Yet another Molasses question. Stinky? Anybody?

[elway07]

well here is a couple of "Before" pics that I took before I watered and fed it with molasses... this way if it does in fact begin to yellow you will hopefully be able to help me figure out why exactly..

[elway07]

By the way, is there a specific brand of unsulphered molasses preferred over others?

What a nice looking plant! I think it looks healthy. BUt SERIOUSLY pot bound. Put it in a bigger pot with good soil and you will have an easier time correcting any problems.
Those lower yellow leaves are normal. They don't get much light and will eventually die off on their own. No worries there.
Any brand is fine, Grandma's is easy to find.

Yeah I use grandmas. Good then I have a good product. Thanks for the compliments. It will be so hard to repot at this stage. Yeah the lower leaves I wasn't worried about and just snipped them off. That was just a before picture.... because as I said earlier when I add molasses it begins to yellow. I usually use 5 gallon buckets for a plant that size. Needless to say it grew much larger than the normal 3 times when I put it into flower.
Right now it's in about a 2 gallon potter. Still way too small?

[elway07]

oh and far as my soil goes... I mix my own so that I have a great mix of everything it needs, drains well yet still hangs on to some moisture. It always works great. I had to learn the hard way over a year ago about soil when I first started. ;-)

My girl is starting to yellow as I feared a bit. Not as much as last time, but again I didn't introduce the full dose of molasses right away. I am easing her in this time. I will get pics and post them later today when her lights come back on... Hopefully it won't be worse than last night. I am also having a general yellowing issue with my other plants. I am thinking an N def. I will post those as well and you guys can help me.
thanks,
Elway

I just bought a 5 gallon bucket of molasses at the feed store for $18.00

[elway07]

Wow! That's waaayyy cheap. I may just have to check out my local feed stores! Thanks

You are really limiting your potential with that tiny pot.
That looks like a 3 foot bush, and shoudl be in MINIMUM a 3-5 gallon pail. Maybe peesteve will give you the one from his molasses when he runs out

Maybe psteve will give you the one from his molasses when he runs out

Lets see...
I use about a pint per week, minus the 4 weeks I'll be in Holland, and a couple weeks to get things going, so that bucket will be available approximately the first of next February.
Remind me around the first of the year!
