I believe that the molasses and the sugar it contains targets the ever present mycelium that connects to the roots of the plants. That is why the molasses is diluted by water.
This should kick the mycelium into overdrive and provide more goodies for the plants.

When you add anything to soil – it will not target one type of organism over another. It simply spreads out in the soil, and if an organism is present that can use the nutrient – it does so. Fungi and bacteria will both make use of sugars.
I don’t see any logical connection between your idea of feeding the fungi and a reason for dilution?? It is diluted in order to make it seem like you are feeding a bigger area of soil.
Yes the fungi and bacteria and other organisms will be ‘kicked’ into over drive. But once the sugar is used up – the same microbes populations will crash. I don’t see that as being particularly good for the soil.
As far as “provide more goodies for the plants”, the mycorrhizal fungi usually get sugars from plants – not the otehr way around. Granted more fungi, might mean more nutrients delivered to plants – but again this is a short term thing which the sugar lasts.
So you use sugar to turbo the soil, the drop a few days later causes the plant to shock and flower harder if its don`t just up and die, adding aspirin increases the chance of it dying
Some strains are nice to hack down all fresh other strains I like more dead, also doing 50/50 when you have a room of clones all the same gives you a mix of more ripe buds and less ripe buds, some people like that older bud other people like the less ripe stuff
It`s good to know ways you can shift the colour and smells of your plants in a short time makes you able to vairey how it will taste and the high it`ll give you, also can shorten or lengthen the drying/curing process depending on what methods of finishing you use
most have a time and place where they`ll suit better
