Hey everyone I have a question. With this molasses do I get the food grade stuff of is there a special gardening molasses?? And when would I start adding it to my girl. I don't really even feed right now. Just plain water.

People usually start with a little molasses during flowering, and then increase a little bit towards the end and before the final week flush. It's the regular edible molasses, just make sure it's unsulphured (i.e unprocessed). Organic sugar extracts. For some reason a lot of people go with the brand Grandma's. I didn't put a lot of thought into it and just picked up a jar of Grandma's

yes I would get the food grade molasses, mostly that if I can eat it then it sure aint going to hurt me later when i consume my bud.
also I use it in veg and flower as it helps build good bacteria in your soil.
I use briar rabbit brand and have used grandmas. now I have to look because I dont remember who said but grandmas has 1% sodium in it and frankly I never read either bottle other then making sure that it said it was unsulphered. so I will get back to you folks on the salt thing.
and thank you spring for the reps

Cool ill have to pick up a bottle today. I can give her the molasses even though I haven't introduced ferts yet? And I'm starting flowering in 2 days with my triple diesel. She has at least 10 bud sites on her. I'm so excited to see the next part of the process. It's one thing to see a bunch of pics on here and another to get to see/touch/smell for your self lol. Thanks for the info guys!!!
ok so I looked at both brands and they both contain 1% sodium. I have not had a salt lock up yet so it must not be that big of deal.
but the brer rabbit brand claims 8% calcium and mag. where grandma's claims only 2%. both are high in K so that great for flower time and also big in the carb dept. so if I had the choice between the 2 brer rabbit would be mine

Fish or ISmokes,
Can I use molasses up till harvest? One of my girls is probably 2 weeks till harvest maybe less.

oh yeah I would go double on the dose maybe 2Tbs per gallon of water or even 3
I think you will notice a big differencewith how frosty and sticky she gets

Did 2 tbs per gallon last night. Ill up it to 3 next watering. Would cal/mag make a diffirence this late in the game for the near harvest girl? The others are closer to 3 to 4 weeks out
I think there is enough cal mag in the molasses

Valuable info as alway Fish Cake, cheers brotha
Mini update worth mentioning: Fox tailing on Diva is clear and fast. It looks like mini nugs growing on top of the big bud. More bud getting sticky too.

Here's a close up:
What does this look like? I'm seeing about 60% cloudy and 40% clear. Is that correct? I think I'm stil having difficulty telling which is milky and which is clear

You're great help man, I'd like to see a noob's point of view as well haha! So I guess me n you have the same idea of what's clear and what's cloudy. Now we'll see if our skills are failing us or not with some experienced answer. I could have taken a better pictures, but I was holding both the lens and the iphone on top of each other, and focus was very sensitive lol. Took me 2 minutes to take this one

The pic is good! Hope to see some advice! From what I understand the top ball on the trich is where to look unless its amber? The Amber ones are usually bent? Thats what my research pulled up so far.
