    Molasses

    Hi ..... I am nearly into week 5 of flower and I am chuffed to bits with the progression of my ladies, after week 6 of veg
    they were starting to look a little unwell so I introduced molasses into their mix and instantly got top results as they all turned into the greenest of greens...... is it ok to continue with the molasses throughout the flower period and does it effect the taste or should I do something different considering I am nearing week 10 and time to harvest and I have given these girls full attention every step of the way.
    i am a little concerned and would be pleased to receive some knowledge. Thankyou Robbo.

    I never had a problem with molasse during the flowering phase. I use the unsulphured kind. Yes some will debate about it but it's my preference.

    Yes - unsulphured Blackstrap molasses is your man. Speaking from experience, (joke - this is my first grow!) I've been giving my girls molasses about once a week ever since they went to flower about five/six weeks ago. All my leaves look wonderfully healthy and my my buds getting fatter by the day. Whether that's due to molasses, I can't say, but it certainly hasn't harmed the ladies.

        I start using RAW NPK dry molasses from veg until harvest. Microbes and bacteria feed on the sugars. Which is a good thing. These Microbes and bacteria will consume dead root matter and sugars then their waste acts as nutrients for your roots.
