Lots of people asking me about molasses lately. Hope this video helps those who are looking to learn how molasses can be incorporated into their gardens :) Link to my book on Amazon: amzn.to/39HiKjn (Please leave a review)
1 tablespoon per gallon thru veg and double in flower with regular watering schedule or when dry really helps the plant produce sugars an keeps the soil living good . its also cool to flush with molasses if done right for sweeter taste only if growing organic 100%

You can also pour your molasses in a small water bottle with a cap and a little water, screw cap on & shake until all molasses is dissolved then pour in your bucket, that's what I do to save time and stirring
i ve been growing for over 35+ years. i started using molasses about 8 years ago. i am an organic farmer. i use about 5 tablespoons for 30 gallons of airated water. i use the organic dark molasses. i grow in soil. i have had the same soil mix for the past 25 years. i grow many clones, many strains. 8 years ago, i worked for an indoor grow in Sebastopol for two years. They were very heavy handed on their nutrients. They put raw sugar in the water. When they put too much sugar in the water, the plants locked up. i believe the soil does buffer the water from becoming saturated with sugar. the viscocity of the water changes when sugar is overly used. Its like people with diabetes, when your blood is loaded with sugar, the blood begins to clog. i have found light sugar adds taste. micro nutrients allow the plants to thrive in a environment where weeds thrive. i think less is more when it comes to sugar. i add sugar when i begin the flowering cycle. most of my strains finish in 8 weeks. i stop feeding them sugar in week 6. flush is not a practice in my garden. i like this video, a good presentation. its nice to live in a world where cannabis is proliferated with care and science. Cervantes is a good source. i grew up on ask ed! many good sources! burn green!
I use 1tbsp/gallon every water from start to finish. It lowers the ph of my water to 6.5-6.8 so not only does it work to feed my soil but doubles as a organic ph down and my plants love it.
@@blocboi407 yea man been doing it for a couple years now. I’m not sure if actually uptakes any npk for the plant it’s self. It great feed for microorganisms anything else is just gravy
I didn't know there were different types. I've started using it and just paused this to go check mine. Heart pounding hoping it's unsulfered! I picked it up and read it was the right kind. Scared me for a sec lol!
Yes, I have been growing for 40 years. Always used molasses on my personal grows. Some of the corporations ive worked with used other fancy bloom builders. Every single one of them was mostly molasses. Some other plant sugars sometimes, yucca, etc. nothing works better than molasses tho. The Oldtimers in California taught me.
When you do your mixes..do you give all that say if it was gallon to a table spoon of nutrients. Do you give the whole gallon? Or put it in a spray bottle and spray as needed
@@dreknightpoeticinsight2974 use it to treat your plants/soil. I use it a couple times a week. 1tsp in 56oz small watering jug. Water plants, and then come back with my 1 liter sprayer of plain water.
..but then you can see that modern, not even "cutting edge" hydroponics without molasses easily blows away results using molasses. I wasn't even 20 years ago, people said molasses "goes into the roots", or "protects"... sure, molasses has some nutrients, but whenever you NAIL a grower on molasses and PROVE that "it doesn't do that", they just spin off into some new angle of "Bro-Gro science" without any real evidence. The microflora on the aerial parts of plants makes a much bigger difference in terms of the perceived "taste" or the produce than micrflora in the soil. Berry farmers know this as gospel.
@@michaelcarey9359 I swear I've tried to decipher this. Ain't changing my entire set up. You saying hydro over soil/ coco? And there no point using molases? Or to use as foliar? Teach me!
@@Warren2490 mollasses is actualy useless to cannabis plants cannabis plants can not take it up due to their Caspian strip .also the sugar in it is not as useful to bacteria as bacteria like simple sugars in the form of (glucose)dextrose this is whats commonly used in bacterial plating and storage .also the cannabis plant its self creats its own sugars through photosynthesis which it them excretes back out its roots into the rhizophere which the bacteria much rather interact with, over added sugars its creats a symbiotic effect amd really shouldnt have to add sugar ever if your biome is in healthy order.bacillus subtilis is well known for coating the roots and inviting healthy bacteria that will convert the plants sugars into complexes for the other bacteria in the soil
I use it once a week in Compost teas! 1 tbsp per 5 gal bucket of compost tea, bubble for 36 hours. Great show Chris! Sharing this with a friend who asked me about molasses
I use natural unsulfured blackstrap molasses during the whole grow but during veg cycle i only give it to my plants a few times maybe every few weeks and then flower i normally do 1-2tablespoons every other watering seems to work great for me! i definitely notice the difference between using and not using molasses the buds just look a lot nicer and full out better definitely a cheap easy way for beginners to step up their grows!
I live in Arizona and I'm getting the stuff around that I need to try my first grow. I've watched several hours of your videos and gotta say thanks for all the shared knowledge and help!
Np! Glad to hear it. Once you get going you'll realize there's lots of things you need to adjust for but with a little practice and patience you will succeed. Cheers!
I started using molasses about a year after I started growing. It immediately made a massive difference in the overall health of my plants. They're green and full of life. I cut my nutrient schedule in half in veg because the plants get so full and bushy. Then I was able to step it back up to the full strength in flower when they were feeding heavily and got massive buds. I've found the soil doesn't dry out nearly as bad and it gets spongy instead of dusty and dry which helps it retain some moisture in the root ball. I use 1/2 a TBSP/Gal in veg and then 1 TBSP/Gal in flower and it's been top notch ever since. I go every other watering with nutes from Heavy 16 and only use molasses on the watering days that I'm not feeding nutes as I don't want it to mess with the PPM. They say the plant doesn't uptake sugars but the smoke has a sweeter taste in my opinion. Hard to compare though other than the first time I used it the strain I was using went from skunky to sweet and fruity. Might have just been the different levels up nutrient uptake. A little molasses and humic acid go a long way in cutting your nutrient costs... Happy growing!
Heavy16 A/B + Worm casting tea once a week during veg. Heavy16 A/B + Pinch of Epsom Salt + Molasses on flip, 2WKS, 4WKS, and 6WKS. In Flower every other day is a watering with Ph'd water. At 7.5 WKS nothing else added to water thru finish. Last 3 days before harvest is darkness. Results have been great with most strains. Ayauasca from Barney Farms hated any changes.
I've used Molasses for years now. Reading through the comments I will throw my 2 cents in. I love using Molasses in Flower. If I have an extra mix I feed it to my Veg plants. No harm no foul. I use it with my bloom booster between feedings after week 4 in flower. I use 1 Tablespoon per gallon. I take a pint jar add my molasses in that with an amount of water. Put on lid shake till dissolved no need to heat. In my experience I have had issues of Calcium and Magnesium problems when used in conjunction with Cal/Mag additive. Most UNSULPHERED molasses have those 2 elements in a sufficient amount. I've even used Molasses to correct Cal/Mag issues in Veg. Remember too not every Garden is the same so use what fit's yours. IMO Molasses is a great cheap booster in flower that helps the buds swell. I don't use Organic however I do read the label if I can't find my Favorite "Grandma's Original " Unsulphered Molasses with the yellow label. As Mr. Grow it said some companies will put anything in what we consume. ..peace...Hawk
Blackstrap molasses is 0.35N-0P-2.5K with 0.5 calcium, 0.125 magnesium and 0.025 iron. Its in there, just not overly significant. One calmag product I found is 2-0-0, 3.2calcium and 1.2 mag 0.1 iron. 20-25 ml molasses per gallon would replace CalMag fertilizers basically. 4-6x the dose.
I have been growing for a lot of year and have been using molasses for at least 7 years now. It is safe to use throughout the full grow. Since i introduced it to my growing. I have seen so many benefits. Healthier plants better root zone. I use it once every week on my water feed. 1 tablespoon per gallon of water. I will always use it
I've learned so much from this channel thanks Brody for your time and knowledge been trying on my last 2 grows and definitely see the results from the Molasses and cheap I use tomato food for flower. And they love it!
It works well just started using it in flowering stage. It made a very big difference in the bud quality ! Also mist plants down with a little molasses & water at night. Thanks
@@luisgonzalez8423 I disagree but he didn’t even say he’s glad he didn’t get stoned beforehand he just said I’m happy u don’t act like a stoner. Like wtf?? What kinda stoner says sum like that.
Great vid Mr Grow It!!! Just as usual it’s always a pleasure watching your clips!! Yes we always have used unsulfered molasses in our gardens! Yep works great for feeding microbes yes sir 👍💯😎🤜
I use the same brand from hole foods.. I have been using black strap for years now and highly recommend it for soil growers. I find my plants love it...
Rain water, two tablespoons per one liter. I use it when there is about thirty days left of flowering. Lots of composted horse manure with top dressing of straw chicken litter so the extra feeds the microbes in composted soil material. Drains well in soil here at high mountain desert plateau hideout NM. Using for twenty years and it's cheap!
Thank you!! I hope you like the new content I'll be putting out. Many people have been liking my recent podcast episodes so you may want to check them out if you haven't already 🌱
I use 1 tbsp every gallon 1 time week. Unsulphered. I want in stove in morning mix it up & feed in afternoon. You can also use it make gingerbread 🍪cookies if anyone gets munchies! Peace ✌
Yes I actually use the same exact molasses at the same rate during flowering that you presented here in your video, great job, keep bringing us more of this valuable information thank you
Yup. I mostly use black strap molasses about a week after flower has started, cause the plants are more demanding. The girls in veg will get some too. But only every few feedings.
For the metric folks out there, the golden rule of thumb according to old-time growers is 4-6ml/L in veg and 8-10ml/L in flower. Your plants will love you for it!
Can you Do this with your regular nutes like canna a+b in veg. & a+b flower. Or are you saying molasses only?? Also using a boost like bloombastick, Or pk/13/14. ?
@@benemeney7336 I've always incorporated the molasses in with my nutes every feeding. It has always been just fine. But if you prefer the extra work, ad it on separate days than the nutes.
great video Chris, I usually add it in flowering weeks 3-5 a couple times no more then 3-5 feedings. I had a problem where the soil just held water and caused roots to not uptake the nutrients. Again i'm not sure if molasses was the cause, or not. Durning flushing phase i just do straight un-PH'ed water similar to what "grateful grower" suggests.
Hey Chris thanks for the video I am kinda on the late train but I’m incorporating molasses into my grow. I got a lot of information from the video man. Thanks again
Hi - enjoyed that video thanks for the upload - I'm in Ireland we don't get a lot of molasses here - I use Malt extract during flowering and basically the way you use Molasses - There's a mountain spring a few miles away and that's where I get my water (Tap water never) and warm it up to dissolve the Malt extract - I use that around once a week during flowering and with CO2 yields are excellent....! I hope you and yours are in good health and humor - happy Christmas....!
Hey Chris, I use molasses and tea's but I am finding some interesting info as I do research. Have you looked into the living soil experts out in the organic gardening and agricultural sector? They are adding some interesting scientific peer reviewed studies on microbiology and plant health. Now that weed is legal they are professional allowed to associate with the canabis industry without risking their professional status. There seems to be a trend that is going towards simple extractions of microbes by washing them out of a good worm casting/ compost vs brewed teas with simple sugars as food.... Many benefits in the living soils that are being perpetually grown in. Not sure if it makes a difference in small pots that have not yet developed the higher order bacteria/ protozoa/ fungi of the life systems that are found in a more mature living soil. Have you considered getting a compound microscope to check your soil life? Love your video's. Keep them coming!
I have been using molasses since the 1980’s after an old hippie dude told me the benefits of molasses during flowering. Since then i passed on this advise to every grower I met. I also been using alfalfa pellets since the 80’s as well after I seen the natives in New Mexico using alfalfa for their corn fields to improve soil and growth since they grow in desert like environment.
@@backbone93 I use the alfalfa pellets you get from feed stores. Definitely unsulfered black strap molasses. BTW, they sell at feed stores in 5 gallon buckets.
@@backbone93 it’s alfalfa. Just dried and compressed. alfalfa is naturally high in nitrogen. It also benefits soil microorganisms by helping them convert soil nutrients into soluble forms more available to plants. Moreover, alfalfa contains high amounts of the naturally occurring growth hormone, Triacontanol, which boosts the growth rates of plants. This is why alfalfa sprout tea is like steroids for plants.
Hi i have been growing for about 5 years now i started using molasses a little over a year ago i noticed better results when used mid flower around weeks 4 through 7 i usually use in between feedings with just plain ph dechlorinated water with cal/mag then next feeding ill use my nutrients with out molasses and i keep that up until its time to flush and i flush for about 2 weeks with plain dechlorinated water thats at the right ph. I've experienced better trichomes development and tastier, better smelling bud at end result. Later yall happy growing!
Totally agree with this and your methods with molasses, definitely more noticeable effects mid to late flower from day 21 onwards, I use it through flush also as it helps to reduce salts in the medium.
Thanks for being so very specific. Everyone on CZcams including this video doesn't go into the specifics like which weeks and what effects specifically they see that is actually different. Even though this guy in this video gives way more specifics and granular information that is needed. Some stuff he doesn't. You doing this in the responses is Amazing!!!
Hi there I have been growing for many years but have only began using Molasses for the last 3 grows In my experience there has been great improvements at all stages from seed to flower and also would like to note that I use it as a cloning solution by just dipping the tip straight in the Molasses and is very successful in root growth I also use it as a foliar spray 1 Tbl spoon to 2 litres water Great Video Thanks
I’ve been watching your videos and find them very helpful. I started using molasses on my second grow once a week. I’m at 8 weeks and it appears to help. AGAIN, it’s my 2nd grow and I’m so experienced 🥴🤣
I like to use a blender with my molasses water seems throughly mixed and aerated. Ive been trying and learning about living soil more this year and started feeding from seedling 🌱 it's been really nice so far. Granted the more and longer you test comparisons the better. Enjoy your videos and effort, always good work.
I have found using a Pyrex or microwave safe cup to heat about a cup or 2 of water, then adding the tablespoon of molasses to the heated water helps break down the sugar easier. Then adding the Cole’s down mix to my gallon helps huge. No blender or furious mixing needed!
I used to use molasses with great success. I did switch to real growers recharge though. It has molasses in it amongst many other things such as microbes, humic acid, fulvic acid, and amino acids. It’s not necessarily cheap but a little goes a long way and contains a really good cocktail that covers many bases for healthy organic growing. Great topics. Thank you for the content.
Good information for such a short video. I have been going back and forth on whether or not to use molasses. I have a friend who does. Then I watched a few guys who said they prefer not to use it. I will have to give it a shot. Thanks
Hey! Hello from Canada. Love your show, I have recently started feeding with molasses at 1 tablespoon per 4 liters of water. I did note thanks to my son, the molasses changed the water ph by about. .2 to .3 in 4 liters of water. So we started adding it and any nutrients needed before ph down. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this. But thanks to the new killer ph pen we can measure to .01 of ph. Thank you for sharing yourself with us and all the great people who come on too! Bow down to Dr.Bruce Bugsby !!! That guy rocks!!! Learning every day. Thanks again guys!
Sup mate, I suggest you check on plieszo by adding him on Snapchat his products taste extremely good and fire,he got best quality strains,l usually shop from him he is legit and much reliable
I have tried both ways, feeding in just flower, and throughout the plants life, i feel like flower stage is all that's needed just from my own experience growing, as far as the amount i mixed 2-3 tsp per gallon they all did very well
Coco grower here and just wondering, I use cynthetic nutes that I have to mix n what not..... Can I add the Molasses to the feed or only with plain watering? If that makes sense?
@@jonsmith2748 no, but I would try to wipe as much off as possible as you don’t want it on your leaves during the light cycle, liquids on leafs while light are on can burn the leaves and dry them out.... but, you can use molasses as a foliage spray mixed with water, ideally you would spray an hour before you cut your lights on. You don’t spray while lights are on, because you run the risk of burns your leafs.
Having subscribed and tuned in religiously to your channel I have followed your recommendations as you seem to give good advice at the right time, but I must say that adding the advised measures of molasses to your feed mix is without a doubt the best thing I have ever done to my garden, the results are absolutely amazing...... Thankyou Mr. Grow it.
Just now seeing this.....great video Chris...Mr. Grow It. Informative short direct to the point. I didn't know about the 2 types of molasses until recently.....also gave myself potassium burn.
Just watched your video, what makes this different than usual? When I clicked on the like button, it asked me if I thought this video was good. Of course, but then it asked why it was good. So I told them it was informative. Hope this helps with the algorithm, cause you guy's need more air time. Thanks for all you do. So your the first person to see who I really am. AKA Wolfsb4n3.
Yes, I learned of this several years ago. The crude sugars blackstrap molasses provides feeds the microbial life present in the soil. Some years when I was making eorm castings tea, i would use blackstrap molasses to feed and create the active frothy bloom when aerating the tea.
Doin the same meself, with vege scraps +kelp + lemongrass + castings + racehorse crap + bird crap + my crap and my special butcherbird spew pellets, when I give my freerange songbirds a feed of mince , I wait until about 9am after they've had a good feed but when the mince is put out they fly over , stand around for 5 minutes, hang a crap, sing along with their favourites, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath , I play lots of everything but THEY PREFER those above all I kid yas not , then after our jam session, they kindly spew up a marble-sized piece of goodness in return for the meat, which is then added to my 20l bin of aerated organic elixir, that I call BBBoost, No I don't stutter, it's short for butch bird boost. I add basically anything organic and the wierder the better. Brew it for a month or until the pungent smell sweetens up from the mollasses just add it and your robert PLANTS and they'll be singing better than the butcherbirds. Love the shit
@@cherylfett5390 the mixing of the 2 increase's terp production. 2 cups vit. D milk, 4 cups water & 3 tbls of unsulffered molassas. ( grandmas or blackstrap.) I still use it. Only thing that I've noticed. It's like the milk works it's way through some of the leaves. Leaves a dry residue. Small problem for the amount of frost. Worked very well for mendo breath & sour tangie
I'm using natures living soil so I just have to add water and add photosynthesis plus , I was thinking of putting molasses but my question is because I'm using a organic living soil grow I won't flush the plant can I still not flush if I put in molasses?
I use molasses in the soil for the last transplant, prepared before its transplanted and then in once a week from week 4 flowering. At the end of the week with enzymes and after one feeding. Finally I use double after the 48 hour darkness period and I harvest early morning after the leaves pop back up.
i fill a jug with water and put a tablespoon of molasses and atablespoon of recharge and put an airstone in it, let it bubble for a few days and then i just add a little of that to every other watering, doing amazing!
I use two tablespoons of molasses per gallon, starting the first week of flower after the transition. I'll feed molasses about once a week up until one week before harvest. Trichome production goes through the roof, so much less important towards the end of flowering.
I use molasses as food for micro’s in the compost tea I make. I use this every 2 weeks. I also use it during my flush-1 tablespoon per gallon like you do.
Excellent information....thank you...same dosage as you the tea spoon, and boy oh boy did the plants grow after putting it in the soil.....it was amazing...🙏
Thank Chris! Great subject matter today. I use 2 tablespoons per gallon. I check my PPM’s and it’s always under 1000. I’ve used it at all stages especially during the final weeks of flower. I’ve experienced great success.
I use it about 1.5 Teaspoon once a week with my other microbes. And I start during week 2 bloom.. so far nice results. I can cut back on other expensive products.
COOL thanks So Much for this, I always wanted more info on molasses. I enjoyed your LST vid too. Could you maybe do a follow up on how and when to prune leaves in the veg state. My friend clips the large leaves on the top of the plant when the stems turn purplely?
I actually had an issue I think resulted from molasses. 1 tbsp per gal, it was powder form. Before transplant my plants were showing signs of stress with significant droopage. When I transplanted I had initially thought it was root rot due to the root color however, there was no smell or slime. I sprayed dilute h2o2 on them roots and saw no fizzle. What I did see was the root color lightening up and it dawned on me... its molasses build up. My assumption is I didn't thoroughly mix or it was too concentrated in the water (1 tbsp/gal) essentially suffocating the roots. Stopped feeding molasses and whammo. Perked right up. This is just an assumption but for readers it's food for thought. Gl!
I stopped using in flower! Flowering period requires more Manganese than Iron! This is what I've heard from "Build-a-Soil". I was looking for some micronutrients and found a special version made for them by Dr Faust(?) of "Bio-Ag". This had more Manganese and less Iron than Bio-Ag's own version. I use Honey now, in flowering, along with Coconut water for Carbs/Sugars and it's high Potassium content (easiest/cheapest way is powdered Coconut water). I bought some Manganese Sulfate (very inexpensive, and very little needed), and put a tiny pinch in a gallon, here and there. I've used molasses for several years all through the growth/flowering period, and just brought a gallon of Organic Molasses, lol. It will last me awhile now! I still use Molasses through Veg, and the first 2 wks of flower. I use a "dime spot"(size at the bottom of a clear gallon container), so a few drops at most, but each watering. WARNING! USING TOO MUCH MOLASSES CAN CAUSE ROOT ROT! SO A SMALL AMOUNT FREQUENTLY, OR MORE, IF USED WEEKLY/MONTHLY! GREAT STUFF! INEXPENSIVE! BE CAREFUL THOUGH. AND PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LOOK AT "BUILD-A-SOIL" FLOWERING MICRONUTRIENTS, BY BIO-AG'S DR FAUST, AND THEY'RE FINDINGS WITH MORE MANGANESE THAN IRON. AT LEAST W/CANNA You may find out more info than me. Worth looking into, my friend @Garden Talk with Mr. Grow It Thanks!
Plants don't eat sugar, the sugar/molasses feeds the microbes and is great for the rhizosphere but the plants don't use sugar themselves. During veg there are plenty of things for the microbes to snack on but toward the middle to end of flowering the sugar /molasses will be like a turbo shot and will really stimulate microbe activity which in return will release more nutrients in an available form that the plants can use.
I use Myco Chum, which is a blend of molasses, fish hydrolysate, liquid kelp, humic acids and nutrients. I use every other watering but only as a ph down. The recommended dose of 5ml per gallon drops my water ph way too low. It usually takes about .5-1ml per gallon for me to go from a ph of 8 to 6.5. Combined with Recharge and Mammoth P, my plants seem to love it. ☮️
As always great info...i really appreciate the way you try to help other growers...also your collaboration vids with other growers,, that really gives the viewers options...well keep it growing and stsy safe....

I live in Arizona and I'm getting the stuff around that I need to try my first grow. I've watched several hours of your videos and gotta say thanks for all the shared knowledge and help!
Np! Glad to hear it. Once you get going you'll realize there's lots of things you need to adjust for but with a little practice and patience you will succeed. Cheers!
Mee Tooo!
the day prop 207 passed i had seeds in the mail. haha
@@kylecampbell3 i got a head start, I started growing once the lock down started
@@izzem me too..I got a monster black banana cookies in a 10 gal 🤠
I started using molasses about a year after I started growing. It immediately made a massive difference in the overall health of my plants. They're green and full of life. I cut my nutrient schedule in half in veg because the plants get so full and bushy. Then I was able to step it back up to the full strength in flower when they were feeding heavily and got massive buds. I've found the soil doesn't dry out nearly as bad and it gets spongy instead of dusty and dry which helps it retain some moisture in the root ball. I use 1/2 a TBSP/Gal in veg and then 1 TBSP/Gal in flower and it's been top notch ever since. I go every other watering with nutes from Heavy 16 and only use molasses on the watering days that I'm not feeding nutes as I don't want it to mess with the PPM. They say the plant doesn't uptake sugars but the smoke has a sweeter taste in my opinion. Hard to compare though other than the first time I used it the strain I was using went from skunky to sweet and fruity. Might have just been the different levels up nutrient uptake. A little molasses and humic acid go a long way in cutting your nutrient costs... Happy growing!
Heavy16 A/B + Worm casting tea once a week during veg. Heavy16 A/B + Pinch of Epsom Salt + Molasses on flip, 2WKS, 4WKS, and 6WKS. In Flower every other day is a watering with Ph'd water. At 7.5 WKS nothing else added to water thru finish. Last 3 days before harvest is darkness. Results have been great with most strains. Ayauasca from Barney Farms hated any changes.
@@greenmedfred7424darkness is unnecessary. Per harley smith
Molasses in hydro?
Same experience ❤
Cool as
I've used Molasses for years now. Reading through the comments I will throw my 2 cents in. I love using Molasses in Flower. If I have an extra mix I feed it to my Veg plants. No harm no foul. I use it with my bloom booster between feedings after week 4 in flower. I use 1 Tablespoon per gallon. I take a pint jar add my molasses in that with an amount of water. Put on lid shake till dissolved no need to heat. In my experience I have had issues of Calcium and Magnesium problems when used in conjunction with Cal/Mag additive. Most UNSULPHERED molasses have those 2 elements in a sufficient amount. I've even used Molasses to correct Cal/Mag issues in Veg. Remember too not every Garden is the same so use what fit's yours. IMO Molasses is a great cheap booster in flower that helps the buds swell. I don't use Organic however I do read the label if I can't find my Favorite "Grandma's Original " Unsulphered Molasses with the yellow label. As Mr. Grow it said some companies will put anything in what we consume. ..peace...Hawk
Grandma’s Original is what I have used for years.
Blackstrap molasses is 0.35N-0P-2.5K with 0.5 calcium, 0.125 magnesium and 0.025 iron.
Its in there, just not overly significant.
One calmag product I found is 2-0-0, 3.2calcium and 1.2 mag 0.1 iron.
20-25 ml molasses per gallon would replace CalMag fertilizers basically.
4-6x the dose.
I just bought some molasses I'm using for my houseplants. I never knew and I'm excited to see results. Thanks for the video, perfect timing!!
I haven't used molasses yet and this video is very helpful for my future growing. Thanks again for being so informative in your videos
Once again dropping that knowledge. Thanks for the content.💯✌️
Peace brother. I'm a 1st time watcher but I appreciate the straight to the point knowledge & I'll share a video with you. ✌💚🌍
I have been growing for a lot of year and have been using molasses for at least 7 years now. It is safe to use throughout the full grow. Since i introduced it to my growing. I have seen so many benefits. Healthier plants better root zone. I use it once every week on my water feed. 1 tablespoon per gallon of water. I will always use it
I've learned so much from this channel thanks Brody for your time and knowledge been trying on my last 2 grows and definitely see the results from the Molasses and cheap I use tomato food for flower. And they love it!
I'm beginner so this helped me out alot ...ima keep watching more to learn more
Oaks U! That my go to book! That’s exactly where I got the idea of using molasses. And I definitely seen more benefits in flowering.
This was awesome! Def good to know stuff.
It works well just started using it in flowering stage. It made a very big difference in the bud quality ! Also mist plants down with a little molasses & water at night. Thanks
I will definitely try to use at more stages of the grow, great video man, Cheers!
Awsome video chris...appreciate this one as many!!!
You get this question a lot on your website. Good video
I enjoying watching you because you don’t act like a stoner. Your serious about your message.
Thats because he didnt get stoned yet
Stop feeding into the stereotype of a stoner, a stoner can be completely coherent and professional like he was

I am happy so far. Thanks Chris for all your help.
Great vid Mr Grow It!!! Just as usual it’s always a pleasure watching your clips!! Yes we always have used unsulfered molasses in our gardens! Yep works great for feeding microbes yes sir 👍💯😎🤜
I use the same brand from hole foods.. I have been using black strap for years now and highly recommend it for soil growers. I find my plants love it...
Rain water, two tablespoons per one liter. I use it when there is about thirty days left of flowering. Lots of composted horse manure with top dressing of straw chicken litter so the extra feeds the microbes in composted soil material. Drains well in soil here at high mountain desert plateau hideout NM. Using for twenty years and it's cheap!
I’ve watched dozens of your videos. I finally subscribed. Thanks for your work
Thank you!! I hope you like the new content I'll be putting out. Many people have been liking my recent podcast episodes so you may want to check them out if you haven't already 🌱
much love.
great inspiration from your videos and teaching.
I use 1 tbsp every gallon 1 time week. Unsulphered. I want in stove in morning mix it up & feed in afternoon. You can also use it make gingerbread 🍪cookies if anyone gets munchies! Peace ✌
Thank you bro..finally someone who just answers the freakin question!! ✌🤙
Was curious to see your view and after watching totally agree. Glad to watch and liked I do same at flower time!
I do, I think it is very good for the medium. Love your podcasts and videos, I've learned so much. Thanks
Yes I actually use the same exact molasses at the same rate during flowering that you presented here in your video, great job, keep bringing us more of this valuable information thank you
I used the same molasses. Used it once per week. Watered twice per week. Outdoor grow. Same dosage. Great results.
Yup. I mostly use black strap molasses about a week after flower has started, cause the plants are more demanding. The girls in veg will get some too. But only every few feedings.
Trying this right now. First time for everything. Thanks for the help
Excellent, i always wanted to know about this.... many thanks
For the metric folks out there, the golden rule of thumb according to old-time growers is 4-6ml/L in veg and 8-10ml/L in flower. Your plants will love you for it!
Can you Do this with your regular nutes like canna a+b in veg. & a+b flower. Or are you saying molasses only?? Also using a boost like bloombastick, Or pk/13/14. ?
@@benemeney7336 i was wondering the same thing?
Thank you
@@benemeney7336 I've always incorporated the molasses in with my nutes every feeding. It has always been just fine. But if you prefer the extra work, ad it on separate days than the nutes.
great video Chris, I usually add it in flowering weeks 3-5 a couple times no more then 3-5 feedings. I had a problem where the soil just held water and caused roots to not uptake the nutrients. Again i'm not sure if molasses was the cause, or not. Durning flushing phase i just do straight un-PH'ed water similar to what "grateful grower" suggests.
Hey Chris thanks for the video I am kinda on the late train but I’m incorporating molasses into my grow. I got a lot of information from the video man. Thanks again
Enjoy your videos just started my first grow. Plus purchased your book, thanks for sharing your knowledge. One
Hi - enjoyed that video thanks for the upload - I'm in Ireland we don't get a lot of molasses here - I use Malt extract during flowering and basically the way you use Molasses - There's a mountain spring a few miles away and that's where I get my water (Tap water never) and warm it up to dissolve the Malt extract - I use that around once a week during flowering and with CO2 yields are excellent....!
I hope you and yours are in good health and humor - happy Christmas....!
Hey Chris, I use molasses and tea's but I am finding some interesting info as I do research. Have you looked into the living soil experts out in the organic gardening and agricultural sector? They are adding some interesting scientific peer reviewed studies on microbiology and plant health. Now that weed is legal they are professional allowed to associate with the canabis industry without risking their professional status. There seems to be a trend that is going towards simple extractions of microbes by washing them out of a good worm casting/ compost vs brewed teas with simple sugars as food.... Many benefits in the living soils that are being perpetually grown in. Not sure if it makes a difference in small pots that have not yet developed the higher order bacteria/ protozoa/ fungi of the life systems that are found in a more mature living soil. Have you considered getting a compound microscope to check your soil life? Love your video's. Keep them coming!
Great vid! Cant wait to contribute to
The community like you do!
Thank Chris! Great subject matter today
I have been using molasses since the 1980’s after an old hippie dude told me the benefits of molasses during flowering. Since then i passed on this advise to every grower I met. I also been using alfalfa pellets since the 80’s as well after I seen the natives in New Mexico using alfalfa for their corn fields to improve soil and growth since they grow in desert like environment.
Nice, do you have any tipps in what type of alfalfa pellets to use, like what to look out for, like "dont get sulfur'd molasses" ?
@@backbone93 I use the alfalfa pellets you get from feed stores. Definitely unsulfered black strap molasses. BTW, they sell at feed stores in 5 gallon buckets.
@@IBMikmaq so nothing to watch out for when buying it? Ok
@@backbone93 it’s alfalfa. Just dried and compressed. alfalfa is naturally high in nitrogen. It also benefits soil microorganisms by helping them convert soil nutrients into soluble forms more available to plants. Moreover, alfalfa contains high amounts of the naturally occurring growth hormone, Triacontanol, which boosts the growth rates of plants. This is why alfalfa sprout tea is like steroids for plants.
Just subscribed! You're a really good teacher. We've been using blackstrap molasses 1Tbsp per gallon whole growth cycle, once a week.
Great Video!!!!!
Hi i have been growing for about 5 years now i started using molasses a little over a year ago i noticed better results when used mid flower around weeks 4 through 7 i usually use in between feedings with just plain ph dechlorinated water with cal/mag then next feeding ill use my nutrients with out molasses and i keep that up until its time to flush and i flush for about 2 weeks with plain dechlorinated water thats at the right ph. I've experienced better trichomes development and tastier, better smelling bud at end result. Later yall happy growing!
Totally agree with this and your methods with molasses, definitely more noticeable effects mid to late flower from day 21 onwards, I use it through flush also as it helps to reduce salts in the medium.
Thanks for being so very specific. Everyone on CZcams including this video doesn't go into the specifics like which weeks and what effects specifically they see that is actually different. Even though this guy in this video gives way more specifics and granular information that is needed. Some stuff he doesn't. You doing this in the responses is Amazing!!!
@@wrightt360 my thoughts exactly 👍🏼
I’m gonna give your method a try how many tablespoons per gallon do you use I grow organic and I just started thanks for your info!
@@FamilyHouse72 Hi, i use just one tablespoon per gallon shake rigorously that molasses is pretty thick.
You are on the money when it comes to molasses Chris 🤑💯 .
thank you for sharing this well documented precious information! cheers from N.B Canada! peace!

I've been using molasses and coconut water mixture for years, definitely mix it a bit stronger during flowing with great results indoors and outdoors
Coconut water please explain?
@@brockgangell5759 the power of Google Buddy.
@@ballard6620 ok then thanks
@ballard6620 wilderness poet. Freeze dried coconut powder. The reviews vary. But would this be ok for plants?
Hi there I have been growing for many years but have only began using Molasses for the last 3 grows In my experience there has been great improvements at all stages from seed to flower and also would like to note that I use it as a cloning solution by just dipping the tip straight in the Molasses and is very successful in root growth I also use it as a foliar spray 1 Tbl spoon to 2 litres water Great Video Thanks
I’ve been watching your videos and find them very helpful. I started using molasses on my second grow once a week. I’m at 8 weeks and it appears to help. AGAIN, it’s my 2nd grow and I’m so experienced 🥴🤣
Great advice. I generally use it when the bud sites appear forward to a week before harvest. Remember soil likes to eat too.
I like to use a blender with my molasses water seems throughly mixed and aerated. Ive been trying and learning about living soil more this year and started feeding from seedling 🌱 it's been really nice so far. Granted the more and longer you test comparisons the better. Enjoy your videos and effort, always good work.
I have found using a Pyrex or microwave safe cup to heat about a cup or 2 of water, then adding the tablespoon of molasses to the heated water helps break down the sugar easier. Then adding the Cole’s down mix to my gallon helps huge. No blender or furious mixing needed!
I used to use molasses with great success. I did switch to real growers recharge though. It has molasses in it amongst many other things such as microbes, humic acid, fulvic acid, and amino acids. It’s not necessarily cheap but a little goes a long way and contains a really good cocktail that covers many bases for healthy organic growing. Great topics. Thank you for the content.
I love Recharge. I've been meaning to pick some more up
It's a small % and not enough to provide the nutes from the actual molasses. Recharge puts just enough to feed the microbes.
Good information for such a short video. I have been going back and forth on whether or not to use molasses. I have a friend who does. Then I watched a few guys who said they prefer not to use it. I will have to give it a shot. Thanks
Hey! Hello from Canada. Love your show, I have recently started feeding with molasses at 1 tablespoon per 4 liters of water. I did note thanks to my son, the molasses changed the water ph by about. .2 to .3 in 4 liters of water. So we started adding it and any nutrients needed before ph down. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this. But thanks to the new killer ph pen we can measure to .01 of ph. Thank you for sharing yourself with us and all the great people who come on too! Bow down to Dr.Bruce Bugsby !!! That guy rocks!!! Learning every day. Thanks again guys!
Just ordered your book.
Sup mate, I suggest you check on plieszo by adding him on Snapchat his products taste extremely good and fire,he got best quality strains,l usually shop from him he is legit and much reliable
I use molasses in my grow and sometimes mix with a pinch of Epson salt mixed with tumeric. This works great at a dose every 3 days.
I'm a Tabasco Sauce kinda guy.
Great advice thank you for making this video
Great info and content thanks
I have tried both ways, feeding in just flower, and throughout the plants life, i feel like flower stage is all that's needed just from my own experience growing, as far as the amount i mixed 2-3 tsp per gallon they all did very well
I’m with you 2-3 tsp per gallon
Will it hurt your plant if you get it on the leaves on accident?
Coco grower here and just wondering, I use cynthetic nutes that I have to mix n what not..... Can I add the Molasses to the feed or only with plain watering? If that makes sense?
@@jonsmith2748 no, but I would try to wipe as much off as possible as you don’t want it on your leaves during the light cycle, liquids on leafs while light are on can burn the leaves and dry them out.... but, you can use molasses as a foliage spray mixed with water, ideally you would spray an hour before you cut your lights on. You don’t spray while lights are on, because you run the risk of burns your leafs.
Having subscribed and tuned in religiously to your channel I have followed your recommendations as you seem to give good advice at the right time, but I must say that adding the advised measures of molasses to your feed mix is without a doubt the best thing I have ever done to my garden, the results are absolutely amazing...... Thankyou Mr. Grow it.
Just now seeing this.....great video Chris...Mr. Grow It. Informative short direct to the point. I didn't know about the 2 types of molasses until recently.....also gave myself potassium burn.
Just watched your video, what makes this different than usual? When I clicked on the like button, it asked me if I thought this video was good. Of course, but then it asked why it was good. So I told them it was informative. Hope this helps with the algorithm, cause you guy's need more air time. Thanks for all you do. So your the first person to see who I really am. AKA Wolfsb4n3.
Yes, I learned of this several years ago. The crude sugars blackstrap molasses provides feeds the microbial life present in the soil. Some years when I was making eorm castings tea, i would use blackstrap molasses to feed and create the active frothy bloom when aerating the tea.
Doin the same meself, with vege scraps +kelp + lemongrass + castings + racehorse crap + bird crap + my crap and my special butcherbird spew pellets, when I give my freerange songbirds a feed of mince , I wait until about 9am after they've had a good feed but when the mince is put out they fly over , stand around for 5 minutes, hang a crap, sing along with their favourites, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath , I play lots of everything but THEY PREFER those above all I kid yas not , then after our jam session, they kindly spew up a marble-sized piece of goodness in return for the meat, which is then added to my 20l bin of aerated organic elixir, that I call BBBoost, No I don't stutter, it's short for butch bird boost. I add basically anything organic and the wierder the better. Brew it for a month or until the pungent smell sweetens up from the mollasses just add it and your robert PLANTS and they'll be singing better than the butcherbirds.
Love the shit
Yes, I use Grandmas unsulfered molasses & vit.d whole milk to increase the frost on the buds. Definitely worked every time I tried it.
What does the milk do for the plants?
@@cherylfett5390 the mixing of the 2 increase's terp production. 2 cups vit. D milk, 4 cups water & 3 tbls of unsulffered molassas. ( grandmas or blackstrap.) I still use it. Only thing that I've noticed. It's like the milk works it's way through some of the leaves. Leaves a dry residue. Small problem for the amount of frost. Worked very well for mendo breath & sour tangie
Thank you so much for the reply and information. So kind of you
No problem, anytime.
Great video as always
I agree flowering is the best time to use it notice that the trichrome production just explodes literally days after you use it
Have used molasses in all stages of growth the results r clearly obvious that it works great
I'm using natures living soil so I just have to add water and add photosynthesis plus , I was thinking of putting molasses but my question is because I'm using a organic living soil grow I won't flush the plant can I still not flush if I put in molasses?
@@yz4284 you dont need to flush your soil if you grow with organic nutrients.
Every how many days
I use molasses in the soil for the last transplant, prepared before its transplanted and then in once a week from week 4 flowering. At the end of the week with enzymes and after one feeding. Finally I use double after the 48 hour darkness period and I harvest early morning after the leaves pop back up.
i fill a jug with water and put a tablespoon of molasses and atablespoon of recharge and put an airstone in it, let it bubble for a few days and then i just add a little of that to every other watering, doing amazing!
Been using for years! Very satisfying! Buds are more dense and sticky! Love daa stuff! Brer rabbit! Best nutrients!
I use two tablespoons of molasses per gallon, starting the first week of flower after the transition. I'll feed molasses about once a week up until one week before harvest. Trichome production goes through the roof, so much less important towards the end of flowering.
Hey man ! Your channel is so interesting, can't wait that France become legal ... Would love to meet and talk to you ! Cheers
Another good video and cool information
Subbed! Good stuff bro 😎.
I use molasses as food for micro’s in the compost tea I make. I use this every 2 weeks. I also use it during my flush-1 tablespoon per gallon like you do.
Good show. I use 1 tablespoon per gallon of blackstrap throughout grow. No issues.
Great video excellent and accurate content.
Excellent information....thank you...same dosage as you the tea spoon, and boy oh boy did the plants grow after putting it in the soil.....it was amazing...🙏
Thank Chris! Great subject matter today. I use 2 tablespoons per gallon. I check my PPM’s and it’s always under 1000. I’ve used it at all stages especially during the final weeks of flower. I’ve experienced great success.
I use it about 1.5 Teaspoon once a week with my other microbes. And I start during week 2 bloom.. so far nice results. I can cut back on other expensive products.
Great information 😎
COOL thanks So Much for this, I always wanted more info on molasses. I enjoyed your LST vid too. Could you maybe do a follow up on how and when to prune leaves in the veg state. My friend clips the large leaves on the top of the plant when the stems turn purplely?

I actually had an issue I think resulted from molasses. 1 tbsp per gal, it was powder form. Before transplant my plants were showing signs of stress with significant droopage. When I transplanted I had initially thought it was root rot due to the root color however, there was no smell or slime. I sprayed dilute h2o2 on them roots and saw no fizzle. What I did see was the root color lightening up and it dawned on me... its molasses build up. My assumption is I didn't thoroughly mix or it was too concentrated in the water (1 tbsp/gal) essentially suffocating the roots. Stopped feeding molasses and whammo. Perked right up. This is just an assumption but for readers it's food for thought. Gl!
I stopped using in flower! Flowering period requires more Manganese than Iron!
This is what I've heard from "Build-a-Soil". I was looking for some micronutrients and found a special version made for them by Dr Faust(?) of "Bio-Ag".
This had more Manganese and less Iron than Bio-Ag's own version. I use Honey now, in flowering, along with Coconut water for Carbs/Sugars and it's high Potassium content (easiest/cheapest way is powdered Coconut water). I bought some Manganese Sulfate (very inexpensive, and very little needed), and put a tiny pinch in a gallon, here and there.
I've used molasses for several years all through the growth/flowering period, and just brought a gallon of Organic Molasses, lol.
It will last me awhile now! I still use Molasses through Veg, and the first 2 wks of flower.
I use a "dime spot"(size at the bottom of a clear gallon container), so a few drops at most, but each watering.
WARNING! USING TOO MUCH MOLASSES CAN CAUSE ROOT ROT! SO A SMALL AMOUNT FREQUENTLY, OR MORE, IF USED WEEKLY/MONTHLY!
GREAT STUFF! INEXPENSIVE!
BE CAREFUL THOUGH. AND PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LOOK AT "BUILD-A-SOIL" FLOWERING MICRONUTRIENTS, BY BIO-AG'S DR FAUST, AND THEY'RE FINDINGS WITH MORE MANGANESE THAN IRON. AT LEAST W/CANNA
You may find out more info than me. Worth looking into, my friend @Garden Talk with Mr. Grow It
Thanks!
Great video. I’ve been using Sulphur Free from Holland and Barrett (in U.K.). Great video again, thank you. Stay safe....
Plants don't eat sugar, the sugar/molasses feeds the microbes and is great for the rhizosphere but the plants don't use sugar themselves. During veg there are plenty of things for the microbes to snack on but toward the middle to end of flowering the sugar /molasses will be like a turbo shot and will really stimulate microbe activity which in return will release more nutrients in an available form that the plants can use.
I use Myco Chum, which is a blend of molasses, fish hydrolysate, liquid kelp, humic acids and nutrients. I use every other watering but only as a ph down. The recommended dose of 5ml per gallon drops my water ph way too low. It usually takes about .5-1ml per gallon for me to go from a ph of 8 to 6.5. Combined with Recharge and Mammoth P, my plants seem to love it. ☮️
All that is in happy frog
