Molasses is sugar and is mostly carbon, which the micro bacteria in your soil use as food to thrive and multiply. It also contains sulfur which act's as a natural fungicide.
I use it throughout the whole grow.

I don't post much at all but figured I'd throw this in: try using Wholesome Sweetners Organic Blackstrap Molasses. www.OrganicSyrups.biz Its unsulphered with each tbsp containing 10g of sugar, 730mg of Potassium (20%), 115mg of Calcium (10%), Iron (15%), Magnesium (8%), Vitamin B6 (10%) among a few other miniscule things.
(2 Tbsp=1 fl. oz) There are 128 fl oz in a gallon; so if you're unsure on how much to add, use that as a scale. I usually add 1 fl oz per gallon along with nutes; then adjust PH if necessary. My 2 cents.

Other than the multi-nutrient components that Molasses has, WAY beyond the basic NPK, I use it from birth (2 weeks old) to one week prior to harvest, for a number of reasons. Mostly to give the Microbial life a feeding frenzy, that assist in breaking down micro-nutes, so the roots can absorb them at a steady rate, as opposed to trying to shove a whole fish up the plant's ass at one time. Fire ants don't like the stuff, & mixed with liquid seaweed, (1 TBS Molasses & 2 TBS of Seaweed) sprayed on, will strenghten the plants stalks so much that Spider Mites can't chew into the Ladies. Do so every 7 to 10 days. Seaweed itself has 90 different compounds. Check out the Dirt Doctors Library, a Dot Com site. Look up Syntheic Ferts, also.
