Slow as molasses in November

[Potted]

Hi all, does any one besides me use unsulphured mo. I am adding to my ph water when I don't feed! I've been doing this for some time seams to add a sweetness to the buds! I use thru out my grows veg and bud not to much about a half a tea per gal. Let me know your thoughts thanks Peace

I've never done this and reading on the subject you aren't making sweet bud but it's protecting the soil by feeding carbohydrates to the critters in the soil and not all molasses is the same?
I've never heard adding it to house plants only marijuana?

This is a good article I thought.

I use it in the final weeks of flowering. I use 1 tbsp. per gal.

Do you find it sweetens the buds?

 

[kingfish]

No, I can't say that it has. The primary purpose is to feed the microorganisms in the soil. Also to give my plants the extra potassium it needs to grow fat buds.
I use it for the reason some folks use Cal-mag.

No Title

I use it all season long. It feeds the bacteria in the soil. It has no direct uptake by plants. It gives many benefits by feeding the bacteria in the soil. healthy soil bacteria means healthy roots and healthy plants. It also contains some calcium and magnesium. Great stuff. I buy it by the five gallon from restaurant supply. There are some expensive cannabis foods on the market that mostly contain ingredients similar to molasses and water.

Why just the last few weeks then? Shouldn't you be using it the whole time?

 

[kingfish]

I have used it once during the entire grow and ended up with magnesium lockout and damn near killed my plants. I feel towards the end of the grow is when most of the potassium in the soil as been used. This is just my pretzel logic. No proof what so ever.

I use a deep water hydroponic grow and I used an un-sulphured molasses additive in the grow before last and had bad problems with a light brown slime or root rot. The last grow, I changed to using GH FloraNector and had better results and fewer problems.

Only use molasses in soil.
