molasses feed the microorganisms in your soil boosting their ability to turn organic materials into food for the root system to absorb...that's in a nutshell how it works ;)

What massah said. Feed the micro organisms, they in turn poop, and your plants eat. Also a good source of iron, magnesium, and calcium.
 
I have also read that it is possable to inject simple sugars into the phloem to give a plant bud building boost. I would be a skeptic of this, but I read it here: (botom of page 214) http://books.google.com/books?id=vWKMhfYryvUC&pg=PA214&lpg=PA214&dq=ed+rosenthal+inject+sugar&source=bl&ots=up0cmN9kXf&sig=yy-1TCpWlvpXvU3TtqVbbtjdlrE&hl=en&sa=X&ei=C9AdT9bAL6z_sQL3rNTLCw&ved=0CB4Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false
Ed Rosenthal isn't a newbie to this. When I began growing in 1989, Rosenthal's handbooks were widely regarded as the best around. His guides are backed up by lots of sited research. If I had read this from anyone else save a handfaull of others, I would have scoffed. However, it seems possible, however impractical.
