I use molasses @ 2 tbs/gallon with no nothing bad. Maybe you jus spill a little on this leaf?
i haven't spilled any on the leaves. i am using reverse osmosis water that has a pH of about 7.2 and 32 PPM. i was using the molasses to bump the PPM to about 235 with 1 tsp. i am running hempys. i am assuming that the molasses wasn't being uptaken by the plant. perhaps the microbes in soil need to break it down for it to be used. it's not chelated. i have since started using calmag+ and the problem seems to have cleared up. it was happening to all of my plants, including a few of the soil ones?

i suppose your theory is as good as mine though shove. it also could have been a problem with my wandering pH pen. all the new growth appears fine though.
