molasses = bacteria in yer roots = root rot = dead plants
That's just stupid, where did you ever get the idea that it was bad? I used Mollasses on my plant through flowering stages, and its fine, you're just insinuating your opinions, look at that inferior post count as well. :roll:

But you do want either Mild, or Blackstrap, I heard they work better than ordinary Mollasses.

Wikipedia: Sulphured molasses is made from young green sugar cane and is treated with sulphur dioxide, which acts as a preservative, during the sugar extraction process. Unsulphured molasses is made from mature sugar cane and does not require treatment with sulphur during the extraction process. There are three grades of molasses, Mild or first molasses, Dark or second molasses, and Blackstrap. These grades may be sulphured or unsulphured.

I will also suggest that watering in the beginning weeks of flowering, sometimes even Vegetation, to use 1tbsp or less depending on the size of the pot, and how much water you're giving it.

I'm not sure of the metric conversion but its 1 tablespoon of unsulphured molassas per gallon of unchlorinated water

I use molassas with my plain watering feed schedule. I feed molassas water once every two weeks...there abouts. 1 Tablespoon per gallon of water. I heat up about 1 qt of the water with the molassas (to get it mixed up well) then pour it back into the gallon jug and shake like hell.
