so, flowering nicely, ill put some pics on soon, im only using regular tomato feed as funds are strapped so any ideas for feed that wont cost me a fortune will be greatly appreciated pics to follow soon :hug:

Tomato food will grow some fine cannabis. Orchid nutes are also very similar to canna nutes so that's a very affordable option. Here in the states you can find Better Gro orchid food at Home Depot/Lowe's or similar big box stores. For less than $15 you can get enough veg and bloom nutes to last you for many grows. If those aren't available where you are, try to find any orchid food that does not contain urea nitrogen.

Just add the molasses to your water and mix it up. Works best if you have a milk jug or something you can shake up. Around 1 tablespoon per gallon is a good dose to start with, though some people go higher.

Molasses feeds the microherd in your soil (helpful if you grow organic), conditions the soil to improve nutrient uptake & prevent salt build up (helpful if you use synthetic nutes), provides calcium and a variety of carbs and micronutrients, etc. Good stuff.
