Does any body have a ratio to apply to molasses? How much and how often? I transplanted some plants out of pots and into the ground and would like to try this technique. Any body ever try it? - slo-han

High Slo!
Lots of info on youtube about using molasses, some good and some not so good. Most I've read say to use 1 tbsp. per gallon of water, every other feeding/watering. I use 3 tbpns. per 5 gallons of water, starting in bloom week 3, every other feeding.
I mix my nutrients, in that 5 gallons of bubbled, heated water that has sat for three days, get my readings, PPM and pH, then add the 3 tbsps. of Blackstrap unsulphured molasses.
Suppose to increase the sugar for better trichrome production. I think it helps some. Hope this helps, Good Luck. -
Hey back Blaze, hope your grow and U R ok and doing good. So...I poured about 3 table spoons(or more)o a gal container - oops~! Sure glad I have some more containers lol. I really don't know what an over dose of molas would do but I'm gonna find out. I'll cut it some and wing it and let U know - I don't think the mineral content will make the plant have candy canes but if it does I'll send you one - Slo-

Could I do this on an outdoor grow? Just wondering...And if knowbody knows yes or no...then would it be worth experimenting next season on a small batch away from my main patch?Comment

I don't see why not Valeer. But it does contain sugar and if not diluted enough it could draw bugs to your plants. An easy fix to that would be to use a gob of Vaseline and make a ring of it around the main stalk of the plants about 3 inches up from the soil and that will prevent any insects climbing up the plant. The Vaseline will stop them in their tracks.Comment

Good advice blaze - this is why I joined - all those little tricks that are overlooked until to late. I turned my solution into 3 jugs and added one yesterday to some plants. Time will tell on any problems. Will do the Vaseline thang today - I like it and can relate. I wasn't getting much for size so put some in the ground - might have waited to long for that but...................I did notice some pre flower activity on a few so.........sloComment

You just can't beat that direct sunlight with any other lighting and the good part is, "It's free"
for all to use.
Best of Luck with your girlz.
