steroids for your soil microbes. more like a sugar high though.

The fungi and bacteria that are generally living in the plants rhizosphere use carbs in order to convert organic compounds into inorganic ions. The molasses tends to give this "microherd" a supercharge allow them to convert more organic compounds for the plant to utilise.
Too much molasses though can hinder the uptake of nitrogen and throw your pH way off.

^^^ Yup what jondamon said.
I use it with success at 5 weeks flowering until harvest.

Doesnt the molasses have to contain sulfer? Also, how much do you use?

no sulfer ! very bad for taste, they have it with out , guys flush that molasses out before you harvest, there is sugar in it and it will make you choke bad, and it will not super charge the bud just make it look more sugry when it done that is a good thing, want to super charge then super crop, works very well

I use a tbs. per gal of water every third watering.
No flush is necessary and molasses has no affect on the taste of the bud. If it did, I would add both molasses and scotch.
Poor drying and curing is what probably causes most inferior smokes.
But that's another thread and topic.

Botanicare Strapped, Works great and the microbes love it, not the plants. The plants love that the microbes and such love it. I still don't understand why people think this stuff is for the plants in some way. I've heard people say all kinds of stuff like it makes my buds so sweet, and makes the smoke so much yummier. plants need sulfur btw and it flushes very easily when you do your final flush at end of flowering.

I grow organically too. Here is the thread if you want to sub. https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/654674-im-ready-blue-og-white.html
You will see some pics of my last grow on that thread above. No cropping or trimming at all on those plants. This time I will be LST-ing, maybe main-lining because of the longer veg time and larger containers. Good luck!

If you pinch your stalk and stems without crushing them, I can't stress that enough don't crush. You can get really good strong plants. Pinch and twist and work them bending them. Then just leave them bent over to pick themselves up. Treat them like a rented hooker and bend her over and work her ass. She'll be strong as hell before you know it. This can stress them but if you have s stable environment, as in no heat spikes and your not overwatering and such they'll be fine. I like this more than opening up the fibers on the inside of the stalk to the environment when you supercrop. Supercropping works really well and the plants will actually respond and grow faster when supercropping, but I'm not worried about time schedules I want strong healthy plants no matter what. Hope this helps out.

I have found using molasses can tighten and harden the buds in the final weeks.
Remember there are micro-nutes and calcium supplements in it as well. The plant can also absorb minor amounts of basic sugars allowing the plant easy energy.
It in no way is steroids (Co2 is the steroids) This is simply a little extra touch or love.

Thats ambient co2 in the 350 range.
I mean increasing co2 to 1000-1200 could increase yields up to 30%. Only steroids for plants I know of. You wont find that in any type of additive or booster.
