I'm curious, how did you burn your plants with just molasses, especially if that is the largest amount you've ever worked with? could it have been something else?

I think that a good carbo-load is way better than molassases. Already available to the plant. Using Sweet and Carb-Load are the way to go. The Sweet is a carbohydrate syntesizer which works with the carb-load and is readily available to the plant. Plus easier to work with. Peace,

I have heard that molasseses feeds the micros in your soil & acts as a source of carbs for the plant.A long time ago I read some thing about watering with tea but that was for house plants.some times the organic growers call there watering mix tea.
and as far as coffee I think it would be to acidic

molasses should make your yield weigh a bit more, won't increase THC. in a way it is actually lowering potencey (bigger yield+same thc=less thc per gram) but i use it anyway. i like the results. i always imagined it like...the plant was fat...like i would be if i just ate molasses by the spoonful or something...

never heard of tea grounds. sounds like hippy business.

You can use molasses to add carbohydrates to your soil or rez to feed microorganisms. Molasses also contains sulphur, potash and a variety of micronutrients (trace elements) needed by plants. Technically, the N-P-K ratio of molasses is 1-0-5 One thing that molasses adds to the soil/rez is carbon, which is essential for growth. You HAVE to have carbon in order to have healthy microorganisms in your soil/rez, and carbon is the main energy source in soil.....but if you do not get a really good flush to much carbon in your buds will make your joints/blunts have a inch long ash on them because of the sugars.or your ash burn black.
I use carboload so i dont have to worry about that as much.
Just a few thoughts

Only use molasses in soil grows. Never in hydro systems as it will create lots of problems. Carbo Load by AN is best for hydro.

Humboldt Nutrients Humboldt Honey Hydro
this is what my friends use its ok he just has long ashs :P
And yes you are right strait molasses is not wise for hydro.But the humboldt honey
does have molasses in it.

i would see it more as...

bigger yield+more space for resin development=more product and more thc(resin)

i used molasses in my ebb and flow system last grow but i'll look into carbo load...i just really like molasses because it's a grocery store thing not a more expensive hydro store thing. is carbo-load something that can be given to plants in the GH 3-part schedule without causing lockouts?

i was under the impression that resin development is a genetic factor, leading me to believe the plant will only grow x amount of thc weather or not it weighs 20 or 25 grams dried....if it increases THC then sweeeeeeet!

EMj

Sorry if I misread! I thought you were in hydro that is why I suggested the Sweet and Carb-o-Load. If you are in soil then molassassassessassess (sp?) works great. I was not aware of such a high P number on the molassass....where did you hear that? Thanks for any info in advance!!
Peace,
EMj
