I have some date molasses which is 100% pure lying...

Using molasses is a good way of feeding your beneficial microbes in your soil and add some beneficial amino acids and nutrients to your plants. You can use it as long as it's unsuphured molasses. Some regular molasses brands use sulfur dioxide as a preservative and this cannot be used on your plant. If in doubt try a health food store and pick up some organic black strap molasses which is the best. In terms of attracting insects unless you have problems with ants in your house you sholdn't gave an issue if it is just added to the soil then clean out the drain pan. Usually once a week @ 1 tablespoon per gallon of water works well. Some growers will increase the dose to 2 Tablespoons per gallon depending if the plant responds well to it. Heat up a cup of water in the microwave then dissolve it in the warm water then add to the rest of the water. Molasses acidic so check the ph of the solution. Good luck hope this helps.
