Good for feeding bacteria.

Ive heard the research has been done and when used in the flowering shows around a 15%> growth on the buds. But other than it being beneficia for the bacteria I cant be for certian increased growth or yeild. Although I've been using it on my watermelons and my crop this year and its looking great.

In soil, if you have beneficials it is good for feeding those. It can also increase your chance of root rot if improperly or over used. There is enough information scattered around for you to make an informed descision based on your growing medium, style, and growing goals.
never heard of root rot thru using mollasis? lol
thats like sayin u can with canna a and b lol.
i use coco and my pals use soil both use mllasis and a spoonfull in every feed. no bother

In soil, yes I use it.
It provides sugar for the soil organisms, they in turn break it down to useable carbs for the plant as well as providing important trace minerals.
So it's a staple of my garden.
A little goes long way though, so don’t overuse.
I use 1 tsp per 5 litre every other feed in flower and I cease usage around two weeks before the chop.
I don't use in veg till after the fourth week, I like to keep things light feed wise in veg.

More fact than opinion but has molasses has few trace elements that has no real world value to plants but great for salesmen and feeding beneficial bacteria.

OK so.
Sugar is a source of carbon, the building block of all organic compounds.
Resin-producing plants need lots of carbon to produce resin containing cannabinoids, a class of aromatic compound (aromatic not simply meaning they are smelly, but that the molecules contain one or more carbon rings).
If Carbon is the limiting factor in how much resin a plant can produce (yes, I know it's strain dependent too, bear with me), how well does the addition of sugar actually work to optimize this process?
Are products such as Sweet effective? Are they more effective than watering with any of the 'grocery-store sugars'?

I used it once, I personally felt that it left the smoke tasting "altered" and much to heavy and strong. I may have used to much, but I don't think so.

Thats why I no longer use it. I used it once and it put an un-natural smell like tea leaves or something in the jars. I prefer weed to smell and taste like weed.
Never again, thats just me.
I use it twice during flower week 2 and one month later week 6 molasses is just like putting any carbohydrate nutrient into a plant. Only its cheaper and works exactly the same. gives the plant energy to fatten up buds and sweeten up a bit. I only use about 2 teaspoons per gallon. I never noticed any unpleasant taste seemed to make my buds a touch sweeter
