I'm 4 weeks and 2 days into flower, I'm growing indoor inside a shed. I'm growing 4 plants and I'm using a 1000 watt HPS light, I have been feeding with fox farm nutrients since they were really little. They are 30 days into flower and I'm wondering if it's fine if I start to give it wholesome mollases (unsulphored of course). ?? I thought it would be a good idea as the next few weeks the buds will start to fatten up. Or does anyone have something better in mind I can try?

You sure that's 30 days of 12/12? Honestly, IMO, kind of small for 4 weeks, more like a 2nd week of 12/12.

I never use molasses unless you are trying to feed the microbes.

If you growing them properly ... Molasses is usually not needed. The simple sugars from it feeds the the microbes in the soil to keep them happy. Some use honey , coconut water , aloe Vera , unicorn piss and other " sweeteners ". Most of the off the shelf sweeteners for buds are no more than 2% molasses and some flavor so why screw with the terpene profile of your strain ?

Pretty much of it from manufacturers is straight bullshit , since grannies molasses is like $4 at market. Some growers do it ( mostly soil grows ) at around 1 tsp per gallon of water.

I'm a first time grower so idk if I'm doing it exactly right or properly, I have just heard that grandmas molasses can help with taste and yeild if you use it the last 5 weeks before harvest.

There are arguments on molasses all the time, some say yes some say no.
Is it a must use product to grow great buds? NO!
You have a nice looking grow going. Well done so far.
You are coming into the hardest part of growing, the 2nd half of flowering.
Do you want to add something that is argued on both sides as to whether it should be used.
What if you do use it and run into problems. Will the problem be molasses or something else. What kind of help will you get figuring out the problem if it is something else and you mention that you added molasses?
I wouldn't think it is a good idea on a good 1st grow IMO.

Thanks for the info, I have 4 plants, I've been giving them all fox farms and been giving two of them Big Buds as well, I will give 1 of my plants molasses and see if I notice any change to the 1 plant.

They do look kinda small for there age,But that may well just be a genetic trait.I feed Big Bud from Advanced in coco from week 2 till 4 ,then pk 13/14 from week 5 till week 6,along with the normal base nutrients

They have been in 12/12 for 7.5 weeks and started showing pistils/hairs about the 3rd week so id say their about 4 weeks into flower
