Pretty vague without knowing ANYTHING else about your grow. What kind of system are you running? Soil, nutes, anything would help.

Molasses is a good, quick source of energy for the various forms of microbes and soil life in a compost pile or good living soil.

In addition to sugars, molasses contains significant amounts of potash, sulfur, and a variety of micronutrients. Because molasses is derived from plants, and because the manufacturing processes that create it remove mostly sugars, the majority of the mineral nutrients that were contained in the original sugar cane or sugar beet are still present in molasses. This is a critical factor because a balanced supply of mineral nutrients is essential for those “beneficial beasties” to survive and thrive.

One final benefit molasses can provide to your garden is it’s ability to work as a chelating agent. Basically saying that molasses is one of those substances that can convert some chemical nutrients into a form that's easily available for the plants. Chelated minerals can be absorbed directly and remain available and stable in the soil.

I use it up to about 5-7 days from harvest, usually stop nutes about 2-3 weeks from harvest.

any body know where i can find black strap at? i can only find the grandmas brand at my store. would the grandma be the same its not black strap?

it may be that you are referring to what is called Black Draught down here. it's extremely concentrated and not very useable except in beer brewing , I think.

No, Grandma's is not the same, but will work! That is what I use because I can't find the black strap around here either!
