i'm using the roots organics master program with their "trinity" catalyst...I don't use more than 5ml per watering along with hygrozyme and every other week I do 3-5 ml of GO CaMg which contains molasses as well.

Late in harvest I stop use of CaMg.

Mollassas is great. But remember. It offers very little available food for plants. It's more of a food for micro organisms. Which in turn then feeds the plant.

I'm not familiar with endo and ecto bacteria, I am with fungi. The fungi won't appreciate the molasses, but bacteria will. I do use molasses throughout the grow @ 1tsp/gal, give or take. I go lower during flush, 1tsp (5mls)/5gals, translates to 1ml/gal.

don't think u should be using molasses that close to harvest but not positive.

ok, so im growing some grape ape clones in #2 pots with ocean forest soil... i added the recomended amount of aurora Oregonism XL about two weeks ago to boost the roots ability to absorbe nutes. i understand that the endo and ecto bacteria love molasses... does anybody else use molasses? how much and how often... is there anything better to use?

Ectos (mycorrhizae fungi) are totally useless when it comes to cannabis. You want endos only.

my bad. new to this kind of thing. I will only reply to newer posts from now on... I have read that in a soil-mix magnesium will cause smoke to become harsh if used in large? quantities towards the end of flowering. As usual I would have to try it out myself to have an idea how much is too much.

Magnesium and molasses are two different things, so you've lost me there. No worries on the post, it just made me chuckle.

I thought my biscuits had been tasting funny! :confused: That explains it! Haha! I use unsulphered blackstrap. I begin adding it about 1 or 2 feeds before flipping at 1 TBSP/Gal. Once in flowering, I usually run it at the same rate, but I've been known to bump it up to 2TBSP in a guano tea with no ill-effects. IMO, it offers a host of benefits!

Best,

Max :wacky:

Exactly UNSULPHERED. And really measurements don't have to be exact. Just around that area. It's great to use just use it randomly. No need to steady feed. It will work. But to much and you will taste it. You want to taste the natural flavor in the herb not just molasses.

Ive found a big difference in consistencies from different sources of molasses. All say blackstrap unsulfured but some are very thin and runny while the one I've been susing forever is very thick. Have no idea why this is other than some manufacturers maybe dilute in some way. Im using Plantation Blackstrap unsulfured, very thick, 15% mag, 20% ca, 20% iron. MGG

I use Brer Rabbit unsulphured black strap. It's thick as hell. When you get to the bottom is like waiting on a glass hienz ketchup bottle. So 1tsp of this I would believe that it would go further than a more liquified brand. But not like molasses feedings need to be exact like other additives. And I have no idea actually how much Mag is in it but you def have me going and looking after work.
