How much molasses do you add to a gallon of water when watering?

I put about a tablespoon unsulphered molasses in a coffee cup then heat the cup up for a few minutes in the microwave. Then I mix and add the contents to one gallon of water. I only do it once every week or two though. However, I know many people do it every time. And I'll do it more often at flush time.

That is how much I was thinking of adding. I was thinking about adding it every other watering.

1-2 TBSP/gal seems to be 'common'

To be honest, I just do it by eye. :P The bottom of a coffee cup is about 1-2 tbsp.

It mixes better when warm, that is all.

There are many, many past threads on Molasses, so a search would be helpful as I think you might learn tons about it.
Here is just one of them: molasses
It's great stuff, and your plants will thank you for it..

Rep Power: 0 | | Iv'e been using it for three weeks now at 1 tbsp per gallon and they seem to like it. I just mix it in the gallon jug with my Nutes and let it sit overnight then shake it up and feed away. I am thinking about trying it warmed up a bit though and let it sit and see how that works. Nice thread Thanks, Med | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
