it increases yield up to 15% plants use sugar to grow

id say at least....i started half way through veg and noticed considerable difference...

 

[Bwpz]

So half way through veg is good to start it? Makes sense...

 

[mrbonk10]

can u use any type of molasses???? or does it need to be a special type????

 

[Prefontaine]

plants dont absorb sugar through their roots, they release sugar from their roots to support the symbiotic relationship plants have with certain bacteria and fungi, by adding molasses you increase the populations of these benies in the soil and therby increase the yield size.

i use brer rabbit unsuphured full flavor all natural with a tiny bit of Great White beneficials

 

[gobskiii]

it is also a good cal/mag and iron supplement for half the cost of botanicare's cal/mag plus.




i to use brer rabbit.

Click the link above for a little insight into carbs aka sugar supplements.

Prefontaine is right about the symbiosis.

Can you use Molasses in conjunction with liquid ferts or do you feed Molasses
by itself only?

 

[gobskiii]

as with anything...you can add it to your gallon water and nutrients without any problems...atleast fox farms line-up and it works for me.

I use with my fert mix, i dont use much and i dont use it very often, it takes bacteria a while to break down sugar so just use a little

fox farm hydro three pack, plus miracle grow, cause the hydro three pack doesnt have urea which is good for soil, brer rabbit, great white, and general hydro ph down,

Not only this but the extra calmag from large quantities of mollasses can stop the uptake of N.
