Molasses and flushing

[Gingerbeard]

But does molasses need to be flushed?

Okay, first yes you are right, second I just tried some of my smoke. My IQ went from 120 to 70, now I see.*Laughing*

My plants eat my soil not much left after a grow

Yes it is already broken down from its original form when they make the molasses. Its converted to a simpler form. Then you mix it with water so its basically a liquid. If you put raw cane it would need to break down.

[Ace1973]

I am just thinking in the terms of decomposition, and how much those microbes would break down. I mean consider the plant matter in soil already, that takes time to breakdown, I am probably putting to much thought into it.

[Spidermite]

You can see the difference in swelling of buds really quickly so I would have to say no or not enough to notice.

[Ace1973]

Would it take time to break down?

[Spidermite]

No it also has anino acids, sugars, etc etc. It feds the microbes on top of having good things for the plant.

[Ace1973]

Would calmag do the same thing as molasses?

[Gingerbeard]

I'll have to try it on my future grows.

I've been using molasses for a while now for sure I've seen and tasted a big difference. I use the same way as spider 1tablespoon but use 2 at the end couple weeks with Just ph water. Also the molasses helps my soil to hold on a few more weeks I don't use nute lines or scheduled feedings.

[Spidermite]

I always add molasses (unsulphered) to my grow regimine. And i usually start my last 2 weeks of flower with just ph'd water with 1 tablespoon molasses per gallon. It helps alot.

On that note I got 2 gallons of molasses from a mennonite store today for $11. Couldnt believe it was that cheap. Yay for me.

I have maybe a week before harvesting. I'm going to flush at least twice before I do. Been using the GO Box for nutes. I just read that molasses should be added in the second half of flowering. Will adding molasses this late in the game improve my buds? They've been flowering 11 weeks and a day. Also, is it something that needs to be flushed in future grows?
