Flowering now - how much mollases do I use and how much nutes?

I just put four 50 day old vegging females into flowering last night.

The soil is dry but it's after 6pm now and the darkness cycle just started.

Tomorrow morning I am going to water them and from what I have read will begin to water then every 3 days.

My plan is to put either 1 or 2 tablespoons of molasses per gallon in with every watering

I also am going to use some 10-15-10 shultz's liquid nutes because that is all I have. I vegged them by giving them half strength 24-8-16 miracle grow because that was all I had.

I was going to add the nutes at 1/2 strength every other feeding so they are getting nutes evey 6 days.

My question:

Should I use 1 or 2 tbsploons of molasses per gallon. I am growing in soil in 25L (5gal) buckets.

Is using half nutes every 6 days okay?

Also the molasses brand I am using is called Crosby's Fancy Mollases - the ingredients say: Fancy Molasses (from 100% pure sugarcane juice) no preservatives.

Is this brand ok - doesn't say if it has sulphur in it or not.

1 tablespoon or half to every other gal. is what I read or every time you water. I did a comparison once and could not tell the diff. between using it and not using it. If I use anything else it will be humboldt honey.

You don't want to go by a strict guideling on watering. Every 3 days may turn out to be correct, but don't go by time only. Check your soil on day 2 and see how it is. It may need water then. One the 3rd day, check again before watering. It may not need water yet. Too much water can be worse than not enough. As for nutes, don't go by days either. Using 1/2 strength nutes every other watering "may" be ok, or it may be too much. Keep a close eye on your plants and watch for signs of over fertalizing. Molasses, 1tbsp per gallon is what I have found to be a recommended dosage. How often, I'm not sure. But you don't want to use it too often and make the soil too sugary which will attract both pests and mold. In soil, when the water gets used up in the soil, a lot of the nutrients stay suspended in the soil, so they build up with time. Hence why it's easy to over fertilize.

I use the complete FF feeding schedule, including the solubles during bud. To my nute water I also add 1 tbs/gal molasses as well as the directed amount of Sweet. I also add the Sweet to the water I use between nutes. My plants do great.

why sweet + molasses... the whole point of sweeteners is to add Magnesium and Sulfer and other small trace stuff. Both molasses and Sweet (as do all sweeteners) have Mg and Sulfer in them. Isnt adding a double dose (both sweet and molasses) overkill?

please advise

You ever check your PH when you add molasses it makes it acidic but thats not a bad thing to a certain extent.
