Supplemental Molasses in CoCo theories?

[Sockfilter]

I have read varying views on using a little Molasses in the flowering stages to help increase bulk.

I understand that it certainly could be beneficial with soil, due to the soils LIVING symbiotic microflora/organism community as the molasses has an apparent positive relationship within.

However:

In CoCo there really is no microflora community established as the CoCo does not hold onto nutes or other beneficial organisms. I could be out in left field on this thought process though.

Anyone have any experience with CoCo and added Molasses in flowering that could enlighten me as to why it DOES or DOES NOT work beyond my limited knowledge?

Morning Socks, some coco products have lots of good stuff in it that unsulfored molasses will help, like coco-loco, some don't have any, but unsulfured molasses ain't gonna hurt nothin, an helps alot especially in flower. It will also lower your ph a good bit.

And a wonderful morning to you DAAS, I buy 10lbs bricks at a time and re-hydrate as needed, super flush out the salts and get a proper pH prior to use. Yes a little more work on my end, however the price is right..lol.. Have been thinking of ditching the GH nutrients and going 100% organic using teas etc. However was worried about the coco not allowing the proper environment to exist.

Been adding in like .5ml of unsulfured blackstrap molasses for feeding 1x week in my coco, and no adverse effects, so why not right...:smile:

Hey Socks, good deal, it ain't gonna hurt a bit, the most I ever used was 2 tablespoons a gallon, in organic soil an It ain't never hurt nothin, but it damn sure helped, and you can tell in a day or two also.

DAAS, how are your Bubbelicious coming along ? I'm curious because I am growing Photo Bubbelicious from Nirvana right now. They are 5 weeks from seed. It would be interesting to see how they compare.

Morning Kingfish, I had her in a one gallon SmartPot so I wasn't expecting to much of a yield, but I still got a few grams over 2 ozs of dry ,an it's damn sure some good smoke for only being dried for almost 6 days, I just put her in jars last night.
I will tell you when you first start seeing amber, you better stay on top of it, cause she got at least 50percent amber in less than a week, after I first saw some amber.
My Afghan Kush auto is coming down today and I'm gonna get I know at least 5-6 jars from her, she was in a 3 gallon SmartPot, pot size makes a big difference.

Absolutely and thanks for the affirmation DAAS.. Sometimes I am 98% sure about something, just nice to have a few peeps reaffirming..
