1ST GROW...molasses as wetting agent?

OK, I don't want to sound like a moron but I have a legit question. I have heard a couple of times that u can use molasses as an EFFECTIVE wetting agent. TRUE???
My RH is very low right now so I have been using a sprayer to keep it a little more humid in my room and have been using slight amounts of molasses to keep the water from dripping right off the plants. I am sure I am not doing any harm (see pics) and I was also wondering if the 4% of calcium that it has might possibly help with the PH levels. I AM A TOTAL NEWBIE so go easy on me. First Grow and have definitely been totally dedicated to doin this right. Thanks guys.

5 weeks old and 4 weeks old-bag seeds...pretty certain they are skunk though...def. Indica

ive never heard of it being used as a wetting agent but i use two tbs per gallon of water during flowering right up till harvest to increase flavor and resinyness

using molasses right on the plant may create some problems... more small unwated bug problems than anything. I have heard of the tablespoon or 2 in with H2O for thickening/improving bud quality but not on the plant itself. BTW your plants look very nice for 4-5 weeks old very bushy and green what kind of lights/nutes

No, not true, a wetting agent is a soap.

I don't think humidity is that big a deal. Get a humidifier if you want to.

I think bugs would really like the sugar, oh and its the sugar in it that is supposed to help the plant. I used a product with Molasses in it and my harvest was noticeably worse.
