Go to your local grocery store. If you're using synthetic chemicals to feed then don't bother

Molasses is more for feeding the soil in your grow, keeping the soil alive and happy. Otherwise you can get some benefits from using it as a foliar spray. What you have brandwise I reckon is fine, if you have a feed store in your area and get fed grade molasses you can more than likely get a gallon for the price of one bottle in the grocery store.

If your open to opinions I'd forget the idea altogether. Molasses leaves an unnatural smell and taste to your smoke. I used it one time and I thought it was just awful. Even the jars smelled like it. I prefer the natural smell and taste of a good MJ strain.
But thats just me.

As long as it is Unsulphured it's fine.
Grandma's, Roddenberry's, found at the grocery store, sometimes generic store brand can be found also.

Try Wholesome Organic Molasses. It is unsulphured blackstrap molasses. When you compare the nutrition facts with other molasses like Grandma's, you will see why!

You should be able to find it in the grocery store. Many hydro stores carry this exact molasses as well.

Wow! Thanks Bakatare666. Finally a answer to the question asked. I was getting irritated at the other responses.

Do not use Grandma's molasses. Wholesome Organic is maybe $0.20 more and its wayyyy better. Not all molasses is the same. Not all unsulphured black molasses are the same. READ THE NUTRITION FACTS.
