Molasses?

Ey, i was wondering what molasses really are, do they speed up the growing process of the buds? Also what are good ones to buy, i'm going to assume i can just buy them at the food place. XD Got any tips of good types i can buy and the usage of them? Im in canada right now and im not sure about all products. Thanks

Use the search feature. Hundreds of thread on the uses and affect of molasses on the buds.

Molasses is thick syrup by product from the processing of the sugarcane or sugar beet into sugar.

Molasses can be used throughout the whole flowering stage. Some grower prefer to only use molasses during the last 3 weeks.

The ratio per gallon is 1-2 tablespoons, but can be changed due to certain conditions.

Molasses can be used for soil and hydro.

In an experiment Jorge Cervantes had done "the buds swell about 20% when sugar is added to irrigation water during the last four weeks of flowering".

Over-applying molasses will not make buds swell any more, and if over-applied could bring insects to your garden.

A 32 oz bottle of Molasses is about $7.

Thanks for the info cheebamonkey. My time is running out because of this gay frost hitting aproximatly this month...my buds are far from done so i hope molasses will help hurry the process.

molasses wont speed up the growing of the buds...

but it will get the microbes working so your plant can make full use of the nutrients in the soil as well as add some trace elements....

if you just do 1 TBL spoon per gallon can that cause any problems? and how often are you supposed use molasses?

no it will not cause a problem,as often as you want but you really need to only use it in the last few weeks of flowering...

do a search for molasses there is a hundred threads here on the subject...

Is there anything i can do to make the buds grow faster? I'm really paranoid about the frost since you cant really tell when it comes so i can put something over my plants.

bring the plants inside and flower them inside!! or stick them in a shed for 12 hours of dark

i hide mine in a dark shed from 7pm till 7am,had another light frost this morning,second one so far.
