I use it every time I feed my girls- I use about a tablespoon per gallon of water that I have my flowering nutes in-disolve the molasses in warm water then stir into feed

NEVER. That's my opinion at least. It's not neccessary and doesn't really help, it's just an old tale. Plants don't need granny's sugar syrup added to their water, that's ridiculous, they're plants. If some ppl think it helps, that's fine, but I think it's kind of like a placebo affect of sorts. There's also "the pill", which apparently works wonders, too. But I might actually believe that one, never know with hormones. Kind of curious to try it. Also, aspirin will turn a plant male in a hurry, though that's not usually helpful.

Dude first time i used it, everything got greener:thumbsup: The new growth looked great and the older growth just got a bit thicker. I think its made my buds bigger. Iv been useing the molasses more then my ferts as of late. 1 tbls per 1 gallon of water twice a week will do ya:thumbsup::rasta:

I wouldn't over do it, with the mollasses. It does stain the normally white roots; brown, by harvest time....it could clog them?
I recommend ...once a week...last 4 weeks of flowering, max. Mix very, very well; with warm water.

Mollasses is a good source of both iron and calcium thats why its a good additive ....as far as clogging or staining....the molasses is dissolved in water, being dissolved the key word

That's true, however, iron and calcium are secondar nutrients which are usually readily available, not something you need strong doses of. Many nutrient solutions contain them. Anyway, everyone has their own methods I guess. Side question, anyone have any bug problems from using this sugar water?, lol.

molasses contains several micro nutrients including calcium and magnesium as well as the trace minerals of copper, manganese, iron and zinc. you can substitute molasses for calmag+ if using distilled or RO water.

Calcium 41.0mg
Iron 0.9mg
Magnesium 48.4mg
Phosphorus 6.2mg
Potassium 293mg
Sodium 7.4mg
Zinc 0.1mg
Copper 0.1mg
Manganese 0.3mg
Selenium 3.6mcg

this information is applicable to 1 Tbsp of molasses. most recommend using 1 Tbsp per gallon of water, although some like to bump it up to 2 Tbsp per.

86thcreator, molasses works. molasses has a lot of carbohydrates that the plant can use. your plants create sugar (which is a carb) during photosynthesis. how did you test it? you noticed no positive effects at all?

i use molasses from start to finish. i use 1 Tbsp/gallon on days when the plants get water but no food. they seem to love it. i always notice a thickening in the under growth.

good growing!

I think "usually readilly avalible" are the keywords here! When you grow plants that are "treesize" it is hard to provide them with all the necessary nutes.I personally have a hard time keeping up with my gardens needs...My nute needs far exceed what is on the side of the bottle..I LOVE the EXTRA "BOOST" it gives my ladies...WORKS for ME .....I vote "YES".....With NO bug problems from this NASTY sugarwater.....Try it for yourself,if it works for YOU that is ALL that matters.PERIOD!!!!!!PEACE....

sorry, failed to answer the "sugar water" question. it's not sticky at all nor really sweet once it's been mixed.

LSY uses it outdoors with nary a problem.
