Im currently growing three auto ak-47's. They're just over a week old, been told they usually show sex after about 14 days so want to be prepared to feed them as soon as they need it. Got my nutes question answered, but now need some molasses advice.

All the molasses products I see talked about on here are American. The only molasses product I can buy here in England is this -
- would this be suitable? And if it would, how should I use it and in what quantities? If it isnt, anyone have any other suggestions on alternatives?

What can you buy in england? You never told us.

But you want something like this:



unsulphured blackstrap molasses.

Use 1tbsp / gallon. I figured that worked out to roughly 1/4 tbsp / liter.

I'd use it every other watering, don't mix it in with nutes.

I used it with good results, I seemed to notice a the buds got a little fatter after I used it.

The benefit isn't in the sugars, it's in the micro nutrients the molasses has. Only use in soil, if your using hydro it will gunk up your shit.

u want two tablespoons per two liters of water. if you cant find molasses use maple syrup. what you want from the molasses is the simple natural sugars that you find in the syrup and molasses that stimulate root growth by stimulating the micro-organisms. usually people dont use molasses till they are flowering the plant as it helps the buds double and triple in size

You need to use the organic unsulphered stuff to make it worth your efforts. 1 tbls per litre once a week from veg till harvest. Mix well and bubble if possible.

Just found some unsulphered liquid molasses in my local Holland & Barret (health food shop), they dont list it on their website, but it too looks like the right stuff. Only £2.49 per bottle too.

Ok, heres a stupid question, but the Molasse, is it used as add on or as a substitute to nutes? Is it used in all faces of growth, or only when flowering? And I did read that some of you don´t mix, every other watering and so on.... :)

I use it the full flowering cycle. And the grandma's that was posted on the other page works great and it's inexpensive.

Someone told me that it should be used every other watering, instead of nutes.
