Using Molasses as a nutrient

[madmoney42]

I picked up some House of Herbs Blackstrap Molasses from Meijer for like 2 or 3 bucks, will this kind work or is there a certain brand....

Read the ingredients: As long as there is no sulfur in it your plants will be fine!

thanks leapfrog for the great info, I'm using pure blend pro grow and flower. Could I add the molasses to the water I use to feed with? Also, should I add it to all water the plant gets in both veg and flowering? Again, thank you for posting this.

Yes you add it to the water during the last about 1/3 of the living cycle of the plant. That's how I recommend it. Then stop the same time you stop fertilizing (about 2 weeks before harvest).

If you have enough plants see if you can exclude one from feeding Molasses to and let us know the difference.

I use "Brier Rabbit's Unsulfered Molasses" which apparently is owned by "Grandmas"

Works great.. 2tblsb/gal every 2 days for me!

What would happen if I was to Veg with Molasses? If it does all that I've read it does I see no reason why not to Veg with it as well. I'm a nub though so what do you guys think?

Now my plant gets water cocktails, Molasses, Superthrive and this stuff called VX-11. MMmm grow!

if your ferts are all organic, or if thats irreverent, do you have to stop 2 weeks before harvest? cant you feed up until harvest?
