Looks like we're doing close to the same things. I also overwater on every watering and suck the overflow out immediately with an ear syringe. Roger also on breaking up the topsoil. Never used a wetting agent, though. I'll look into that. Also have never used molassas, though I've heard of it.

Is there any particular type or brand of molassas to recommend. I'm about four to five weeks away from harvest on these, so maybe now is a good time to start with that. I might try it on one or two of the five to see how it makes them compare to the others. This PCK grow I've got going right now has been a bummer. Very persnickity plants. Very slow growing, though some of that may have been due to my not checking my RO water, just assuming it was OK. After using a few gal of it I did check it to find out what I had was at about 8.5. Now I check every gallon for ph.

The water out here on our end of town is way too hard to use on plants. We don't even drink it. OK for showering, though.
