Yeah man, If your molasses is like dark syrup kinda, jus mix 4 table spoons per gallon of Water. Mix that shit up and it will work.

you can't know that from what he's given. Some brands have additives that can hurt your plants, which is probably why videoman asked the brand.

gotta get da grandma's

You just want any brand of blackstrap molasses, which is fairly common.
Peace

so is this useful during veg too or mostly just during flowering, ive done it for both.

it's Crosby's family brand cooking molasses..

You should just use it during flowering.. becuase the whole reason for the molasses is so the sugar will make the buds bigger and sweeter..
by the way.. i have golden farms natural molasses..that works well

90% of dried plant material is carbon the source of which is CO2 and any plant food additives you add, Molasses is sugar which is a source of carbon

so just mix 4 table spoons with a gallon of water n ur good to go?

In our own experience with Garden Safe Liquid fertilizers, we’ve used a pretty close equivalent to the outdoor rate on indoor herbs with some good success. Our best application rate for Garden Safe 3-1-5 ended up being around 1 Tablespoon per gallon ( 1 Tablespoon = 3 teaspoons). Used alone it’s really not a favorite for continuos use, since we don’t see Garden Safe 3-1-5 as a balanced fertilizer. It doesn’t have enough phosphorous to sustain good root growth and flower formation in the long term. It’s best use would probably be in an outdoor soil grow where there are potential pest issues. Animal by-products like blood meal and bone meal are notorious for attracting varmints, so Garden Safe sugar beet molasses fertilizers could provide an excellent “plant based” source of Nitrogen and Potassium for a soil that’s already been heavily amended with a good slow release source of phosphorous, our choice would be soft rock phosphate.
Blackstrap molasses could also be used in a similar fashion, as a stand alone liquid fertilizer for the biological farmer who needs to avoid potential varmint problems caused by animal based products. But, we really believe there is a better overall use for molasses in the organic farmer’s arsenal of fertilizers. Our suggestion for the best available use, would be to make use of the various molasses products as a part making organic teas for watering and foliar feeding.
