements for 10 gall resevior and i change it every 2 weeks?
I was told to use anywhere from a teaspoon to a tablespoons per 3 gallons. So for you a couple of tablespoons would do the job.
in soil grows, I just throw a big old glop of blackstrap unsulphured mollases to a gallon of water ... I'm estimating my big old glop is about 3 tablespoons ... in hydro, I only use about a 1/3 of a glop (one Tbsp), cause its a little messy ... I have definitely seen an increase in 'bud bulk' using it in my soil-grows ... :thumbsup:
Honey works nicely too in soil if you want to try that. Use it in the last week before you flush. People told me that the flowers doubled in size overnight.
double ??? :wtf: no ... don't believe everything you hear, you will see improvement over the couple months of flowering, but nothing like that ... honey doesn't stay dissolved in cool water, molasses seems to be OK in that respect ... I give a dose midway thru vegging, and once a week in flowering ... like anything else, it can probably be overdone ... :smokin:Quote:

Maximum Yield - Why Use Sugary Supplements?
thats great info treetops thanks,so basically add any type of fructose glucose xylose or arabinose to the plant so it can bud better faster and sweeter sounds like a win-win to me i was reading ed rosenthals book and he said you could inject it with a needle,so maybe ill try it out ,thanks again
Your welcome, I'm not into the needle aspect...just add it to the rez and go from there...in any event, let us know how you make out...

well i messed up royally i foilar sprayed and the bus were so compact that the water got trapped and the 400 watts hps created codensation and i checked my plants the next day and they were so wilted and completlet lost its firmness it was like a tooth dangiling on by a root so i thought that it would just dry up and be okay but checked the next day and it was curled up and really crunchy i mean just brittle it must of burnt the thc because it smells like lawn clipping instead of blueberry like it did. its not sticky anymore so i have 1 and a half weeks so im pulling it
...:(
Damn shame, HippyGirl. If it's only 1 1/2 weeks from harvest, I hope you can salvage some smokeable bud.
Good luck! :thumbsup:

That sucks. I add molasses to my res in hydro and aero. Yet as mentioned, never use honey. It's not true. The injection thing sounds weird too.
