Hi there
@Rusticbuds,
I agree with
@GreenMachine, plant looks great. I wouldn't use Molasses, but bud candy or another sugar (I use botanicare sweet raw) will generally help buds out but is used primarily to improve sweetness and taste. I think it improves trichome production a bit too. Another feed I use by botanicare is hydroplex which is designed to ripen denser and fatter buds. Molasses would probably not absorb into your plant, as you said might be better suited to feed microbes in an organic grow. Bud candy and sweet raw will give the plant sugars it can use, and to my understanding the plants use the sugars as an easy energy source and store the excess energy (sugars) in their buds which leads to a sweeter taste and fatter or denser buds.
