molasses is a byproduct from refining sugar. sugar in the raw has the molasses in it already. And like I said it makes your bud smoother
How much/long is water needed to flush a big plant in ground/soil ?

Might wanna consider stepping it up to blackstrap molasses, it's really the nutritionally dense (About 7x as nutritionally dense as normal Molasses) version that you want to be using when feeding to plants, the other stuff has far less of the good stuff and made to taste good not be healthy. Check out the differences in nutritional data for the same serving size. (Also blackstrap molasses has zero sodium which is a plus)

To get the same nutrients that are in one tablespoon of blackstrap molasses you would probably need to use more than a pound of sugar.

Nah too much iron in your blackstap. You don't want problems from excess iron.

I am gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you, there is absolutely NOT too much iron in blackstrap molasses, I could point you to dozens of gardening websites that all recommend blackstrap molasses over all other kinds of molasses. lets do some math. The recommended daily allowance of iron is 18mg, one tablespoon of blackstrap molasses has 15% of RDA iron, putting one tablespoon as containing 2.7mg iron. Now we know that a healthy amount of iron for our plants is 2-3ppm, which can also be measured as 2-3 mg/l. Now if one tablespoon of Blckstrap Molasses has 2.7mg iron, that would mean that one tablespoon of blackstrap molasses in one liter of water would give you a perfect 2.7ppm iron, which is right in the sweet spot for our kind of plant. Diluted down to one tablespoon per gallon, there is no possible way you are going to cause an excess of iron or iron toxicity. You just won't. Blackstrap is for sure the way to go. As a matter of fact, every single place that recommends using molasses for gardening recommends blackstrap, only people on here (probably confusing blackstrap and unsulfured [blackstrap is ALSO unsulfured]) ever recommend grandmas or brer rabbit. Trust me on this one. Blackstrap is for gardens or as a vitamin supplement for you, the rest is for your table.

Can't hurt to give it a shot. How much sugar per gallon you using? Also, are they using blackstrap molasses or regular molasses, because there are major differences as I already pointed out. (By the way I ran the numbers using the nutritional data available online, and you would need 25.7 ounces of Sugar in the Raw [Turbinado Sugar] to get the same amount of potassium as one tablespoon of blackstrap molasses.)
