Wow, interesting to find out about molasses as a plant nutrient. The Peter's plant food I'm using has what they call "Now with Minors!" which is Boron .02%, Copper .05%, Iron (chelated) .10%, Manganese (water soluble) .05%, Molybdenum .0005% and Zinc .05% plus 20-20-20 Nitrogen, Phosphoric acid and Potash. I think I will lose one Azoychka plant after all but the others hopefully are improved with this treatment, tonight was my second chance to water them with the fertilizer mix. I'll post some photos after a few days if there is noticeable improvement. Even with this slight set back, this years starts are my best ever. These plants are to start 4 weeks early in the Wall-O-Waters so we'll see how the next 40 + starts go which will be scheduled for a mid-May planting.
