it can be bought usually at any grocery store. make sure its either blackstrap or unsulphered. i mix it in with my normal nuts. make sure you warm it up in water. its also cheap like $5

Grandma Black strap mollasses $2.89 a jar. Mix 2 tablespoons per gallon of water as stated use a pitcher with warm not really too hot water so it thins and disolves. Water with it once a week max with soil grows and watch for mold on top if you mix in cocoair. Stop using 2 weeks before flush

if you have a bulk barn where you live then go there. You can buy the amount you want. As for me, I bought 15 cents worth. Which is how much i needed.

Pin the molasses wont give it a sweet taste the only taste it will give if unflushed is a bitter type unpleasent taste. What it does is give the plant extra carbs that it uses to process food and that intern promotes better growth and more resin production ie swells the trichs so more weight and more crystals but will not sweeten the smoke. You can use other refined products from dro stores that will add aroma and bit of taste like Sweet Berry or Sweet Citrus.. Then others are the same as molasses just cleaner like sweet leaf, carbo load, and gravity

Its fine in hydro just not in aero ponics. I used it for years in hydro tables but switched to Humboldt county Gravity and botinicare Sweet Berry scent as it does make less clean up after

I run Fox Farm nutes the 3 bottle required (grow big,Tiger Bloom, and Big Bloom) I also like to use FF TRIO Micro additives(Beastie Bloomz, Open Sesame, and Cha Ching). I follow fox farm chart except I push the max ppms as I have used them enough with my strains I know what my plants can handle. The Molasses and Sweet I introduce first week of or second of Flower. Remember i grow hydro and aero i dont do soil grows so will differ if your in soil.

so using sweet n molasses with the fox farm additives n nutes is all swell? cool.

i got the whole foxfarm set n soil.

im just gonna use the botanicare pro blend for veggin nutes cuz i dont have the grow big by foxfarm..the only one i am without.

just being curious, how fast do ur plants go from seed to smokeable bud with that aero setup??? seems like fancy stuff.
