Directions for use:
When feeding molasses, it is recommended to start with lower dosages first.
E.g. 4–5ml of molasses per liter of water.
You can increase this dosage rate when your plants start fruiting or flowering.
The risk for overfeeding with molasses is considerably lower than with mineral nutrients, but it is smart to observe your plants for any signs of stress or nutrient burn, in particular if you add molasses to an existing feeding regimen.
If you’re adding molasses to your existing feeding regimen, you should also keep an eye on your soil’s pH level, since any additional substance can affect it. Make sure you check your runoff pH frequently.
