Cal Mag/ Carbo Load Homeade Recipe

[Bodyne]

1 tbs blackstrap molasses
6 tbs epsom salt
1tsp per gallon every watering, have done up to 2 tsp. Shake well.

Basically a capful per gallon if using a milk jug, every watering start of flower till flush. I have used this last two rounds with great success. More frost, plants seem to uptake this better than say calmag or sweet/carboload. Taste at harvest with small cure, exemplary. JME Also, I used the liquid blackstrap but have found some powdered blackstrap on amazon that I may try also.

would you happen to have em1, and bokashi recipes?

if you do I may see about trying to make a thread inside the organics thread, just for all the different recipe's so one day they won't be buried!

[Green_256]

@quiescent was talking about getting dried molasses at the farm feed store. Prolly a lot cheaper than amazons.

 

[Bodyne]

$6 for a lb and you use teaspoons, lol, pretty cheap

shipping is a lil tap to the nutsack

 

[quiescent]

It doesn't make sense for some folks to have a 50lb bag of the stuff which I totally understand. I pay $20 or less for 50lbs.

I use cups to top dress a couple times during flower so I can go through it.

 

[Bodyne]

I was pretty sure you were needing more than me, lol, after I got to thinkin bout it. Seen ya mention room size, etc,

 

[Green_256]

hey bodyne, once the governer has more time I did already ask to make a recipe section in the organic thread! I'm sure over the next few weeks we can get that handled! for now tho, just leave it here!

 

[badmofo529]

Ive been using this since I saw you post it on riu. I use it through veg and flower to supplement mag with megacrop. Ive been using 1-2tbps per gallon and it works great.

 

[Bodyne]

took me a round to figure out to use it like you thru veg too, not just flower which is what I first thought. I too think it works good. Thanks maing.

This is different from the homemade sweet we made eh? I can't remember if I used molasses in mine lol. Damned memory!
wait....I think I did, it has that blackstrap molasses tea tinge to it.

yea, if its dark at all, you added the blackstrap to it. I seen a guy from parts unknown claim it works also and he feeds up to 2 tbls thru veg and flower, I just been doing it thru flower, Im a try next time to do it every watering. I can' already tell though, tween it and the MegaCrop, I got sturdier, heartier branches, no hollow stems that you sometimes get, best lookin flowering plants with no yellow leaves and perfect healthy green. I just can't get over how the lil led im usin in my tent pulls the frost off the plant more than the HID?HPS. Also been pruning the extra long roots when transplanting and that's helping with size and health also it seems once they kick back in. I was also thinkin of just mixing the measurement of epsom salts by itself, so basically thru veg it would be cal mag, then in flower add the blackstrap and have homeade sweet too, but I don't want to mess with something thats workin for me, lol

Are you diluting/mixing the molasses and epsom in water and then adding a tsp per gallon? Just clarifying

@Bodyne was interested in this but had the same question

 

[badmofo529]

Yeah put both in a solo cup or something and dissolve in hot water, pour that into a gallon jug and top off with water and give it a shake

I make it by the gallon. fill half a gallon milk jug up with not hot, cold or cool water, add 6-7 tbs of epsom salts, 1-1.5 tbs blackstrap. Shake the shit out of it for a min. Fill the jug up the rest way with water. Shake some more. Keep the lid, that stuff gets loud after awhile. There is calcium in the blackstrap. I just bought the powdered or granulated I posted above, and it mixes way easier than even the liquid. I just made a new batch yesterday. I also water throughout with this stuff, not just flowering. Ain't had a yeller leaf yet. That with URB and Megacrop is giving me the best plants Ive ever grown, even with heat issues presently. jme Oh, I put 1 tbs or so in each gallon of food I give the plants.

thank you very much. if you dont mind sharing, which epsom salt are you using

 

[Bodyne]

plain, all natural epsom salts, magnesium sulfate

 

[Old ST1R]

I made a solution of 1/4 cup molasses, 1/4 cup water and two tablespoons epsom salt in a small mason jar and shook the shit out of it until the salt was dissolved. The fuckin shit smells caustic.

I’ve been using 5 milliliters per gallon with other nutes every other watering (I’m in organic soil). Hasn’t killed ‘me yet.

 

[badmofo529]

I'm getting close to mixing some more up, I'm thinking about going closer to 7-8 tbps of epsom salts. My deputy is a mag whore, seems like I'm almost always fighting a mag deficiency.
