I thought the reason for the molasses was for the microbes to eat and other nutrients molasses has not that the sugar is for the plant itself

Bud candy is nothing more than a magnesium supplement: http://www.advancednutrients.com/hydroponics/products/bud_candy/bud_candy_faq_nutrient_facts.php
There may or may not be sugars in that as well in which case molasses is a much more economical option.
The reason Bud Candy has magnesium on the ingredients is because essentially, the regulators require something that's a standard plant nutrient on the label, and sugars, for example, hormones, and other things, don't qualify as plant food by their definition. So basically, with a lot of these products in weed growing, they just toss in a qualifying ingredient so they can call it fertilizer.

Go spend your money on over priced and over hyped products. Ill stay with soil and molasses, your guys' bud candy is just fancy advertisement. These people know how gullible you people are, especially taking all advice you see on forums. Do your own experiments if you really think you'll do better. Compare your results with what you see here if you feel it necessary. I know I'm not making these soon to be monopolies any stronger...
