Does molasses grow mold?

  1. So i have a gallon of water that i mixed about 2 table spoons of unsulfured molasses into. I was just wondering if this molasses water will be good for watering in the future? I ask because ive heard that molasses goes bad in the water very quickly. Any input is appreciated.
     
  2. I think 2 tbs is a bit much. I'd dump half your water out and then refill with fresh water. I then use a fish tank bubbler to aerate the water for about 24 hours and then water the plants with it. I'm not sure I'd leave it sit longer than a few days incase some unhealthy microorganisms started feeding on the sugars in the molasses water.
     
  3. ^^ I agree ^^ 2 tbs is way too much. I use about 5 ml in a gl of water at 6.5 - 6.8 PH. I mix it a few hours before I use it. I do the same with nutes. I allow the water to sit in my grow area so it will be the same temp when adding it to the soil.
     
  4. Search for 3LB mollasses guide and you will have your answers I promise.
