Ok let's take an in depth look at this ever growing popular debate. Hopefully this article will explain things and put an end to questions once and for all. (Hopefully!)
First and foremost:
In many organic soils a beneficial bacteria called mycorrhizal fungus is present. When the mycrorrhizal fungus attaches itself with the plants roots, it forms a symbiotic relationship with the plant. In exchange for mycorrhizal's added protection against disease, increased ability to assimilate nutrients, and help in developing stronger root growth, the plant provides the fungus with sugars. When you add molasses (or any other sugar) you help feed mycorrhizal and therefore allow your plant to use more of its own energies for optimal plant growth. Adding sugar kind of gives the plant a break. And the fungus will love you, showing its love by working harder to help your plants
Second and equally important, is an in depth look at the advanced nutrient content of unsulphured blackstrap molasses:
WHFoods: Blackstrap molasses
As you can see from this analysis, molasses has decent amounts of calcium, magnesium, and potassium, all of which are nutrients that cannabis loves. (However you can still over-do it in high doses.)
Molasses myth or fact? I think it's clear to be....: FACT.
