Oh, I definitely add molasses. Thanks though...other options are good. I find that plants like variety as much as we do.A week is really all I would worry about in this situation, jack. Even less if you use a flushing agent like FloraKleen (even then, I'm not really sure how necessary that would be if you're 100% organic).
You need to add simple sugars to that mix to get great tasting buds, in my opinion. I use three different things, depending on what I have on hand and what I feel like--molasses, malted barley extract (I thin this stuff down, it's like glue otherwise)(it's for home beer brewing), and panela/pinocha/piloncillo. I'm sure you could also use jaggery, date and palm sugars, as they're typically not very processed and still in a relatively simple carbohydrate form. I honestly don't know *why* it makes the difference it does, but it does.
1tsp/gal every couple of feeds, even every feed if you so desire, and 1tsp/5gals during flush. Religiously.
Uh, wow! That makes me want to get out of growing pot and start making compost tea packages. SPENDY!Check out Vermi-T for tea.

Thanks but I don't think our patients would like that cost passed on to them. I will continue brewing my own aerobic and anaerobic C teas as I have always done. If it aint broke...don't pay $70 for it!! lol:worried
He Ha man. I hear ya. I don't use it either but I know it works wonders. I use Genesis compound and Tonic but Hell yeah if you have been making teas then You'll do fine pro-mix. I like the flavor of buds grown in pro-mix better then any other. It's just my taste. But then again I still like a two week flush. Probably cost me a little but the buds are faded lime color and yummy yummy.
Got me thinking....can I get the same results with only a week flush?? What do you all think.
I'm all about the sugars baby. I use Bio-Bizz molasses based nutes and still use molasses or sucanat with Sweet at the end.
Not trying to run away with your thread but I'd like to hear what everyone thinks about that.
Keeping patient cost to a minimum is important for sure but I wonder why the good organic grown buds don't cost more then chem grown anyway. It cost more to produce. Everthing else thats organic cost more. I guess thats why the market is flooded with over fertilized unflushed chemical filled buds that taste like crap. It pays more to do so.
Not trying to get off track too much. I just have to deal with this all the time. People demanding organics but don't want to pay more for them.
It sounds like you have the skills you'll need to get a successful harvest. Happy growing. I'll be looking for a thread if you get one going. Follow you on your first pro-mix run.. that would be cool.
