One of my sons told me to put one tablespoon of blackstrap molasses per gallon in my veg water...another son said to put one teaspoon per gallon of flowering water...Which method is the correct one?

I use a tablespoon of blackstrap per gallon and at times have used 2 tablespoons per gallon of water without any ill effects on the plants. Blackstrap is a simple sugar/carb that can be easily digested or broken down by your plants.

yeah, i never measure any more, just dump a bunch in and eyeball to about 2TBS/gallon. i wouldnt doubt if i have hit 3 Tbs / gallon on occasion. never seen any problems other then swollen buds

I use 1 tablespoon per gallon through out the entire grow, every other watering

Use it during flowering

just now, during veg on some, and flowering on others, we got the info to use molasses. We are new growers (about 6 months)

We are using molasses now, midstream in our grow. One son says flowering room only. The other son says foliar spray on some special vegging plants...we have a couple of different methods being used in the same house.Then I have another son who handles his CO 2 project. It gets real interesting. Through it all, I am grateful for the help.
