That looks extremely dark to me for being only one tablespon. I typically use 2 Tbls per gallon and you can still easily see through the container. Either you didn't actually use molasses, or you used way too much. I've never seen it that dark.

Looks kind of dark to me, too, for a single tablespoon.

Here is a picture of the stuff I used to mix with the water, 1 Tbls unsulphered blackstrap molasses so I don't see what the problem could be. Any more suggestions?

Looks like the right stuff, I have just never seen mine as dark as what your photo showed. It is what it is I guess, go ahead and feed those babies.

The stuff i use is made by medina and its a little darker than that, but i have some other stuff thats alot lighter (offbrand). if you mixed it exactly how you were supposed to then dont worry. Im pretty sure you would have to use a really strong mixture to hurt a plant real bad. My bro spilled a whole quart on a freshly rooted clone, the next day when he told me about it we poured a couple gallons of water through it. It survived so i guess too much molasses isnt fatal but, im sure its not good either.

Use it when flowering starts. Your mix should be 1-2 Tbls per gallon. Use it every other watering (aka nute water, molasses water, nute water, etc...)

You can use it during veg to if you want.
