when to start molasses?

[jamar001]

and do you keep using it during flush or not? i starting flushing last week plain phd water.....12 full weeks on a bagseed i stressed just enough to reduce yield but not hermy......shes late in flower but did show small nanners(in the bud tops) last week tho, just a few, now leaves turning yellow, drying and dropping. No amber trichs just some milky.......any advice greatly appreciated. looks like i will be lucky to get a half, but so far looks/smells/tastes excellent. Cant wait to chop but given the yield i want full effect.

you can use molasses all the way through, or you can stop during the flush. either way, there shouldn't be much difference. perhaps next time do both and let us know the results!

keep in mind that when to harvest is a personal preference. once trichs start to turn amber, THC is degrading. when most of your trichs are cloudy is optimum harvest time. again, adjust for desired effects.

Headshake has ya on the right track. :thumbsup:

I give mine molasses all the way through. 1/2 tsp per gallon per week in growth phase, 1 tsp per gallon per week in flower. (approximate NPK of 1-0-5) Feeds the plant various micronutes, calcium, magnesium, iron. Feeds the beneficial bacteria in the soil, too. Seedlings and clones get the mix once mature enough for nutrients.

I use nothing but properly ph'd water after final flushes. Ya don't need more stuff feeding the plant at this point, that's why you flush. You aren't flushing the plant, you're flushing the soil so there's less available for the roots to uptake. :jointsmile:
