Rep Power: 99 | | Molasses Tip
If you're feeding molasses to your plants, don't just pour it in your water. Warm a cup of water in the microwave first, pour your T of molasses, stir, and add that to your gallon!!
It beats shaking those damn jugs, but boy, you should see me throw a foot ball!!

Remember to always get COLD water then warm it up. Water out of the hot side of the tap has more buildup of minerals and thus can have higher ppms and effects on your plants

I use distilled water, so I just pour a cup out, stick it in the microwave for 30 seconds, add molasses, and voila!! Tastes pretty good over ice too, with a squeeze of lemon. Moral: never cook while stoned!!
Hey, I'm also finding that most distilled water I buy is ph around 6-6.5 at most, not a neutral 7 as it's supposed to be. My tap water is way high, but a couple drops of lemon juice drop it to 6-6.5. I only use it for my humidifier, and let it sit for a day or two to get rid of chlorine.

Rep Power: 312 | |  sorry! I did the hot cup of water thing, also, before the bubbles. I just thought I would throw that up here too. I think the bubbles give the water a little oxygen kick. My plants seem to love it. 
Peace. Quote:
