This was a pretty cool post and very cool experiment. There is no doubt that the 1st bud is HUGE. But I'm surprised no one mentioned that the 2 seeds used were likely of 2 different phenotypes, like 2 brothers, they will each have their own characteristics, size, smell etc.. So while molasses is still awesome, in order to really test this theory you'd have to use to 2 clones.
I too am a believer in the power of molasses. But I don't think it should be expected to be a miracle worker. If it always worked like it seems to work in this post, stores would be sold out of molasses from CA to NY!!
