Hey.. I missed this post! Hi Sublime! Hope you had a good Christmas.
The Black russian is all gone.. but it was really really nice! I like a variety so it was enjoyed with GWS, BlueBuddha and a bit of VB...We have a few br clones in veg now and they should hit flower around the end of Feb so a May harvest. (fingers crossed)Flower is pretty much empty! cept for a blockhead and A-11 that are gonna go sometime in the next few days. Gearing up for the reno!

Mmmm.........luv, luv, luv the Black Russian. She finishes mid september outdoors, delivers deep purple buds, can get 6-7 feet tall......just an all round easy strain to grow.
beware of substitutes though..... |

can't say enough about alfalfa and molasses as a staple for the nutes. Just makes sense to me to feed the ladies something we could eat too. Course I don't know who would eat alfalfa?
Once it ferments in the jug, it smells like a barn.Average yeild was a couple oz's per lady using a 2 gallon... we kept em short to accommodate our space. No beans of the original left here but we are working on bringing it back as close as we can.. (probably improved knowing my better half) There is sure getting to be some real nice purple crosses going on out there. BR is a real good base. |

Sometimes I can't resist answering questions meant for others
![]() Sucanat is a sugar, it would be beneficial to use the molasses in it's place to get the rest of the available micros, no? What is EWC? Executive Wall Concepts? LOL. Sorry bad short term maybe. Kelp is definitely beneficial to the plant through the roots. but to make all of it into a one shot wonder it would take breaking down the main ingredients to thier bases and work it back up, combining the pieces you want in the percentages you require. I can picture you sitting around in your underwear in front of your chemistry set ROFL (couldn't resist) Quote:

this is the point where I just nod and smile.. sometimes his enthusiasm just bubbles over
![]() I know nothing about hydro so for cycles and that ??? (would be an interesting read)...but molasses..hmmm...my thoughts.. BlackStrap Molasses.. available at any grocery store for under 2 dollars..so economically its got it made in the shade compared to something like Liquid Karma and that contains molasses, doesn't it? The 3lb have some great articles on the benefits of molasses and alfalfa. I found I couldn't burn a plant with molasses..its mild enough to use on newborns (not something I was real comfortable with but I seem to remember using it on first potting.. My female/male ratio SUCKS so I have come to the logical conclusion I am cursed so I avoid that first pot up. ) plus... you could make some really good ginger cookies.. |

Back in `06 I read something here about using molasses as plant food so I tried it. Works good for me, I usually use it as a tonic when they`re looking a bit stressed as they sometimes do when I put them under HPS.
I think you can often taste a little bit of it in the finished smoke- a touch of honey flavour... As an aside it`s also really nice on toast with butter.

I'd think a good starting point would be 1/2 cup alfalfa pellets per gallon of water plus 1 TBSP BS molasses dissolved in warm water per gallon...Bubble for 48 hours.
Are you thinking about going for a commercial tea mix or creating some magic on your own? |

Hey those plants came out cool! I have some freebie c4 x black russian seeds that I just threw in a bag to germ them. It's funny I didn't even know they turned purple, and I've had these freebies sitting around for about a year now and I finally googled "black russian" and i almost nutted my pants. I hope all ten of them sprout!
