I used to keep my molassess water pre-mixed in gallon jugs too, until after a few days it starts to really stink like crap. I just mix it as needed. I don't know for sure if it goes bad in the water, but I wasn't going to risk it for how that stuff smelled after a few days of sitting.
yea tha smell is nasty, i took a chance twice so far looks fine buds are getting juicy and bigger, dont think its because the molasses yet though only used it 3 times so far
Yea dude I would not let the water sit with molasses in it! Just mix it in before watering then rinse it out.
First time I grew a plant I was taking over just for the flowering. I let the molasses water sit at the bottom of what had drained out and after about a week I noticed every time I watered after that a bunch of little clear things were marching up the side of the pot and buzzing around in the standing water... yuck! I chopped it immediately and threw that shit away.
I have no idea. I first noticed that what looked like dust or something on the water was twitching, then when I looked close I saw they were actually like really tiny bugs, and I saw a line trying to march up the side of the pot and would fall back onto the soil. My guess it was something dormant in the shitty soil I used and the molasses was just the food they needed to grow. My new grow I've been feeding molasses and draining away excess with no problems. Actually been feeding it some molasses since the very beginning of flowering too.
