Fert question!

K, so my plant is more then 3 weeks in to flowering now. I am growing it using only an agro lite until I can pick up more light extensions to plug in some CFLs. Anyway, I used ultra bloom 15-30-15 in its first week of flowering; the plant had not taken in any ferts up until then. So after the 4L jug was all used up I switched to just regular water for the second 4L of watering’s. I water once every 3-5 days depending on how my plant looks. It is very healthy right now, slow growth but that will pick up once I get some more lights in there.

Anyway to my question, I heard molasses increases bud growth, I just happened to pick some up at the store (Blackstrap Molasses). About how much should I add to a 4L water jug for my plant? Also, should I continue watering with ultra bloom all the way through till the last two weeks? Or should I use a different water cycle? AND... Can I use the molasses and ultra bloom at the same time?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Is no one going to help me =/, it's a simple grow. I started with three plants, one was male and the other was hermie. Which I belived was because of the light being on 24/7 and stressing the plant out. So now I'm left with one plant. I am not looking for a big yeild and it's just for educational purposes. Which also includes testing the product.

we'll my buds are pretty fat. The molasses makes the soil smell like ass. I think I am going to flush soon, I've got a fan running in there now so theres airflow. I would say the molasses have worked.
