Start of 7th week

godspeedsuckah

Hey Everyone. Today is the start of 7 weeks in flowering. I am using MG soil, it is my first time growing and have had nute problems from the get-go. I will put some pics up tonight. I am going to stop nutes now and use molasses to finish her up. Has anyone using molasses seen a benefit from its use? I have read so many posts all over the net, some say yes it is wonderful, others say no difference at all. What are your experiences with molasses?
Thanks-Godspeed...

Mollasses is very good.. MG is bad as it has nutes in it.

yes agreed ditch the mg and check out our soil section both shaman and jollygreengiant have a great soil mix i just saw around there and it is beneficial to use molasses it will add weight and help with the resin production .

Hey godspeedsuckah, everyone above me, has given you great advice.
The reason you've been having nutrient problems, is because you can't control those timed release nutes it has in it. These are bad for growing marijuana.
It is best to have complete control over your grow.

Time released = BAD

So far as molasses is concerned, I'm a firm believe in it. It adds weight for sure, and while you are flushing the plant in it's last week, molasses provide minute amounts of good nutes for the plant too.
It'll also make for a much smoother smoke too.

Good luck with your first grow, when you finish, and your ready to start anew...perhaps we can all help you get a better start.
I can guarantee, your next grow will be much better!

I can't remember the exact scientific explaination but the molasses gives the plant a boost of energy that it needs at this stage.

From what I have heard it isn't good in hydro just makes a mess.

Molasses work from what I have seen and experienced. I have also be experimenting with maple syrup, I have noticed a darkening of the bud and it got a little sweeter, But I am still experimenting so don't quote me on it..

I started the molasses tonight. I am using 2 tablespoons per gallon, so hopefully she will really enjoy it. I am amazed at the life process with marijuana. I vegged her for 2.5 months, and have been flowering for 7 weeks now. Including the pot, she is almost six feet tall; needless to say, I had to tie her down a little bit since I was starting to run out of room. A few of the leaves now are yellowing in uniform and getting ready to drop them.
