Old Reviews basic ?'s about molassas- why, when, how much

[GROWNBITCHZ]

Iv seen nothing but good results since Iv started using molasses on my girls they seem alot happier

hi Grownbitchz- could you tell me what regime you're using?... when you start/stop, frequency, concentration etc......... I'm trying to gather some kinda collective methodology from people who do use molasses, for everybody to scope out and try for themselves (hint-hint other readers) :group:

I use about 2 Tablespoons per gallon of PH'ed proper water.Along with 1-2ml of bud candy per gallon.thats how I sweeten my bud up and in the past it gotta say ,works fantastic.never had an issue with it...ever.and I think its a noticable diff. too.

Zup wira Iv only used it for one grow so far but muddy & others use it the hole time I think & could probably give you better info. I was only growing in half gallon pots due to small cab. I was also using canna nutes & epsom salts. I had no cal mag and the grow went well without. I started feeding them after sexn maybe once a week but only used about a quarter of a tea spoon to a leter of water. I had a male I abused for fun because I was finshed with and gave him a double dose half a teaspoon per ltr and it made the soil hold to much water & took too long to dry out so dont over do it.... He wasn't happy . Think JM has a thread somewhere il try find it for ya. :joint:

You know, I've had this silly thought: I wonder if anybody has tried pouring 7UP or something like that into the soil (daytime),.... you got your CO2, sugars, citric acid, citrus essences:smoke: Hmmmm,....
Nahh,.. better put ease up on that Pineapple Thai.............. Or is it silly??? :brow: All the goods are there.....

i have heard lucizade is great and the bubbles airrate the soil wich is good for the rooting system so not completely a silly idea to try 7up, or is it? haha

ive also pondered if using pineapple juice would be good for flushing with, especially with pineapple express and other tropical tasting plants

 

[StormsEniGma]

for my flushing of my stunted speed devil I am using 1 table spoon of molassis in a 1.5 litre bottle of spring water and she has seemed to love it, but the speed devil has seemed to love everything apart from contantly wet soil, ive even been foilar spraing with the molassis

you have already covered the bennifits with some scientific aspects, for me i decided to go with it because when you want to keep a bunch of flowers alive longer you put sugar in the water and that works, so flowers like sugar, buds are flowers, here buds have some sugar :beast:

Hey guys- thanks for rollin' with this thread Storm'- (lol!) If only adding juicy flavah's were so easy, there'd be crazy shit like root beer kush, cola-cola, thai daqueri, ginger fizzy nugs, mountain dew-bee, and so on.... Sadly, essences typically won't make through the soil, into the roots (across cell membranes, which have all kinds of bouncer-type proteins that backhand away most things that try to crash the party!), and up through the rest of the plant to the buds, and still stay intact. Maybe terpene type flavahs might get integrated, hmmm... but likely not. Those compounds are produced on site, right in the trich's, for good reason (too reactive with other things).... Plus, pineapple juice has all kinds of other compounds in it, like many other juices, that would cause a FUBAR situation in the soil, or the plant itself.... ever marinate meat in pineapple juice based goodness? Delicious, but look what it does to the meat! Sodas are simpler chemically though, so WTF, it might be worth a try on a "spare" plant! fuckin' magic can happen,... And thanks for the info too! How did that speed devil turn out? I'm very interested in the final word qualty on all these newer strains....

G-man- I think I did get that lengthy article from JM's thread on molasses, thanks just the same. I'll quiz sensei Muddy-san about too... as you both indicated, there's a min. and a max. amount to use that's beneficial, or not pointless, and that's what I'm looking to establish. My best guess so far is about 1 Tbs/ gal at feeding time.... let's see what Muddy-san says....

 

[Waira]

Thanks Ally'- experienced input is what i'm looking for... 2 Tbs./5gals you say... roger that! Oh yeah, are you growing in soil, or hydro'? My main worry is that everything luvs that sugah, including competitive or bad microbes :brow: Can you explain further what you mean by "mello the taste"?


Dude-man- Thanks for the recipie too! Bit by bit we're getting a general concensus about application rates here :booya: Does molasses really alter the waters' pH that much? and which way (acid<-->base) I'll check out Bud Candy at the store next time; I did see it, but didn't scope it out- I was on a soil mission,.... whooo-hooo getting close to seed order time, and firing up the ladies!!

i do know of a guy who once he pulls his plants sits the roots in a bucket of soda, he swears they absorb the flavor, though i am yet to taste to confirm lol

my speed devil is still in its final stage just waiting for it to amber up a little, she smells funky and is chunky for her stunted size, she is part of my first grow wich i stunted, poor pot selection that had poor dranage so bottom half of soul was contsintly wet, though small the devil was quite healthy for its grow, i do have a grow journal thread on it
