I got a gallon of horticultural molasses for 9.50 USD with tax. It smells oddly sweet and is the color of rich composted soil. I have a feeling it is great for fortification and microbes. For the price I am satisfied. I guess the kelp tea and the molasses should work partially as a catalyst....I feel like I am missing something in that equation though. :wtf:

I also read that too high of a temperature for brewing molasses kills the essentail organsims. Something like over 85 degrees and it needs to breathe. I figure it is better to buy the pre-mix until I get good at the tea.

I do not use a bubbler for tea brew for now. I got a pitcher at a dollar store and I cup scoop the dry mix into a woman's knee high stocking. I tie a knot and place it in the covered vented pitcher. The tea bag looks like a soft tube. I poor hot water onto it and usually adds up to 32 ounces and makes a bad ass tea. I got a spoon to mix and in about 12 hours it is completely brewed. The bag can be used again but for less water - that's for kelp but pretty sure it works for smaller grains too.

there are some ery interesting things pointed out on here i am planning o put ino practice so any more info would be great

[veggii]

so this should've had a sticky awhile back when it was first posted whats the holdup? definately a first class article

and I saw a mention of table sugar but thats all I saw anyone got more info on using table sugar? 1tsp to a gal?

texasgrass nice article but I noticed it was kinda compressed together instead of having the chapters separated like the original articile (for future reference) makes reading the post 95% easier having the space inbetween as one gets lost in the huge chapter.
"help I'm stuck in there can't find my way out" lol

The one thing I don't think I saw mentioned is that if there are not enough micro-organisms present, then the plant will end up with root rot. This happened to me while growing in bubble jugs, and I lost 5 large girls in the last weeks of flower.
I don't think I want to risk that again. I'll stick with raw cane sugar, if I use anything at all.

It would be very nice if more growers could chime in on problems&fixes from using molasses, as this person appears too be the only person thats ever had a problem using molasses,and i believe alot more growers have had problems with molasses that way us noobi's can fix things if we run into problems with molasses as this thread highly recommends, alot will try too use it.

I would use plain white sugar then as I know nothing about the others, and honey does have some odd properties...
Anyway sugars are just a supplement... they can wait a few days

can you please give more info on plain white sugar table sugar , how much to use 1 teaspoon per gallon? what kind of problems can you run into?


also texasgrass I wrote in my above about the article chapters compressed together makes hard too read I wrote the wrong word I meant paragraph's
I couldn't remember the word last nite paragraph's paragraph's paragraph's lol man my memory is jacked up .:wtf:

I don't think honey would be a suitable substitute for molasses ... honey is nature's 'antibiotic', it could kill beneficial organisms in the solution/soil, I would think ... :jointsmile:

Ok Since My plant doesnt take 1 gal of water everytime...about how much molasses should I give it? I know you should start with like 1 teaspoon per gallon then work up to 1 tablespoon and so on...but If Im only watering my plant with about 250mL every other day how much molasses should i add?

Hi, Try 1/4 teaspoon to one quart.
