I use the molasses foliar spray in veg between top dressing as it will slightly nourish plant. Also it protects the plant from pathogens and pests.
Thanks for asking @Canuckush Happy Growing

ENTRY 20.1 August 22 2019
- Today I found leaf issues on the topped plant, appears to be deficiency and since top dress was scheduled for next watering. I advanced the schedule and top dressed with 3 tsps. Gaia Green All Purpose 4-4-4 and 2 tsps. Gaia Green Power Bloom 2-8-4.
- Watered with 1L ph'd well water followed by 1L ph'd well water with cap of cal-mag +
* added cal-mag+ to quickly get some needed nutrients to the plant as the top dress will take about 3 days to start to benefit plant
* now to investigate the issue

What Happened?
- The above pic was taken on Aug 20th, this day I noticed or it hit me weird that this plant which was so perfectly symmetrical had increased growth on the right side compared to the left as seen in the circled areas of pic, I just thought at the time "hmm that's odd"
- early signs of the deficiency could have been seen on leaves this day also but very minor and under the blurple light is more difficult. This is shown as the squares in the above pic. I did not see this at that time.
- I than consulted my spreadsheet of my watering to see if anything jumps out and ....

ENTRY 21.2 August 23 2019
What Happened?
Because I had started these plants in the 5 gal pot instead of up-potting I had scheduled the top dress 1 week later thinking the plants would not use at lot of the nutrients in the first week.
This was error #1 as I under-estimated how vigorous this strain was
The top dress should have been done at the three week watering which was error #2
I believe by catching this at this stage didn't hamper growth a huge amount but definitely affected the left side a bit.
Both seemed very happy by the time the lights were going off as seen in pics.
- the circles in pic show that the leaf issue is not progress so far
- because the plant is still very healthy I topped the right side ( square)

- plants pushing thru and considerable growth noticeable when I checked on them right before light in other tent goes off
- no more topping she is what she is now. By checking my spreadsheet log I probably shouldn't have topped the last time but that is why I saved 2 more seeds of this strain ( this first grow is more experimental / learning grow )
- new clones doing really good so I mixed up fresh batch of soil and filled 4, 3 gal fabric pots and will be transplanting 4 good ones on the 24th
- probably tossing a couple weak ones and gifting the rest to friends

TOPPED PLANT
- she almost fills this small tent and this is before I have done any LST on her
LST PLANT
- Removed 1 lower leaf and completely went around whole plant and tied done canopy
- when it is lights on in this tent she is moved over getting her used to her eventual new final home. She is looking like a scrog might be in her future
- bud development is considerably different in the two plants with the one in the small tent having much more developed bud sites. I don't think this is a result of training; I believe it is a result of the decreased lighting she receives when outside small tent.

Topped Plant (During Light On in Flower Tent)
- did final training on the topped plant she pretty much fills the small tent (actually did 2 trainings roughly 6 hours apart)
LST Plant (During Light On in Flower Tent)
Topped Plant (During Light Off in Flower Tent)
- a little crowded but it is mainly just the one the two clones jammed in there you can barely see
LST Plant (During Light Off in Flower Tent)
- she not very happy with this arrangement but only temporary
