why not grow the plants hydroponically? then you can produce hundreds of high quality seeds....
it's more about the food in flower...... seriously, ask fdd, his turned out excellent. all dark and big and pretty....

ill ask... i do dwc 90% of the time, but i figured with the short life of LR2 id go with soil. if i recall correctly, its the growing medium they recommend. in fact they said that in terms of nutrition an organic soil mix with some bat guano is all you would need for the whole life cycle! no need to add any more nutrients beyond initial soil! that's pretty impressive... i might try an organic grow.

molasses in dirt is great; in hydro is has a tendency to muck everything up and coat the res and buckets with a sticky residue....
but great stuff!

ill definitely use it.. would be good to document those results as well... ill do it on 1/4 - 1/3 of my grow. when i used it in dwc, i didnt have the problems you mentioned, but i mixed it with hot water first to get a completely dissolved liquid

maybe it was tsp... even in which case i used 2x as much. maybe mine was lower grade quality? or perhaps the other nutes i used in conjunction kept it from getting sticky? do you have a bubbler? im curious to find out the difference here... because if 1 tbsp coated yours and potentially 4x as much didnt harm mine, i might be on to something!
p.s. ill consult my grow logs to find out if it was tsp or tbsp

how do you heap molasses?
i too used a dwc, isolated bubble unit. the stuff has lots of sugar in it. that's what caused the stickiness....

well molasses is basically extracted (condensed) cane sugar... heaping is when you scoop up a bunch, and still has run-off
taken from wikipedia:
The third boiling of the sugar syrup gives blackstrap molasses. The majority of sucrose from the original juice has been crystallized but blackstrap molasses is still mostly sugar by calories[1]; however, unlike refined sugars, it contains significant amounts of vitamins and minerals. Blackstrap molasses is a source of calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron. One tablespoon provides up to 20 percent of the daily value of each of those nutrients.[2][3] Blackstrap is often sold as a health supplement, as well as being used in the manufacture of cattle feed, and for other industrial uses.
still though, didnt realize there are other types of molasses (non cane) like sugar beet..
