today i started an experiment, i was going to use molasses in the AG but i learned honey can do wonders too so im going to try dissolving a little bit of honey in a gallon jug full of water then using that water and mixing it with my RO to see if the additional sugars will help the plants....let the good times roll!!!!!  |

So went through that at least 1 gallon and flowers seem to be really happy so i think i may keep that up...but as i was cleaning out some of my gardening stuff i completely forgot i was sent a couple sample bottles of "Plant Catalyst" which is suppose to help you cut back on the amount of food and grow stronger plants so i think im going to test that out..... I can't vouch for them, i heard about them from a past boss and completely forgot i had the samples so i figured why not give it a shot.

Ooh, honey and magic plant potion! Those are lucky flowers! i usually make my own plant potions but since this was already done i see no reason to not at least try it  . If you want a really good book for creating stuff like that the book "Garden Alchemy" by Stephanie Rose, it has a bunch of really good stuff you can use in the garden. |

I have read that molasses can help the plants absorb nutrients like potassium and magnesium more easily. But your not supposed to add it until the change over to flowering stage. Good luck.

you are correct! molasses is the most used you can also use honey and milk! but molasses is a old school trick and one of my old reliable!
you also got to be careful which kind of molasses you use, i use blackstrap unsulphured molasses (Briar Rabbit for the exact brand)
