Grow More® Garden Molasses — 32 oz (1 qt)

Carbohydrate-Rich Garden Molasses with Yucca Extract to Feed Soil Biology and Boost Plant Vigor

Grow More® Garden Molasses is a premium source of plant nutrients and carbohydrates formulated specifically for indoor and outdoor growing environments. Enriched with Yucca Extract for improved soil penetration and plant uptake, Garden Molasses delivers the natural sugars and trace minerals that feed beneficial soil microorganisms, enhance root zone biology, and improve overall plant health and vigor. Non-burning, safe for use on all crops including flowers, fruits, and vegetables, and fully compatible with other fertilizers and compost tea brewing programs.

Key Features & Benefits

• Natural Source of Plant Sugars: Molasses is one of the richest natural sources of simple carbohydrates (sucrose, glucose, fructose) that serve as a direct food source for beneficial soil bacteria and fungi, driving the biological activity that underpins a healthy, productive root zone.
• Yucca Extract: Natural Yucca saponins act as a wetting and penetrating agent, improving water and nutrient movement through growing media and enhancing the distribution of carbohydrates to the microbial communities throughout the root zone.
• Feeds Beneficial Soil Microbes: The carbohydrate load in Garden Molasses provides a rapid energy source for the beneficial bacteria and fungi that cycle nutrients, produce plant growth hormones, and protect roots from pathogens.
• Non-Burning Formula: Safe to apply directly to all plants including sensitive flower crops, fruiting plants, and vegetables without risk of fertilizer burn.
• Compatible with Fertilizers and Compost Teas: Can be used alongside any fertilizer program as a biological supplement and is an excellent carbohydrate source for active aerated compost tea (AACT) brewing.
• Improves Plant Health and Vigor: The combination of carbohydrate availability for soil biology, Yucca penetrant activity, and trace mineral content in molasses supports measurable improvements in plant vitality and stress resilience over time.

Who Should Use This

Garden Molasses is an ideal biological supplement for organic gardeners, living soil practitioners, compost tea brewers, and indoor cultivators who want to support and stimulate the microbial communities that drive root zone health and nutrient availability. It is particularly valuable in soil-based and soilless container growing environments where the biological community may need regular carbohydrate inputs to maintain peak activity.

Compatibility

Add Garden Molasses to your nutrient reservoir, watering can, or compost tea brewer at the recommended rate. Compatible with all fertilizer types and can be used at every watering as a low-dose biological support product, or at higher doses for periodic intensive biological stimulation. Pairs naturally with other biological inputs including mycorrhizal inoculants, beneficial bacteria, and humic and fulvic acid supplements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does molasses benefit plants when applied to the root zone?

Molasses does not directly feed plants in the same way a fertilizer does — its primary benefit is as a microbial food source. By feeding beneficial bacteria and fungi in the root zone, molasses promotes the biological activity that mineralizes organic nutrients, produces plant growth hormones, suppresses pathogenic organisms, and improves soil structure over time. The result is a more biologically active, productive growing environment that benefits plants indirectly but profoundly.

What type of molasses is in this product?

Grow More Garden Molasses is a formulated product designed specifically for plant and garden use, with added Yucca Extract for improved penetration. It provides the carbohydrate and trace mineral content of molasses in a convenient, consistent liquid form optimized for garden and growing system applications.

Can I use Garden Molasses in hydroponic systems?

Garden Molasses is best suited for soil-based, soilless, and compost tea applications where its carbohydrates feed soil biology. In recirculating hydroponic systems without a significant biological component, the sugar content can potentially fuel unwanted bacterial or algae growth in the reservoir. If used in hydroponic systems, pair with an enzyme cleaner to manage any organic residue.

How much Garden Molasses should I use per gallon?

Application rates vary by intended use. For regular maintenance feeding of soil biology, a small amount per gallon at every watering is sufficient. For compost tea brewing or intensive biological stimulation, higher rates may be used. Always refer to the product label for specific dosing recommendations and adjust based on the biological response you observe.

When is the best time in the growth cycle to use Garden Molasses?

Garden Molasses can be used throughout the entire growing cycle to maintain soil biological activity. Many growers find it particularly beneficial during the middle and late flowering phases when biological support for nutrient uptake and stress resilience is most valuable. It can also be used during the final flush phase to support the biological processes that improve product quality at harvest.
