I MUST STRESS, DO THIS ONLY IF YOU ARE GROWING IN SOIL. APPARENTLY MOLASSES MESSES UP PLANTS IN HYDRO SET UPS..


you have to use unsulfrated molasses. i believe the quantity is 1 tsp/gallon of water. do that every watering for the last 3-4 weeks or so of flowering. better to do it late than never. if i remember right, i read that adding sugar (molasses) during flowering increases the bud size and weight approximately 33%

awesome, so molasses isnt something i need to "flush" out for the last two weeks ? 1% bud growth is enough incentive or me (:

no need to "flush" molasses. just have to flush the nutes for the last 2-3 weeks.
you can feed it molasses until a few days b4 you harvest. i say that because you want the soil to totally dry out before you harvest to help reduce some curing time..

I think it's a tablespoon per gallon, or more (up to 2-3) depending on planter size?

I use 1-2TB per gallon from week 5 on out. You can add any needed nutes to the molasses.

someone told me you can flush with it the only thign it will do is mask the taste and scent of the bud but molasses mask doesnt sound to horrible to me, since i started using it a week n a half before harvest it looks like im flushing with it
