flushing is when you basically flod your plants to rid them of extra nutes.
its just giveing them so much water that they drain out the bottom most people give them 5time a normal watering
Molasses is just a cheap sub for bloom nutes gives them alot to help them finish.
sounds like you neeed to spend a few days if the FAQ so you actually know what your getting into

Flushing is a very simple process. After applying a couple of nutrient feedings you may begin to get a build up of toxic salts in your soil. Flushing is the process that will get these salts out of your soil. You will need a lot of pHd water to flush correctly. Add a great deal of water to the plant. Eventually you will see water come out the drainage holes. If it was necessary for you to flush this water will be very yellow and dirty looking. You now need to keep adding more water to the plant until the water coming out the drainage holes is looking much clearer. It takes approximately 2x the volume of the pot worth of water in order to flush properly. After the flush give your plants a chance to dry out thoroughly and then you want to water with a nutrient feed. The plant may droop at little for the first day after the flush. This is completely normal as you have drowned her roots severely. This why it is necessary to let her get fairly dry before water again. The plant should perk up again shortly after the flush and you should notice some robust and healthy looking new growth.
Flushing also occurs at the end of the growth cycle. The plant, and therefore your soon to be smoke, is full of nutrients from being fed all its life. For the last 7-14 days of the plants life you want to feed it nothing but water. This will cause the plant to use up all the remaining nutrients and will allow for a much cleaner smoke.
