I tried it and found it useless as caused problems for little to no benefit...I go mostly chems with a lil natural so it may be diff for you but thats my experience

I've used it in my grows for the last 5 years. Excellent results. I will never grow without it again. I've found that nute deficiency issues disappear with the use of Molasses due to it's chelating ability. It feeds the soil with beneficial micronutrients and boosts your enzyme/good bacteria growth which is necessary to break down the nutes for your plant to use.

As I stated I use primarily CHEMS so if one were to use guanos etc that do require a herd to break them down then it may prove otherwise...But that is what I experienced in soiless using primarily chems

Molasses is more of an additive for organic soil grows,even though I believe it can be used in other mediums. It's used to feed the beneficial organisms in the soil mostly, but also adds some trace elements. I use an unsulfered blackstrap that has high levels of calcium and magnesium. I've never done side by sides with/without, I'd bet someone here has, but I've never seen any negative effects from it. I'm outdoors btw.
