Molasses doesn't feed the plant per say, it feeds the bacteria in the soil which in return feed the plant. You can lock out your plants by using it if you don't have plenty of living bacteria in the ground they are what will eat the sugars and excrement food for your plant at a tourible ph. This usually works good in big outdoor controlled grows that are using super soil, or just good soil full of organics and worm castings. I never add molasses directly to the soil, but rather in a tea where I'm growing beneficial bacteria then into the ground. (This is only how I do it) other successful growers probably have different methods.

100% correct!
I only add 1 teaspoon per gallon, not 1 teaspoon. I see others plants that are yellow because they are feeding to much molasses. Molasses is there to feed your microbeastie heard, not the plant.

You can give it every time you water and with nutes I myself have never had a bad experience with it just make sure you use the kind without sulfur and only use 1-2 tablespoons per gallon no more then that.
