Sulphered Molasses Question.

[BuDGooDE]

Hi folks. I have just acquired some agricultural grade molasses and was told that animal grade molasses is un-sulphered. As it happens after a little research the one i got does contain sulpher :_( DAMN !!! what damage can it do and what should i do to prevent it. Many thanks BuD.

Do you have living soil? Don't think it will be a big deal either way, just a small amount of sulfur dioxide. Can't you get regular black-strap unsulphured at the grocery aisle?

Believe it or not you could use them on skin injuries.

The mollases would act as a skin protectant, and the sulphur will kill bacteria and viruses on the skin and prevent inflammation.

Ha Ha sounds great @Two.Bears :-) just watch out for wasps, bees and ants lol. Sorry just had a funny thought of someone covered in Molasses being swarmed lol.

Here is a list of ingredients in the Molasses i already have. Sulpher does seem quite low.
Each kg contains: Protein 10.06% Ash 12.12% Fibre 0.2% Oil 0% Moisture 35.7% Calcium 0.58-1.1% Phosphorus P 0.05-0.11% Potassium 2.7-4% Sulphur 0.46% Zinc 0-15mg/kg

Feed store molasses is the stuff you want - anything from a hydro shop (hi brix, black strap, etc) is usually watered down so it mixes into a res properly, then preserved with either citric or phosphoric acid which will harm microfauna in your media/tea brew.

Things in grocery stores are pasturized and often contain preservatives as well, not to mention it's expensive as fuck.

Feed store molasses is minimally processed and 100% what you should be using.

you'll love it - just make sure to mix into warm water before adding to the res. The stuff makes insane teas - def my best results with feed grade.

It definitely looks and smells the biz :-) I have been adding warm water first, just does'nt mix properly otherwise does it ? I've used it last 3 feedings and alls looking good. However i am thinking of watering it in seperately as it seems to drop the ph in nutes quite a bit.
