Molasses Foliar Feed?

Can you foliar feed with molasses? Wouldn't it be more efficient than watering with it? Thanks in advance.kiss-ass

That would not be a good idea even if you mixed it with warm water eventually it could harden up in your ambient room temperature. It would be like mixing tanglefoot in warm water and spraying it on foliage. That is why molasses not unless it is processed correctly is specific for soils. There are molasses products that have been tried and verified that it can be used in hydropoincs as well.
