Carb. synsthesizers Q: (Sweet)

[cwesto]

I am starting bloom tomorow and am going to be using BigBloom, TigerBloom, Liquid Karma, and Sweet and Molasses. A little insight into my feeding schedule is:

30ml big bloom
7.5ml tiger bloom
5ml liquid karma
1 medium drizzle of molasses every 2-3 waterings
?ml Sweet, every ? watering.

I feed 2 times in a row, then on the third watering I dont use any ferts or additives. So its just water every third watering.

My question is about the Sweet and the molasses. I have heard that molasses only needs to be used once every two or three feedings. But what I want to know is how often I should use the Sweet?

Should I use the sweet only when I use the molasses, or more like every feeding?? Anybody with any experiece with this, or these products I am looking for YOUR input.
Thankyou

I use 1Tbsp of Molasses and 15 ML of sweet every other watering. I add it to my regular nute watering and then the next watering I use plain water.

Hasn't caused me any problems at all.

I've had PH problems recently but this is due to heavy flushing I had to do and part of my medium being peat based <grrrr>.

You should be fine I would think but I haven't been growing long enough to provide expert advice, this is just from my own personal expierence.

Also from my personal experience, I use Sweet and Molasses approximately "whenever I remember to" at the rate of 10-15mL/gal Sweet and 1 glob molasses in the watering jug (holds a couple gals) and shaken well before app. Super extra awesome visual results can be attained by adding some SnowStorm to your flowering nutes, and even at a fairly low dose the 'look' of the crystals is improved.
The nice thing about carb synth products like sweet and topmax is that they are reasonably gentle to the plants and within reason, exact scheduling and measurement isn't going to make or break your grow.

Thanks you guys and girls for your input. Stinky I think I might leave out the snowstorm this time, I already am using alot of tyhings here and dont want to overdue it you know.

So are you guys and girls saying that the sweet necessary every time I add nutes? or just every time those nutes include the molasses?

what is molasses used for and were do you get it? is it neccesary?

You can get *unsulphured* molasses anywhere. It's basically sugar for the plant. It supplies sugars to the plant saving the plant energy that would normally be expended producing these sugars. Instead the plant is able to focus on bud and resin production :thumbsup:
