Lots of debate on this question currently in the forums. Personally I use molasses on all my plants once a week from sprout or clone until harvested. I grow in organic soil and I use molasses more for the soil than the plant although I do see a small difference after each watering. I also use molasasses as a foliar spray about a 1/2 teaspoon per liter of water which the plants have seemed to enjoy the day after feeding. I will not as some say this adds weight to the buds or more trichs but as I said earlier the plants seem to react well to small doses. Here is one study on the benefits and the way plants use the extra sugars and carbs in the molasses.

I did a comparison test this year - one group of plants got molasses - the other didn´t.
Result - no difference between the two groups whatever. IMHO molasses is another Old Wives´Tale - don´t waste your time and money on it.
Funny, several years ago molasses was never mentioned on MJ forums - now you read about it everywhere - the molasses myth is clearly a recent invention.

Were those organic grows or did you use chemical nutrients that you used for this comparison?

Organic soil for all - soil recycled through my composter - rich dark humus with loads of good bacteria.
All plants got the same organic liquid ferts - one group got plain water instead of molasses.

Funny, because if you punch in 'Molasses and gardening' into ANY search engine it will take you to thousands of sites that go back years for proof.

What do you mean by ´living´ soil?
I think my soil is as good as any, loads of humic acid and good bacteria, and I get yields certainly as good as most. I just find from my own experience that adding what is basically SUGAR to your soil is no use at all. It does not increase what is already a good yield.
Some people just cannot accept that others find that their dearly held beliefs are WRONG.
