I've heard a few ppl say they give there plants sugar to feed and improve there buds. What I'd like to know is what type of sugar? how much? and how often?. Thanks alot.
get some blackstrap mollassas at your local grocery store (often in small cardboard containers), and add a tablespoon or so to every watering during flower. however, avoid adding too much, as it will sit in the soil and attract tons of bugs
Thanks k-bar yep never a good idea to attrack bugs near ya buds so dont like the sounds of that. Is there anything else that does the same thing i can use?. Plants already on the old pk ferts.
This reminds of an old pro grower that tought me how. He would dilute coca cola with water in a spray bottle!>O His reasoning was that when sprayed on the leaves the Co2 in the coke was beneficial, sugar not only fed but killed bugs by sticking them to the leaves!>D I tried it once but didn't like the icky stickiness of the process, he grew great mj but some of his methods were weird!>)
Some ppl are just so naturally good at growing they could feed there plants BLEACH and still pull off the best smoke you've ever had in your life lol.
^still unadvisable to use bleach though use mollasas as a fertilizer additive mainly, although an infrequent misting of heavily diluted molassas may be useful
yup it was my first attempt at growing, and unfortunately died of overwatering about 2-3 weeks into flowering. it spent a good 2 months vegging in that window.
Aww ya always remember ya first k-bar. Thanks guys but i went with a formulated tomato plant food 4-4-12 for a last stage food was thinking it would contain all the vital sugars seems to be working just nicely although really yellowing up my bottom leafs.
jedite83 i did.nt go with it and never used it before but its an additive for blooming but would say only use it when blooming is well under way along side ya normal bloom foods.
You can use blackstrap molasses all through vegging and flowering, I even use it with seedlings, put it in a tea though.. dont just throw it on top of your soil lol. make sure it says blackstrap.. It contains potassium, calcium, iron, sugars, etc
