bozo,
peace, love, dope
I've been using blackstrap molasses in my hydro system ... even in cold water, it dissolves readily, and I have had no build-up issues, etc ... it's been just fine ... I did drop from a tablespoon or two per gallon, to more like a teaspoon per gal. ... I did that only because my last heavily-molasses-dosed plant cured out very sour, both taste and aroma, and I am 'guessing' it may be because I have been using the molasses too heavily ... I think I just overdid it ... I would assume the plant only is going to use a given amount, and I suspect a teaspoon will be enough to work its magic ... (xcrispi recommends 'Sucranate', a health-food store powdered cane sugar extract, swears by it ... I havent tried it yet) :jointsmile:
