I had used some blackberry syrup thats made up of just sugar and blackberrys and did about a tablespoon per gallon and was wondering if this is acceptable?? What other substitutes can be used other than molases itself?? Thanks!
from what I've read, the only 2 sugars really used was molasses (mostly in flower) and corn syrup (to aide in root development). I've used a teaspoon of corn syrup in water in a spray bottle to spray on clones in rockwool and gotten good results and good roots systems. the only problem with using this mixture for foliar feeding is that you have to spray/rinse corn syrup off after a few sprays (you can see build up on leaves). molasses also made a difference at end of last grow (found out about it kinda late in grow)
