From my reading on the forums most post say generally 1-2 tbsp per gallon. They say you can use grandma's and its works just the same as blackstrap. They also say it does help with making buds more dense. But really it shouldnt affect the final taste but thats my own opinion some here say it will. Anywho maybe these people Im speaking of will drop by to help you out but incase they dont thats pretty much what i have gathered from molasses feedings. Theres a good thread Ill post it once I find it.

Look at the grocery store too. They have it near the baking goods. Cheap.

The article Im trying to find is a very long thread and alot of people use the grandma's infact im using it myself at the moment. Blackstrap is really not sweet. I believe you could obtain this by boiling down the grandmas first but every thread I have read people are buying grandma's and its working fine. Infact one particular comment in this thread a guy did a comparison to grandma's and blackstrap his conclusion was buy wich ever is cheaper cause the results were the same. Damn I wish i could find this thing so i can go to bed.

i use this....

it says all natural

i use the blackstrap unsulpherated molasses and have been for the last 3months of veg organic outdoors and the plants love it and im sure during flowering it will help too. i saw a pic of two nuggs comparred with and without molasses and its %20 size diff. so ya it should help and its cheap why not. its got trace elemnts and small amounts on the NPK ratio

or instead of doing all this with molasses, you could get an additive like "VEGAN COMPOST TEA" which you can buy and will most likely contain molasses, and in the proper proportions with other essential minerals and nutrients to be added with your normal schedule

 

[dbo24242]

compost tea is overpriced. pick up some molasses and some sea kelp fertilizer if you're in soil, otherwise you need to introduce some high salt micro beasties to ur hydro.

not even compost tea, General Hydroponics has a product SPECIFICALLY for molasses and sugars. check it out on their page

you need to go to an holland and barrets

 

[BooMeR242]

the shit they sell at hydro stores saying its molasses and other nutes is over priced usually so check around i get a liter bottle for only $2.70

 

[irishboy]

the only thing that i dont understand is some say to use 1tbs every feeding and others say 1tsp every feeding. dont know witch on to use. i was think using 1tbs when flowering?

 

[RickWhite]

I'd be interested to know exactely what molasses is supposed to provide for the plant. I know some of the sugar products are designed to increase bud weight as sugar is quite dense.

molasses helps the micro bugs in the soil. blackstrap is used because of the way it's refined. search molasses and you see all the reasons it's used.
