I am interested in how other growers use molasses to enhance their grows. I usually give my plants about 1-1.5 teaspoon per gallon of water when the pistils begin curling in and darkening. What do you guys do?

Glad you asked :smile: yes i give it to mine when the buds are still swelling and the pistels are beginning to darken red/orange and not quite to the point of curling. Although i do use it up until about 2wks till harvest. Because i feed mine bloom nutes till about the same 2wks till harvest. Then it's just plain water last 2wks and maybe depending on my view of them i will give them another drink of molasses water. I give at least 1.5 teaspoons per 1/2 gallon of water but that's just me. I believe i see increase in swelling in the last week before chop.

Me too when the girls are in flowering. I say about 2 tablespoons per 4 liters of water. I use the
unsulfured​ kind. Work for me.

My use of molasses is indirect when it comes to plants, I use it to feed microbes when making biological tea which I then use on my plants.

Same here, as soon as the orange curls show up i start UN-sulfered black strap molasses.

I use once or twice during flowering similar to how phlash said. I also it during the last 2 weeks, every other watering.

How much molasses do you use per gallon?

 

[Phlash]

For my use about 1/3 cup in 4 gallons for approximately 24hours or so

I use coco and amended soil.1 teaspoon per gallon. I water gently until i get run off and i stop. Usually every 3rd day during last cycle of flower. Two weeks. Then i stop all but water.
