CFLs and Molasses

looks good, im really surprised they are getting by with just molasses.
yeah, me too and the smell is heavenly. i've known the grower for a little while and he's bent on growing "super weed" from seed he finds in sacks of regular. Hope the molasses pay off. It looks just as healthy as a hydroponic grow.
 
day 21 of flower...questions, comments welcome

Hey thanks!!! This is the first plant ive ever gotten to flower. Im pretty stoked! Im hoping for an oz. But a half O will make me happy. Any free smoke is good smoke. Ive still got a couple weeks for them to fatten up a bit. Hoping the molasses will help that. Ya ive got about 8 or so colas like the one in the pic. Shes LST'd.

Not sure where the spamming is coming from, but not from my end. In order to counteract the acidity of the molasses, Jman305, I understand that his mixture does not consist purely of molasses. Rain water is boiled, one tsp of molasses and egg shells are added to mixture. The egg shells bring the ph down to between 6.3 and 6.4. Try it for yourself and see.
That's cool. I didn't think it was you, bud. I just hate when that crap gets in the forums. Eggshells are an excellent organic source of nutrients.
 
Looks real good, bud! Should be a decent sized harvest. I think you can get an O off her. Maybe even 1.5?
 
I will be growing coco next time with molasses every other watering. I think it might help with cal/mag issues that can crop up when using the LUCAS/KISS formula which will be the other watering. I too am using CFL's and think that good yields are possible with CFL's. Hoping my current CFL 12/12 from seed coco Moby Dick (Dinafem) grow proves that.

Yeah, be sure that the molasses is the unsulphured type. Otherwise you're looking at too much acid.

Not sure what the exact weight will be, I just hope he lets me get a nugget or two:weed: the pistils are very purple...maybe a gdp phenotype you think? covered in crystals and still 30 days from finish yum!!
 
Secret is out I guess!! LOL. You guys can look at some of the pics I have on here. I'll take a few more tonight to show you guys my current grow using something very similar!!! I will also post a pic of that as well!!! Molasses is great. But theres somethin that raises the bar a lil higher!! Pics will speak for themselves!!! Happy Holidays and Growing folks!!!
 
These as well!

Show Off your CFL+Molasses Grow...Veg Or Flower

u wanna make sure the molasses ur using in non-phosphorous...if not it will mess with ur ph levels (so ive heard)....i use it and have notcied a big difference. It feeds ur plants sugars and carbs which they need...u should only use in flowers stage...it def fattens up the buds making them more dense in weight...took these pics last week id say 4th week into flower...bag seed first grow
Your Molasses isn't something the plant actually uses, but it feed all the goodies in the soil that the plant CAN use.
