Hey, just a quick question about treacle, I'm about hlaf way through flowering got 4 weeks left, would adding diluted treacle help out, ive heard this is similar to molasses.
I think ive left it a bit late to order anything online to make it worth while, so was just looking for an easy little boost for my plants.

Anyone had any experience using this good/bad?

I've been using MG multipurpose feed so far.

Cheers :peace:

no i havent, i chose mollassess, as i said because its not exactly the same, a bit healthier in my humble opinion.
it was just my opinion, im a bit of a perfectionist and try to keep all potential probs to a min.. sorry for having an opinion on a forum. huh

is the lyles unsulphured? i've never actually been able to find a proper answer to that question...

and for that reason i use blackstrap mollasses by meridian from holland & barretts ... its like £1 or summit....
