yeah I wasn't too specific initially was I, my bad but just about as much as you can keep on a tsp from the jar to the bucket. Yours fried once? first time hearing that with molasses. I personally have never used it but after seeing so much good with it why not?
so maybe that is the issue...
But yeah the fact it's only like 3 out of 8 is weird (yea, 8 girls out of 10) as far as drainage it's good. Every watering it filters through the bottom so drainage isn't an issue. There's like at least 20, 1/4'' holes under each with about a good 1/4 to 1/2'' of perlite layer on the bottom before the soil, but the pots sit on carpet.
