Weed doesn't need sweetener in flower phase it needs sugars built up in veg
As far as your choice Molasses is absorbed by the plant better in tiny amounts

You can use it instead i dont think it be much better tho i preferred blackstrap over the two in my experience the molasses worked better honey can be good for say keeping a wound on a plant clean or other things but id keep it at that personally who knows u might have a different experience cos i only did try it the once to compare

Was wondering can I substitute black molasses’s with natural pure honey to feed my baby’s At flowering phase?
Coconut water unpasteurized, if you can find it at the grocery store. It will help a lot more than honey would I'm sure. Plus its choke full of micro nutrients and natural sugars to feed microbes.

Honey works. The bio-herd needs carbs to grow and even tho the roots give up sugar for them adding some boosts their growth rate so they can convert more organic stuff into food the plants can eat. Keeping the root zone warm helps with that too.

Molasses might work a little better but good unpasteurized honey has lots of micro-nutrients as trace elements in it too.

The bag of carbs I got from Greenleaf is just pure dextrose so nothing but sugar so I give the plants some molasses too. Organic un-sulphured blackstrap stuff.

:peace:

Now I would totally use natural organic bee honey if I saw that it contained cytokines as unpasteurized coconut water does. Coconut water is natural liquid starter for coconut trees. Full of every thing roots need. Being a coconut is also one Giant seed itself.

I might have to try that stuff with some babies and see how it goes. That's coconut water and not coconut milk is it?

Yes coconut water not milk. If ya can get a real coconut and crack that thing open I suppose that would be best. But I have had great results using store bought CW that is NON pasteurized.

Didn't see names/brands suggested on the coco water but the 'Harmless Harvest' brand is one I've seen others cite as a good choice. I even found it at a Costco once in a bulk box but needed to be kept refrigerated (at least for humans/not sure if it spoils when using for plants like we are).
