Couple questions.

-What are the benefits of molassas ? What does it do?
-What does it give your plant nutrient wise?
-What concentration water/molassas should be given to the plant?
-How often should it be given to the plant?

lol I am new at this but

-Molasses give your plants carbs...beneficial for bud growth
-some micro nutrients I believe but basically the sugar is what helps...
-2 tablespoons for every gallon
-depends I use every watering and haven't had a problem.

Molasses is good for the plant basically and is beneficial for the plant in flower...some even say in veg too.

- it makes your buds bigger
- carbohydrates
- about 2 tbs/gal
- you can use it every watering if you'd like

molassas will give your plant some sugars and carbs. and making the buds bigger than if you diddnt feed it to them. im not too familiar what nutrients you get out of it,but i did 3 grows with and 3 without and i will use it every time now.the buds seem to grow bigger then explode almost twice as big a few weeks into flower. i use 2 tbs. per gallon of water only every other watering or every third watering. if you use too much molasses it will attract bugs so moderation is key.hopefully this helps

forgot to ask, should it only be used in flowering stage? or in veg aswell?

When would u start using it? if in veg right at the start? or if in flowering right at the start of flowering?

anytime you can use it. I personally started in flower but I will use it in veg for my clones. I will use it beginning to end. you can use it while you are flushing as well...so right for the first water to the last.

I used 2 tbsp per gallon starting in the beginning of flower and continued for 5 weeks then stopped and my buds were DANK. Will attract critters so be on the lookout and keep her clean..........

This is the result only 32 days (4.5 weeks) into the flower. SUGAR

-What are the benefits of molassas ? What does it do?

Molasses is a carbohydrate that is food to many beneficial soil organisms. These organisms can aid in the breaking down of nutrients in the soil so plants can more easily absorb them. They can also help aerate the soil, which is especially important for those people who have a lot of clay or compacted soil.


-What does it give your plant nutrient wise?

Molasses also contains several trace elements that cannot be found in many synthetic fertilizers, such as Carbon, Potash and Sulfur. These all contribute to the plants health and are the reason that molasses is added to many of the organic fertilizers out there.


-What concentration water/molassas should be given to the plant?

about 2 table spoons per gallon is fine .


-How often should it be given to the plant?

i give the spot i am preparing some a week or two before i plant.
then a couple of times during veg and then another lot mid way through flowering.
i have used it every second watering but i think i was just wasting it.

as to the fact it makes the buds bigger well it is unproven but i think it helps because of its benefits to the microbes and they make the nutrients readily available to the plants....

Well articulated, indeed.

You are suppposed to use unsulphured mollasses....and potassium is not a trace element.

mate we cant buy unsulfered molasses here in aus and in my opinion it is just an old wives tale any way.
and i have been using it sulphured in my gardens for years and man i have a nice healthy veggie garden and it dont seem to hurt my girls either

and i was only using trace elements as a broad description you notice i did not mention zinc ,calcium ,vitamin a ,magnesium and i could go on..

so there is no real need to be so damn pedantic about the subject...
