Blackstrap Molasses ?

I just noticed I misread a suggested measurement of molasses to water. I used 1 teaspoon for a gallon of water. Was it too much to worry about?
 
I start with 1tablespoon a gallon on my seedlings. Every 2weeks.
When they been flowering a week or two, I go to 2tablespoons a gallon of water until harvest.
No you didn't hurt anything, it's almost impossible to hurt your plants with molasses .
Good luck, with yours BCR.;)
 
The molasses does not feed the plant directly, it feeds the microbes in the soil, those microbes make nutrients available for your plant. You really can not over due it like that... I measure 1 tablespoon (wihich is 3 teaspoons) per gallon by eye for years and have gone totally overboard with no ill effects.
 
Totally agree with Daas and Toker.
About the only way you can mess them up with molasses, is to slop it on the lower bud sites. I did that to my first grow, I mixed it real rich, and didn't really mix it to well, and slopped a bunch on my lower buds, cause I was stupid. I managed to grow some black suity mold on them, and had to throw them out, but my humidity was also way high. I still use molasses, and it is AWESOME! Best buds so far, i have been bubbling earth worm castings and molasses, and they are getting rock hard and growing big.
 
Yes it feeds your soil, but it also feeds your plant too, it's full of stuff like calcium, magnesium, iron, sulfur,
 
I only use Un-Sulphured molasses on my girls. The calcium, iron, and mag. is not very abundent in molasses. I would think the tap water you give the girls will have more calcium inside it than the molasses does.
I was specifically speaking about the carbohydrates. After all, that is what molasses is mostly comprised of. The plant doesn’t utilize them. They feed the microbes inside the soil, who then make nutrients that are available for the plant to use.
 
People make their own Blackstrap where I live, been using it many many years,
It does more than feed your soil, it's good on biscuits too.
Pretty sure all know about, the unsulfered part.
 
Are they using beats or cane? I make mine from raw sugar cane. And the make great cookies as well.

From sugar cane, all the oldtimers got mules grinding it up, they been doing it like that forever, I reckon, we all used to ride on the mules, when they were going around in a circle, when we were about 3-5years old.lol
We all still love chewing cane,
