Blackstrap Molasses in DWC

[Revanche21]

good or bad idea?

I know there is lots of info out on the boards but it seemed like huge amounts of reading to be done and I've read mixed results

What's your take on it?

I know very little of these systems,but if theres pumps and emitters involved,I'd say mechanically it's not a great idea to use molasses which are very thick...Why not use an organic carbohydrate synthesizer such as Botanicare Sweet which is much thinner...

molasses dissolves in the water. stir it up a bit

I use grandmas.... I would say in a heavy dose. I put it into damn near boiling water and it dissolves fine. I water using a sump pump and a wand....never had to replace my pump. Its a one-two years old.

My girls love it! I say go for it and try for yourself!

I have read plenty posts on here where people use molasses and it seems to work fine, so why pay silly money for additives form a store.

be careful start small I read a thread awhile back on a hydro setup and he put too much molasses and it was a bitch cleaning everything in middle of flower time. I think we need a molasses caution&problems, how too fix thread,as one guy in the molasses thread said it fucked up his grow and causes the roots too rot,and why aren't the pro's like stinky using molasses.

I myself have not used molasses yet but after reading about it and if I can find it in the shops over here I am sure going to give it a try next grow.
I am sure it will be good as long as it is mixed well.:thumbsup::jointsmile:

I understand that if you do not clean your equipment properly any prouduct with sugar molasses you create a breeding ground for bacteria, maybe thats why his grow fucked up.:jointsmile:
