That's what scares the regulators.   | ||

| I gave mine molasses during the whole second half of flowering, 5 or 6 weeks, with nutes, and without at the end. Just be carefule, because molasses is a mild nute itself, you don't want to overdo it. Teaspoon a gallon to start.

| I've read that molasess when combined with animal manures can increase that speed at which salmonella and other bad bacteria grows.  So be carefull, make sure any manure is well composted. peace, | ||

| make sure you get BLACKSTRAP molases as it is the end result of the refining process and therefore contains concentrated amounts of vitamins, minerals and trace elements naturally found in the sugar cane plant and is also a good source of iron, vitamin B6, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Because it is an end-product all the ingredients, residues, and toxins in the plant can be concentrated in the molasses. For this reason it is important to purchase organic molasses.  As far as application amounts: teaspoon/gal every 10-14 days. Make sure you stir it up real well. Did you know: Molasses is an excellent chelating agent. An object with iron rust placed for two weeks in a mixture of one part molasses to nine parts water will lose its rust due to the chelating action of the molasses. | ||
