how to:molasses

[ukbigbud]

Hi all, i was thinking of using ANs bud candy from the start of flower, but ive been told to just use molasses instead?? however there are many types. Which type is the best and more important how and to what ratio do i mix it into my res??

many thanks uk

The molasses that is the best is the organic unsulphured blackstrap kind.

 

[ibTheMan]

B'Cuzz Flavor is best. imo

I use Earth Juice's MFP(Molasses for Plants)

Around me molasses only costs a few dollars but the "nutrient" companies charge 5 times as much for their molasses based products. Three dollars beats twenty each and every day in my book and never seen a noticeable difference in results. Your mileage may vary.

I grow in soil...How often can i feed my plants Molasses?

 

[Surfr]

One teaspoon every feeding.. I am surprised more people haven't jumped onto the Earth Juice High brix molasses.. the stuff is only $15 a gallon.. 100% unsulphured molasses..

I use the earth juice hi-brix. Nice stuff. I give it to my plants once a week at 15 ml per gal as a treat on drip to waste coco.

I just was looking at that high brix molasses last week, for the price I'll stick to regular molasses.
Bud Candy smells like molasses as well, just cost more though.

The Earth Juice MFP says that the ingredients are more plant friendly then straight molasses. Not sure about those claims. I run the EJ line so I like to stick with it. Plush I haven't found a good reliable source of molasses yet, other than MFP. I use it mainly to feed the Great White benes, which I add every other week. I use Rapid Starter in between Great White applications.

I buy from a feed lot for 18 bucks for a 5 gal pail to feed my benies. If you grow herb that tastes bad enough you want to change the flavor I used to use double malted barley molasses that added a distinct flavor I could live with. JK

will molasses alter my flavor ? also if im using molasses should i still be using products like carboload or is it the same stuff

 

[crom]

Hey JK have you found substitutes for all of the typical hydro store nutes? I would like to find a way to do this locally. I figure that all NPK and macros can be found locally if you know what to look for. Any suggestions JK?

Venom, I'm pretty sure carboload is doing the samething, maybe just a synthetic version of molasses? I used to use liquid carboload and liked it. Then I tried to stay as organic as I could and use MFP.

yup earth juice hi brix is the shit

i use at most 1 tbs/5 gals

 

[caregiverken]

I went and looked and "earth juice hi brix" just happens to be the one I have.

But it says on the bottle to use it every 4 weeks

and it say's 1 to 2 tsp per gal.

So if I mix it weaker I can use it more often?

 

[motherlode]

I use it about every 2 weeks and then every other water for the last 2 weeks

I just think 1-2 tsp gal is a waste - prolly not hurting anything but still

NOooooooo using sugar will convince the plant it is in final stages and cause it to finish early effecting yeild. Use in making compost tea.

 

[caregiverken]

This is the first I have heard of this. Anything to back up the claim?
