Can I use unrefined Dark Muscovado cane sugar instead of molasses?

[Passthatshit69]

Local supermarket doesn't stock molasses can Unrefined dark Muscovado be used as an alternative?

Not wanting to make anything , I'm wanting to mix it with water for my final flush. I've read when growing organically it's a good thing to do lol

No need to use molasses
No need to flush

Plants create their own sugars to feed microbes.
And flushing doesn't do anything

I every now and then use blackstrap molasses (it's called black treacle here in the UK) during flowering but I wouldn't use it to do a flush. I only use it to feed the microherd in the soil, and I use a terra preta style soil which I reuse over and over (I've been using the same soil for a few years now).
Muscavado will work for feeding the microherd but its not anywhere as rich in minerals etc as molasses is.

Would you recommend I use it now , I'm currently at the beginning of week 5 flower

Yeah you might as well. I don't know how long you have left of flowering as different strains vary a lot in their amount of weeks flowering, but I'm guessing you have at least 3 weeks left if not more. I wouldn't use any more than a tablespoon to a gallon of water (obviously scale that down for less water used - 3 teaspoons make a tablespoon).
