I had read somewhere that molasses provides calcium and I always put gypsum in my soil. Which adds calcium but is slow release. Oh and perlite was supposed to give me calcium as well 
I was wrongly thinking they would have enough Ca++
Wrong I was so they suffered a calcium deficiency. That’s how I learn best @BigDaddyCain …by f’ing things up 
they are recovering but still getting some leaves showing me they still needed it for now, especially GSCX
Gold leaf

This where dwc would have helped me out. If I was in DWC I would have had it added all along. And I wouldn’t have had to foliar spray when I did either. Plus I wouldn’t have to worry about to much calcium build up locking out other nutes in soil. I definitely see the many many advantages of hydro. Oh hey big daddy, look what I got for Christmas
It’s definitely giving me the hydro bug 
thanks for stopping in @BigDaddyCain how’s your big girls this week? I’m looking forward to your update and pictures

I like supplementing with organic blackstrap molasses during flower to feed the microbial herd and make nutrients available in soil. I only do it maybe 2 or 3 times.
@GreenJewels looking fantastic

Thanks @Big123
They definitely aren’t as healthy as the gorgeous girls you grow. I will keep growing and learning and growing and learning. This photo grow has taught me a lot. Next I’m going to grow 2 or 3 autos. Sometime in March, I’ll start a couple more photos. I don’t think I’ll grow any outside this year. The humidity runs to high in Ohio so it never ends well for me. I’m happy to grow inside.

In the past I did some reading on adding molasses but never used it then. At that time I used FF nutes only. I didn’t add it because bembe’ already contains it. Currently I’m using Greenleaf nutes. I did give them a dose of FF microbe brew and comeback on Jan 1 for the microbe goodies.
Prior to that I added the molasses with the above qoute in mind. I won’t count on it to replace cal mag again but I’m wondering if anyone has any good educational articles on molasses, i would love to read them.
So today they need some water. On my auto girls I rotated feed, water, feed unless I saw a need for feed, feed, water like an extra hungry girl.
On 1/1 problems started showing. I flushed and fed Greenleaf schedule (megacrop, sweet candy and bud explosion) along with the FF microbrew and comeback at 1000 ppm in
They looked worse with calcium deficiency showing on her leaves so I gave them the foliar cal mag on 1/2
On 1/4 I watered with cal mag at 460 PPM’s
Run offs
GL pH 6.7 500ppm
GSCX pH 6.6 500ppm
1/8 fed 1200 ppm at 6.5
Run offs
GL 6.5 1000ppm
GSCX. pH 6.6 1380 ppm
On 1/12 another dose of cal mag at pH 6.5 430ppm
Run offs
GL pH 6.8 800ppm
GSCX PH 6.7 1000ppm
Here we are today. Doesn’t look like they are eating much
So instead of the feed I would normally give I’m wondering if a good tea would be in order
Unfortunately I used up all my good compost in the 
gardens so I have no mature compost other than just leaf compost.
But just look at this beautiful dirt in my flower beds
Im wondering if I can mix xteme gardening Mykos WP and molasses to my water for the today’s watering? Instead of feeding them, since it looks like they aren’t eating much

Oh hey wanna see the girls
And is this what K deficiency looks like?
Thanks for taking a look
I’ll get more pics later when I figure out my action plan for today first on the list, smoke session with myself and playing some tunes for the girls

The mykos and mole ass is exactly what i do on watering days. I use recharge but they are basically both microbe herd booster shots. And the mole ass is extra feed for them.
The web basically works like
Microbes eat mole ass (hehe)
They help the exchange of nutes to roots become more… efficient? Organic? Something like that…
Microbes die and become more food for more microbes. (N roots)
Somewhere around here are some actual science articles… but pothead brain and… what was i saying?
