yes I know of it, and have been doing it for the last 2 waterings and have come to find out that this shit really does add some good fucking weight!!!
(black strap mollassas) almost a little too much weight

b4 none of my colas weighed so much that they just simply pull the whole plat to its sides but, now about a week later, Ive got 2 trees falling over and on the rest.... even the mini buds are just falling over!!

heres a couple of pics of the little buds... my phone doesnt do to well w/ the HID lights so I couldnt get a pic of the "falling over" plants, but trust me

Mollassas+water+weed=heavy weed

Good to know, Graf. I'm still in veg state and used molasses the last watering (along with Superthrive). Other than a couple burnt leaves from my lights here and there, the plants still look generally healthy. In fact, I am seeing tons of new growth all over the plants.

What kind of lights are you under?

Nice looking colas there! I read where introducing molasses after the 4th week can actually help the plant. I'm monitoring the babies closely, so if I see any adverse reactions, I'll discontinue.

MaryJane, about a tablespoon should do it nicely.

clay, do you have any links or info on exactly what happens by adding molasses? seems to me if it is just because you are adding a thick natural syrup, why couldn't you use pure maple syrup, or honey, etc ?

Yeah dude, you got to be careful on this one, as the nutrient suppliers are hip to molasses too. It is not uncommon for a supplier to add molasses and charge you 4x the price for it, sure it'll work but at what price? Also some of the suppliers are using further refined products, which is not as good as real blackstrap molasses. Molasses is around $4.00

As an example: Ingredients: Glucose, Xylose, Aribinose, Maltose. The product that has these ingrediants is $12.00, I think it's the carbo-load that you mentioned. There's nothing so wholesome as Grandma's Molasses. lol

Grandmas molasses:
Highest grade, pure molasses available
100% pure, natural sugarcane juices, clarified, reduced, and blended to get just the right color and consistency (no sugar removed)
Slightly sweeter and lighter in color
Unsulphured – contains no additives
Organic
Fat-free
Kosher Certified
Available in 12oz. and 24oz. jars as well as 1 gallon and 5 gallon foodservice jugs

Is that better then using something like "sweet" or "carbo-load"? I guess they would do the same thing.

Yes, it must be CANE sugar, which molasses is, and Blackstrap Molasses is the pure kind.

You can use cane sugar, and citric acid together, and those are the main ingredients in Sweet.
