Currently I am feeding two plants molasses, leaving a third as a control. We will announce results at harvest time.

That's not going to be beneficial as the plant needs energy given by light and if it isn't given at least 12 hours, it's not going to grow to its full potential
Not exactly true. In fact some breeders recommend shortenting the photoperiod in the last two weeks, as this stresses the plant since shorter days = deadly winter approaching real fast.

I doubt outdoor plants get 12 hours of intense direct light in autumn before harvesting...

Waste of effort adding molasses when you're using chemical supplements like tigerbloom and cha ching. With chemicals your microherd is non-existent.
sorry but molasses works I've got an indoor plant bigger than some outdoor plants using molasses
I use molasses in veg and flower look at my results:

True, but the person I was recommending that to is not close to harvest yet. It's true that giving a 11/13 light period vs dark period helps around 2 weeks before harvest as that is what naturally occurs in fall

Gotta see the difference. I have been using molasses on all 3 plants at the same time so I have no idea if it helps or not.

Pics are good if you have any.

Paradoxically, I've heard that giving them 13 hour of light for the last two weeks actually ups cannabinoid production without changing maturation or harvest date. Just another theory to be tested. Not by me though, seems un-natural.

Molasses versus humbodlt honey es? results anyone?
