well, what are you using M for?
if you want to give yr plant sugars then M's fine. there's supposed to be some Ca and Potash in there too.
if you want to feed the bacteria herd in yr soil ... yr chems will militate against this. you'll be giving with the one hand and taking with the other, so to speak.

I think the point is: Molasses is worth your time in regards to your herd. Molasses is not worth your time in regards to plant sugar levels. Yes, your plant can take it up. No, your plant will not benefit measurably.

howdy DWCC
how you do?
respect
am keen to think total to possible
such balance within cosmos....hehehe
one perspective am keen to think rather to at how possible
at how efficient
variance within plant variety similar within specimen
such to think most sugar to produce within plant leaf with respect to photosynthesis
such and such sucrose such and such
such to think with excessive sugar perhap photosynthesis to slow
indeed much conjecture within
indeed various organic soil microbe to thrive within similar sucrose such and such
bacteria form to being such and such enzyme to filter to such preference
at where to focus efficiency?
water off duck back....hehehe
if am to assume you name DWCC perhap you preference to aerate h2o
such to think you not preference to aerate molasses within synthetic feed
one perspective
with respect to specific cannabis research not much
similar with respect to various plant indeed analysis to research to illustrate sucrose uptake
perhap you enjoy such topic within link

thanks cleared things up a bit for me to. Ive just started a new grow and im trying Hempy style coco buckets with canna veg and flores. I was planning on using mollases during water in the last few weeks before chop as i was under the understanding that it imrpoved taste of buds.... Guess ive got this all wrong! guess it makes sense to use a chemical booster instead?
Give the plants nothing but plain water the final week before harvest. You'll get a cleaner burning product. It allows the plant to use the nutrients left in the medium and its leaves.
Molasses isn't actually for the plant itself, but the life in the soil.

GH makes sugar sweeteners for there chemical line, it comes in pineapple, blueberry and sugar. i have used it on one run and did not notice any difference. like marco said its all in the flush. i flush with flora kleen for the last 10 days of flower. i gave my friend my fire fly strain and they did it organically, used molasses and everything, and my chemically grown girls yields tastes and smells better. the difference i seen was she didn't yellow as bad in flower and a slightly different smell, not as strong but sweater. nothing ive had organically has made me wanna change.

There are several threads relating to using molasses, even a comparison grow which is a long but educational read.
My philosophy on the use of molasses is this - use it if you want to, or don't.
The benefits have been discussed ad nausea, as have the caveats, so it's up to the individual grower whether to experiment or not.
I've decided to add 1.5mL/L of molasses to the canna coco nutrient mixture (A&B/Rhizo/Zym/Booster/PK 13/14) starting flowering day 30 and ending day 44.
I may not known 100% if adding molasses is beneficial since I'm not doing a comparison grow using multiple cuts from the same mother, but I will/should know if it has any detrimental effects on appearance, odor, taste, and narcotic high/stone.
In about 16 weeks I'll know what's what from first hand experience and not something I heard through the grape vine...
To each their own... and may all find what they seek...

good read - thanks for that - i couldn't have said it better lol
Earth Juice Hi-Brix Molasses - still the best molasses if you asked me
Feeding your microbes molasses causes a quick microbe bloom followed by die-back, actually damaging your populations. Microbes benefit much more with the use of kelp meal, humic acid, and fish hydrolysate.
Furthermore, plants do not uptake sugars. They uptake carbohydrates. Molasses does contain low levels of carbs, but its myth that sugars or molasses sweeten the flavor of your flowers.
Molasses and sugars are great for flushing salts out of soil.
