Molasses has absolutely no direct effect on the plant itself, it is purely an outdated hippy myth from the 1960s. You are much better off giving humic acid or fulvic acid or amino acids, or best of all, all three, these will actually benefit your plant immensely. The idea of giving sugar to make sugar (trichomes) is botanically and chemically impossible. Sugar is water based and trichomes are oil based. Besides, trichome production is genetically linked and a plant can not produce more trichomes than its genetic program dictates. All we as growers can do is guide a plant through life and provide optimal conditions and prime plant health so that the plant can express its genetic potential to the fullest. There are no magic tricks/potions/elixirs that can turn an average plant into a super plant - it is all down to genetics and plant health, nothing more, nothing less. Adding some mychorrihzae, even at this late stage will do 10,000 times more good than any sugar water/molasses. Hope this helps, Organoman.

All taste changes are absolute Myth !!! It feeds soil and microbiology. I used it , till started to notice pH swings in soil after applying it. So how pricey BioBizz Bio Heaven wouldn't be, I use it and avoid molasses in my grows. All the Best !

Your plant looks great! Molasses is pretty good stuff when it comes to cannabis, it sweetens the buds, gives more sugars for the plant and soil to feed on, and provides loads of micronutrients that can be tricky to introduce with other products. Feed once a week in flower, can be used less often in veg. Make sure you get the organic stuff which contains no salt or additives!🌱👍

If you are wanting to use molasses as a booster in the plant aim to use it once a week or once every two weeks in the watering system Remember it will lower the PH of the water a bit and it should be used aorund 5-15ml/Gal of water. or 1-5ml/L I like to go for smaller amounts. Till the plants real big and has a big pot. Only water the soil with this solution, not the leaves. keep an eye on your EC and ensure it is not out of wack if that's your style of growing. Best Of Luck

Molasses is for feeding beneficial bacteria in soil. So it's for the root zone. It really does nothing for taste.
