The soil, air, and even to a certain extent the water all carry Carbon in some form. Molasses is simply a nice safe way to guarantee that your plants have a good source that they can uptake through the roots. Go ahead and add some molasses, a couple tablespoons per gallon is PLENTY, and you don't need to add it at every watering.

My molasses schedule:
1 glob per economy-sized laundry detergent bottle approximately whenever I remember to/ feel like adding it... glob size is dependent upon ambient temperature... Oh, and I add sweet or topmax at a slightly lower dose than the manufacturers recommend along with teh molasses.
I got some Blackstrap today and plan on getting some sweet also, which will both be used for next grow. I will probably use the mollasses every other feeding or once every three feedings. Should i use the sweet every feeding, or only when i use the mollasses???

Also, Stinky i was thinking of adding liquid karma, for over-all health of my plants, i figured they could use the vitamins. What else does liquid karma do for the plant?? and would it be suitable with mollasses, sweet, and FF 3-part liquids?? or is it not needed..
