Does this product add anything to flavor? Or is it just a carb load for plants?

It "may" enhance the natural flavor present in the bud via the carb load provided by the natural sugar cane liquid (which is all it is)...but the "berry" and the "citrus" crapola doesn't add flavor to the bud whatsoever. Can you say gimmick?
soon they'll make em bright purple and bright orange....to 'color' the bud.
and the noobs will drink it up....

if you grow with soil get some damn old fashion molasses, will do the same trick for a buck

If you want to enhance the flavor go to a specialty market and pick up pomegranate molasses, that WILL enhance the flavor but is best used in conjunction with blackstrap molasses.

i rather like to eat those then mash them to molasses
besides, there are flavors of these for cocktail making, so you may should look up your local bartender supply or better liquor store

Interesting takes. Actually I have the BlackStrap and a sample bottle of the Sweet I got with an order.
I was hoping someone who used it throughout a grow could tell me what was what. I've used some of the Sweet since it was free.

I used the mollases on my firsy crop and I will be using iot on this one. I did some reading and found great things about mollasses. I use 3tbs per gallon once a week. The room smeeled so sweet when I used it and the buds came out real smoothe and fruity tasting. I highly recomend it. I also used c02 though so maybe that helped...............

I'm going out to find some blackstrap molasses. I might even go to find some organic.
How do you mix it with the water? I thought I read some people mention boiling a little water, mixing the molasses, then adding that to cool water to make a gallon. Is that necessary?

pj, do you start at the beginning of flowering use til harvest? And, do you water more than once a week but only use the molasses once weekly?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I have a bottle Blackstrap sitting on my shelf. I didnt want to experiment just yet and do a side by side.
If I get a female and some clones....I'd do it then. And the results would be more reliable. But Im going with the Sweet. Bought a qt just to see how it goes. Every water/feed.

There is a difference in molasses.
I went to the store and only found an unsulphured molasses and it does not say "blackstrap". A lot of the comments about molasses from fans include that theirs is blackstrap. What I bought does not appear to be. Here is what I bought:
Welcome to B&G Foods, Inc.
It says:
Here is a link on blackstrap nutritional values
WHFoods: Blackstrap molasses
It appears blackstrap is loaded with nutrients. BUT, there is a lot less sugar in it. So I wonder which component of molasses is most important, the sugars or the extra nutrition that blackstrap provides? I cannot find a nutritional breakdown of regular molasses but blackstrap's is impressive. It looks to me like blackstrap is actually a way to nute without giving nutes by providing the trace elements and letting your plant use up its Nitrogen and Phosphorus.
Anyone on here used regular molasses and how did it work out?
