I do 3 tablespoons per 1 gallon of water. since i use a 3 gallon bucket for watering I use 9. I have never heard of hurting your plants with molasses. it might be possible, but be modest and you'll be fine.

everyone will say different. I think it does, but it could just be in my head. either way... molasses is cheap and easy. doesnt hurt the plants. the way I see it.... no harm no foul.

I would've done the molasses as soon as you hit the fourth week of bloom, if not sooner. During the flushing period, I would say to just flush without it. That's just me though, I feel that if I were to add molasses, then it wouldn't really be considered a flush.

i know what you mean alltho flushing is intended to flush out salts. not sugars. salts are what makes bud harsh
sugars are good! so alltho i am flushing i still use stuff in the soil.
for instance CANNAZYM
i use this while flushing

True, I've tried both methods though and the straight flushing always works better for me. Different things work for different people though, so go for it. Let us know how it goes.

my first grow when i still didn't know anything about growing I used MG. but I switched during flowering to a differen't soil. I dont think it matters what soil you put the molasses in since it has nothing to do with the soil, but with the water and the plant roots themselves.

the flush is to flush out salts, left over nutes, ect. molasses is not going to counteract any flushing done. in fact, they bottle similar things and sell it for 10x as much under a "nutrient" name. things like Technaflora's Sugar Daddy. or any other variant. nearly every nute company sells a version. Even FLAVORED versions of the sugar boost. thats all it is!

it doesnt matter when you do it after you begin the flower process. I use it most of the way through flowering, on every 3rd or 4th watering!

ya i agree soil is simply a medium to hold nutes if you compliment the soil properly you get lots of goodies
i think my biggest problem i had was cold weather.
if i could have held 70 i would have had a way bigger yield.
now i am looking to keep the soil flavor using hydro.
