Organic crystal and thc boosters

so I heard adding organic molasses to your water during flowering once weekly will make the buds swell and taste sweet but what organic additives can I add to make the buds have more crystals and be more potent.

any other tips on organic food and nutrient additives can be posted too

I used to use a small amount of molasses in late flower. But to be honest not sure if it made much difference at all. So I stopped using it didn't need anything more then what is in Super Soil. Also molasses has a few draw backs, it can cause a bad smell and it attracts bugs that's the main reason I stopped using it. Just add water and all is good. If you use the correct % of SS your plants will have everything they need. Go SS man you wont regret it.

And as for additives to make the plants more potent nope its genetic my friend.

One sure way of getting more potent plants. GET SOME TGA BEANS!
:-P

It can burn the plant up Its very hot soil lots of nutes.
I recently had this issue with Bubblegummer burnt the crap out of it at 20%ish.
Re-potted with less (now at about 10-15%) and it happy as can be now.
Stuff is amazing but air on the side of caution and top dress with it later if need be.
Cause its no fun having to re-pot a flowering plant.

After roots have formed plants don't uptake sugars, when you hear that they are lying to you and trying to get you to buy more shit. Watch out, they want in your pockets...

Plants make their own sugars.....adding suger is for the microbes and it can fuck up ur plants if you add too much................Just add sugar to ur compost teas

right* sugar isnt for the plant, for the microbes in the tea or nutes ur using. Its basically like steriods for them, it makes em work harder. If ur using an organic tea or foliar spray or organic nutes you'll see a bigger payoff with the molasses than without or with synthetics. I can def tell the difference in the density of my buds. I grow all organic & my buds grown under cfls rival those of a friend of mine grown under hps! Almost everything i put on my plants is my own mixture, i rep for the molasses. It will draw pests which is why i only use it the last 2 or 3 weeks, but i normally dont have a pest "problem" It may be bc i only pour the sweet water right around the stem, then i add reg water or spray to moist the rest of the soil. You can also premix it & pour it into an aqua globe (or few depending on the size of the plant) You shouldnt have many problems with the sweet water being "contained". This is just a theory i have a bbbc on the 5th wk of flower now & i have a million aqua globes around in my house plants, i will comandeer one & let u know how it goes as far as pests. I rep for density tho.

right, sugars are to feed the beasties in your soil, which energizes them to continue their work metabolizing un-available nutes, making them available for the plant to grow plump nugs....sugar will sweeten the flavor and smell of the finished bud.....take care not to use too much, like many things, moderation is uber important.....much love, nugs

Using molasses or sulfur to affect flavor is a hotly debated topic. I still don't know.

I use a UV-B bulb (a quality one, not a blacklight) and believe it positively affects potency. Genetics is still the biggest potency driver, however. IMHO
