does anyone know

anyone know if you can substitute honey for molasses? are sugars even necessary?

Not necessary, but to compliment the taste and smell as well as speed up the plants metabolism.

However, a precursory search of this very forum would have provided you with that information:

I didn't read the link......but I'm guessing if honey was as good as molasses, we'd be using it already.

I use honey for clones and get near 100% success rates with it. For growing In soil I haven't used either since I mainly grow hydroponically.
