Hey Dutch,
Thanx for your reply bro.:thumbsup:
Well, I believe you might have nailed the problem for me when you mentioned "small pots".
The size of the plants in relation to the size of the pots escaped me because they were so small, but looking at the thickness of the main stalk made me realize there may be some truth to that.
So, I transplanted them both into a 7 gal container.(only had one) The roots were starting to root bound. The roots were still a good white color, so I'm assuming the molasses wasn't over done, but they def outgrew their pots in a hurry. I didn't give molasses until day 22, (as recommended) and I only give it every other watering.

Hopefully they should both do ok. Time will tell.
