Question about molasses??

So, I have been wondering, I'm struggling to understand which mollases to use? Okay.. I know blackstrap is the best, so this is where I complicate things, what are your opinions on using tate and lyle black treacle?, I know it has many nearly all of the required nutrients to feed the soil, but with it being a bi product of refining sugar is it reliable for my garden? Also read this can replace my monster boost or bud candy? Thanks in advance..... Peace out ✌

first, as ISK said, you'll get better results by not being a dick.
Also, molasses used as a nutrient isn't advisable, BSM can lock out nutrients by having potassium toxicity, don't ask me how I know.
Monster bud or bud candy are gimmicks and not needed.
The reason people didn't answer your question is because it's often brought up, not because we are "ignorant fuckers"
In my opinion BSM is an awesome product to use, but if you go at it as a nutrient, you'll be sorry.

Molasses is not used as a nutrient, it is used to dissolve the salts that build up. Sugar helps salt dissolve. This will let the plant use what it needs and wash away what it doesn't. Feed them what they need, use amendments to allow them to thrive.
 
Sorry I didn't mean to cause any offence....strictly banter, so should I leave molasses out altogether? And are all Bloom boosters useless?

Some of us do have other things we are doing besides sitting around waiting to answer your questions that have been discusses dozens of times.

That being said, re-read what I wrote. Add 1/2 to 1 tsp of molasses per gallon and give it to them every time you feed them. Try it out. You tell me if you like it. Between liquid seaweed and molasses, my ganja is sweet and delicious.

i use a tsp a gallon every water..u think i should lay off for a few weeks?? i quit using it until im sure what is wrong with them
I don't know your tea process. I use a 30 gal tote with a water pump and air pump with airstone, I first add molasses about 5 tbsp and let it circulate for a while then a little phos guano a little nitro guano then a bunch of castings letting it bubble up for 48 hours. I do it every 4th or 5th water.
