Use Sucanat at the rate of: 2 Tablespoons per Gallon water.
I settled on sucanat only because
>>>>>>a) it has no additives like sodium.
>>>>>>b) sucanat has molasses in it, it is the raw product without the molasses removed.
>>>>>>c) it is much easier to work with.
If your using black strap molasses be careful and make sure it does NOT have --Sulfur or sulfites-- in the ingredient list and the amount of Sodium..
Sucanat (Soo-ka-nat)
Let's talk about this pure and organic product eh?
In 2008, a friend named "Subcool" of TGA Genetics.. (The Green Avengers), (Sub knows me as Cartman btw) put this together..
Comments: I spent some time compiling information on Sucanat after being bombarded with question about this very pure form of sugar. Sucanat (which is a concatenation of Sugar Cane Natural) is non-refined cane sugar that has not had the molasses removed from it like refined white sugar. It is essentially pure dried sugar cane juice. The juice is extracted by mechanical processes.[1]
Sucanat is generally accepted as a substitute for brown sugar. Unlike regular brown sugar, sucanat is grainy instead of crystalline.
"More importantly, Sucanat supplemented herb has an aroma and flavor all its own. It won't cover up the natural smell of your plants, but it'll add an extra richness and flavor to the strain. Some varieties that I've seen grown with Sucanat take on the flavor so much that they smell like carmel candy when you break up a bud. Joints rolled with Sucanat-grown ganja taste delicious all the way down to last ember burning against your fingertip. Bong hits linger on your tongue for hours, and even a quick hit off a pipe during lunch break becomes a momentary orgasm of sweet, savory goodness as the smoke rolls of your lips."
We all know that white sugar is like the devil. It's got zero nutritional value and rots our teeth. It also makes us feel crappy when we eat it because it makes our blood sugar level spike up and then come crashing down. Imagine what it does to our poor plants.
Have you heard of Sucanat? It stands for Sugar Cane Natural. It's sugar in its most natural form - pure cane juice with only the water removed. This process preserves all the vitamin-filled molasses. It's organically grown with no added preservatives or additives.
Sucanut can be used in place of white sugar or brown sugar when baking, and adds a wonderful flavor due to the molasses. Unlike refined white sugar, Sucanat contains iron, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin B6, potassium and chromium. So you will also be getting nutritional value when you smoke your herb.
Look for Sucanat in the baking aisle at your local health food store. It's a little bit more expensive than refined white sugar, but you're paying for the extra vitamins. Try it next time you bake some cookies or muffins. It can also be used to sweeten sauces and marinades, adds a wonderful flavor to your weed due to the molasses. Unlike refined white sugar, Sucanat contains iron, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin B6, potassium and chromium.adds a wonderful flavor due to the molasses.
use two tbs per gallon, it gives it carbohydrates which the plant has to make to photosynthesize, so it lightens the work load on the plant and all the extra carbs can be used to build bud, and you also get the benefit of the enhanced flavor of the weed.
t doesn't get any better then this..
END OF SUBCOOL's COMMENTS
Citric Acid is needed for your plants to fully benefit from Sucanat and be able to uptake it in the Kreb Cycle.. so do some further research on this before just jumping on board and be sure your getting the most out of Sucanat. And be careful, Citric Acid is a PH down and should be used at the proper ratio.. I believe Black Strap Molasses already contains citric acid and is cheap, probably why most choose it.. but the more one gets into organics the more you realize pure organic is worth doing the research.. I mean, people actually smack their lips after taking a toke off my weed... I used to get this result using Sweet Berry flavor on a Berry flavored weed.. but got tired of having to have the product in Citrus Flavor, Berry Flavor etc etc.. versus one product that does everything.... GOOD LUCK
