Molasses in the last 2-3 weeks after none the first 5?

So I've been giving my baby bloom nutes for the first 5 weeks. Wondering if it would help at all to start molasses as well as the nutes would be that beneficial in the last 2 or possibly 3 weeks? Secondly, when I'm flushing should it be just plain water, as I believe, or is it better to use molasses in the water as well?

Lots of people recommend it the 2nd half of flowering to help fatten up the buds.
Personally haven't tried it yet but this grow I plan on it. Purchased some Grandmas Unsulfered to add in soon. Personally I'm going to introduce it 1/2 through flower up to whatever PPM the plants will tolerate and then dilute everything down to about 100-200ppm(bloom & molasses) 2 weeks before harvest then 1 week with just plain RO water before I chop.

I'd love to hear some responses from people who have success with it or have nailed down a molasses schedule that seems to benefit them.

Anyone have a fair amount of experience using molasses with good results?
When did you guys introduce it if so?

I use it in bloom stage, start to finish. Nothing in the last two weeks. I use soil. I use blackstrap from the health food store. I have seen a fair improvement over bud size. You wont get the same affect from one dose as opposed two many. I suggest using it every feeding for at least a few weeks in bloom. Better results later in bloom but the effects are noticeable throughout bloom. Your root zone really comes to life as your feeding beneficial and bad bacteria in the root zone. Just keep an eye on your root zone during use. good luck guys.
