The rate is one tablespoon dissolved in a gallon of water. I add it to a cup first of water, stirr it till it dissolves then add to the gallon. Some people disolve it in hot water first. I don't find it nesacary.

Here is a link that should answer all your questions.

i use 1-2 tbsp per gallon. sometimes i just add it right in, other times i boil like a quart or two of filtered water and put it in there first, then add more cold water to top off the gallon. i heard its better if you mix it in the hot water, but i mix it in cold anyways (lazy stoner). just remember never to get hot water from the tap to mix, instead get cold filtered water then boil it and add.

DieAbetic, thats some excellent advise you gave. As I read your post, I'm thinking I should do a follow up post explaining to never take water from the hot side of the tap, but you covered it just fine.
Quiit looking out buddy!
Peace

it is easier to dissolve the molasses in hot water as then the water can dissolve more of the sugars and some of the longer polymer lines are already cracked down by the heat (needs energy to crack the links) or otherwise you give the input mechanically by stirring as mad to get it fully dissolved

you could use it with every feeding but it can plug up the soil a bit and slow root grow in the extreme which then would lower your yield, so to be on the safe side you feed em molasses as you feed fertilizer: every third feeding. if you feel confident that your grow can take more then that you surely use more then that.

I dissolve 2 tablespoons of blackstrap in 4 liters of filtered water, and use 100 ml of that mixture in 4 litres of water with every watering during bloom. Since I started doing this my yields increased 1/3 to 1/2in weight.

guess this once more one point for "less is sometimes more". feeding molasses increased my yield and made my bigbud grow super iced but it didn't made my yield jump that much despite my heavy feeding schedule.

besides, is that a general observation of you jimmy or more strain specific?

Just to be contenious, Jonnyappleweed uses corn syrup. Same thing, when in bloom. And the same ratio. He says it works the same as molasses, suppliing sugars to the flowers, and is cheaper. I am trying this on 2 of my girls in flower. 3 with molasses, and 2 with corn syrup. I will let you know.
