I was just wondering if anybody might be able to tell me how much Molasses to add per gallon of nutrient solution? I'll thank whoever can answer my question now by saying thank you sooooooo much and I hope I can return the favor sometime soon.

If im not mistaken, its 1 teaspoon per gallon. I would start with 1/2 rate and see how it goes. Medcnman.

Groovy bro. Thanks.

No prob! Advanced Nutrients "Bud Candy" and Botanicares "Sweet" are similar to using molasses. I use the "Sweet" myself. Let me know how the Molasses goes. I'm interested in the results. Medcnman.

Thanks Willy. With all the other answers and yours combined I think we have come to a consensus and settled on at least a half of a teaspoon and no more than one full teaspoon per gallon. Awesome you guys (and gals as it applies) I really appreciate the help. Without you my nugs wouldn't be dank and for that I salute you. You guys ROCK!!!!

I use Sucant a powder form of Molasses you cant get at the health food store I think it breaks down better makes for less clean up

molasses is usually used to feed micro organisms, present mostly in organic  gardens. Unfortunately the pure basal salts of store nutrients instantly kills most of the flora and micro beasties. Your plants don't uptake the sugar in molasses, but they do use the magnesium in it, to make their own sweets. I'd keep the kitchen pantry out of the garden personally, but if you must, try adding a quality magnesium supplement, like sweet?
