Making up Molasses

Hey guys, I'm sure it's somewhere on here, but I was trying to find the correct formula to add to water for molasses. What ratio exactly would make sense?

I was just thinking a tablespoon to a gallon, would that be too much or too little? Any feedback would be appreciated

Also can molasses be used in the last couple weeks of flushing?

1 tsp per gallon is the appropriate amount and yes you can use it during flush some say it sweetens your buds. what I usually do to make it easier is heat one cup of water so that it dissolves faster then I add the hot water to the gallon jug and fill it the rest of the way up.

I just mix mine in with a blender, I fill the blender up most of the way and turn it on and slowly pour in the tablespoon of molasses, I then pour that water back into the gallon jug with the rest of the water to bring the container back up to 1 gallon
So I have a question about molasses use
When using it from start to finish like I hear some people do, don't you have to worry at all about it clogging up the dirt and making it difficult for roots to get around and nutes to find a place to stay? After I started using molasses (only 1 tablespoon per gallon only during every other watering when not applying nutes) it seemed like at least the top bit of soil was toughing up. Was it just me? Or do I have nothing to worry about?

The correct ratio is 1 tablespoon per gallon.

The easiest way to dissolve the molasses is to boil a cup of water, mix in the correct dosage of molasses and add to your mix of water and other nutes.

And no, it won't "clog" the roots or the soil, the molasses is dissolved in the water. It's not like your pouring molasses directly onto the soil.

The main goal of molasses is to feed all the beasties in your soil and to enhance the flavor.
