I have two plants about four weeks into 12/12. I want to start giving them some molasses. When do you start? I think I'll start flushing in 3-4 more weeks. How much per gallon? and Should I stop with other nutes when I start the molasses? Thanks for any help you can give. | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | It seems to me that putting molasses in your reservoir (which indicates hydroponics to me) is a sure-fire way to clog up your shit (nozzles, pumps, lines, etc). That is some gooey stuff. | ||
