I added CAL-MAG PLUS to my "special brew" of shit that I put into my RO water. I want to make sure my ladies are happy and getting everything they need. On top of that I'm using molasses, Pro Bloom, and Black Magic. I'm at full recommended doses on all products and a tsp of molasses per gallon. I "super cropped" 3 branches on one of my WW's. I've been doing it to some select branches along the way and they seem to take it with no problems. I' ve got picks. And by super cropping I mean bending the branch back and forth till it lays over at a 90 degree angle exposing all the bud sites to the light. The lil Exile is filling out nicely and is already swimming with trichs. What I find odd is that the Blueberry Gum is suposed to be the earliest finisher yet its the slowest as far as resin or trich formation goes. It's starting to come on stronger now though.

hell yeah mass, looking great, i like the bud on a stick pic, LoL. one thing though, from what ive read, the molasses is used instead of the cal-mag plus, just be careful not to lock out other nutes by using to much.

What is the chemical make-up of molasses? Does it have Ca, Mg, and Fe in it? I went to my local hydro store today to buy Botanicare's Sweet but when I told him I was currently using Black Magic (which was $117 for a liter) he said to keep my money bc I didn't need Sweet bc the Black Magic, on top of being a Pk booster 0-20-21, also had the same L-amino acids and other shit that Sweet and other like products had in them as well. He said I could continue to use the molasses though for an extra rush of sugars as long as I didn't overdo it. I went online looking for info on the manufacture of this product and found a phone number. I called it and got the owner. The name of the company is Microbrewed Fertilizers and Black Magic is their flagship product. Bing it and u will find it. Anyway, They are a local and very young company. Their products are made in Fla. A year ago I went to the store to ask about Bloombastic (man is that shit expensive!) and the guy turned me on to BM. He said it was made to do the same thing only better. It's clear liquid and easily water-soluable. My 3rd grow I did a side by side run. Plants with BM and plants without. There was a nice noticable difference in size and denity. Also more aromatic. I'm very pleased with the product. Don't forget my question about the make-up of molasses though,lol. I got long-winded. I talked to that guy for a while though. He was full of useful information. He def knew his shit.

heres the make up of blackstrap, i use 1tspn to a 1/2 gallon of water for my once a week weds watering for the 2 girls i have. i use grandma's btw.

heres something from my notes also.

I will also use Grandma's Molasses, 1 tablespoon per gallon during both vegging and flowering and even during flushing. GrandMa's Unsulfured Molasses. Yellow label on bottle. The CalMag and Iron in GrandMa's is higher in percentage than what Pure Blend Pro CalMag is too. You can use it during the entire veg and bloom. If used in veg, just give once weekly at 1 tbls per gallon. Same amount throughout bloom, including during the flush phase. Makes your buds very sweet and good after a proper dry and cure. Treat it like any other CalMag product basically.

well that got all messed up, it was a nice chart the first time, LoL.

CD u always have such good info. Thank you man! so I really should take the cal mag back outta the equation then if the molasses has the same shit in it, right? I use Grandma's too, yellow label.

Today is the first time I added the calmag. I watered 5 hours b4 lights out and they looked fine when they went to sleep.
 
id say you will be ok for about the first week but after that you will more than likely see a few issues with your sun leaves followed by the fan leaves. well this is what i experienced at least when i first added molasses to my mix (which had decent amount of Cal Mag in it)

just for topic sake ...

So does that mean I should remove the calmag from my mix?

Ur welcome, lol. The molasses cost me what, like two or 3 bucks or something. It's like, so what do I do with the bottle now? Just let it sit on the shelf till I throw it away cause its been there for a couple years w/o being used, cause I expect that's what will probably happen to it now, lol. I could've of bought a fatter sack with that $20!
 
+rep+rep+rep ... it says i have to spread it around but if you aren't saying exactly what its been like learning this stuff i don't know who is. Either way tho, there is no better hobby! I have bought timers that control one thing when i could have spent 25 extra bucks and had a combo controller to do like 4 things... just the standard retarded stuff.

but oh well... if you really want to learn some great no nonsense growing check out this thread
