New Grower Day 21 of first grow. Worth it to add silica or molasses?

[Automaticyumyum]

Silica, yes. Molasses, meh. Molasses is a large chemical compound to break down. There are much better ways to add sugars or weight to your buds.

What are some alternative methods for adding sugars or weight to buds that you would recommend?

Molasses is for feeding microbes in the soil. If you're growing organically the molasses will increase microbial activity in the soil which is beneficial to your plants.

Are you trying to stay all organic?

Jump to 8:00 in the video and he'll explain why you don't want to use molasses.

There are many other bottled organic methods on the market that work better than using off the shelf sugar not made for plants.

You do know sucrose is just table sugar right?

Yes, but molasses is a much larger compound to break down. There are other forms of sugar that are readily available.

Ok dude. I won't argue with you but I'll say sugar is sugar to microbes. They'll break it down. As far as carbs for your plants to readily absorb...I think most products are scams.

I've used molasses once a week for the past 3 weeks. My ladies are really into flower now. At what point should I stop giving them molasses. I also do coconut water once a week.
