i agree with Newgrowth...
wow! umm beneficial microbial growth is what you want to promote. bad microbes (ones that cause rot and disease) love molasses as it is a simplified form of sugar. a plant exumes more then 1100 different types of complex sugars to satisfy the palate of the most complex beneficial microbe. there is a constant battle between the two organsms,molasses being comparible to a happy meal feeds the army of the enemy while a healthy plant's "waste" will feed the elite. the sole purpose of the relationship of beneficial microbial growth and plant is the organsms act as a catalyst, breaking down compounds so they are readily availible for the plant to consume. like recycling.Are you saying if you use organic fertilizers then you shouldn't use molasses? Or if you have soil or water or air 'cause those are full of chemicals too. And the molasses, that's made of chemicals too.
Pretty much EVERYTHING is a chemical. If something is matter it's a chemical.
This whole confusion about chemicals being bad things comes from some marketing types who got together and said, "Let's say our competitors product is full of chemicals, that will sound nasty and people will buy our product instead."
chemical element
One of the more than 110 presently known kinds of substances that constitute all matter at and above the level of atoms (the smallest units of any element). All atoms of an element are identical in nuclear charge (number of protons) and number of electrons (see atomic number), but their mass (atomic weight) may differ if they have different numbers of neutrons (see isotope). Each permanently named element has a one- or two-letter chemical symbol. Elements combine to form a wide variety of compounds. All elements with atomic numbers greater than 83 (bismuth), and some isotopes of lighter elements, are unstable and radioactive (see radioactivity). The transuranium elements, with atomic numbers greater than 92 (see uranium), artificially created by bombardment of other elements with neutrons or other particles, were discovered beginning in 1940. The most common elements (by weight) in Earth's crust are oxygen, 49%; silicon, 26%; aluminum, 8%; and iron, 5%. Of the known elements, 11 (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, and the six noble gases) are gases under ordinary conditions, two (bromine and mercury) are liquids (two more, cesium and gallium, melt at about or just above room temperature), and the rest are solids.

i think you have a week or two more. peace and happy growing.You guys think its ready?Can u zoom in enough?DSC01347.jpg (60.1 KB)
