DK'S New Grow 2020

Can you use molasses for coco plants?

I just saw a video of someone feeding molasses on YouTube...

I am under the impression that it's for soil only.

Help me out here..
 
Plants don't eat what's in molasses (there are just a few trace minerals that nute-fed plants don't usually lack). Molasses is used to feed the microbes in a living organic soil (LOS) grow. Definitely of no use in coco, or any other medium being fed synthetic nutes.
 
Shed hit the nail on the head, I used molasses on some Starkiller a couple of years ago and it did nothing but draw gnats. I haven’t used it since.
 
Good morning all!

I used molasses in the soil for the cheese auto in my last grow. It seemed to have worked then but then that was soil. I'm just not so. Keen on soil haha.

Botanium is now really packing more pistils so I hope these last 2 weeks will be fattening time.

Funny growth...



Then the critical is being very shy now...

Taking very long to grow. I can see some light green centre's so that's good news but I wonder why...

So sexy though...

The seedling are looking good but only the slightest change so next time....

We had rain here and it's really dropped the temperature. We heading straight for winter now. Mt tent is at 18.7°c so Temps have really dropped. Let's hope I can control this in winter cause heating options will be a problem again...

I can always knit some jerseys for the pots :rofl:

Anyways hope Everyone has a great day
 
LOL!

New growth is often lighter as the plant hasn't had time to get all the nutrients there when it's growing quickly.

Does your house get down that low temp wise, and what's the high in the tent?

It's in my garage that's got a broken door
 
Lol judging by that reaction I take it you are shocked
 
Yes. Yes I am. What are your overnight lows in the winter where you live? Because I'm guessing that's going to be the low in the tent.
 
Winter is a bit early this year so we might hit maybe - 3 - 4 at most but last year it was - 2 and I kept my box at a very uncomfortable 12-17°c... Had incandescent lights for heat back then...

Do you get lower temps in winter or does it stay relatively warm.

Well penny to be honest Last year was warm at - 2 but it has been colder hear and we get frost. This year might be a cold one but that's just a speculation... I can be wrong and we stay at 1 or so
 
The reality of the situation is that below 17ºC your plants will have a great deal of difficulty thriving and taking up nutrients.

The effect of cold on cannabis plants

In this post we show you which methods you can use to avoid the cold in an indoor cannabis crop. There are various modes to keep a stable temperature during the winter so you can choose the resolution that best suits to your indoor or greenhouse crop for personal use.

You are going to need a heater in there without a doubt.

Oh no... Not this again... That's a huge consumption of electricity and I'm already chowing so much.... :lot-o-toke:
 
You will probably have to move the tent in the house. Otherwise you're basically growing outside in winter!

Yeah I can't see that happening as it's not actually my house I'm living at. Shit... Just when I thought things were OK again
 
Running your lights and keeping the tent well sealed should add some heat, but those temps might be hard to overcome with LEDs, even blurple ones. Make sure your lights are off during the warmest times of the day so you can have them on all night. A cheap HID fixture might be more advantageous to you for the winter months. They can warm a tent like a heater!
 
Shit here comes the creativity again...

The lights are somewhat producing a small bit of heat. It's definitely warmer in here than outside for sure. I also removed that big ass fan and installed the smaller ones a while back... Humidity is now a bit of an issue but I over fed the one pot so there is a bit of water left over.
