let your nose be your guide if its spoiled or contaminated with bacteria your nose will tell you. most expiration dates are precautionary and do not mean the product is always spoiled.

i have always used the standard grandmas molasses as i have never seen any others. im sure the robust is fine as long as it is un-sulphered.

huh? but seriously a good carbohydrate source is beneficial particularly in soil grows.

I heard that you should not use molasses with mix/soil.I use Hornby's Big Bud,my flowering nutes and cane sugar.I wear a bra on my head and sing Ganja Farmer by Marlon Asha while doing a seizure dance!

I can see that some people drank the sugar instead of feeding the plants, lol. Uncle Ben, you funny...

Fermented sugar water.....
As an aside, it's my understanding that the sugar molecule, in any form (sucrose, fructose, lactose, etc.) is too large to move across the root's epidermal gradient into the plant, unlike salts such as potassium chloride. Some folks say molasses feeds the soil's microbes. I've done experiments with molasses and found it much better suited for flapjacks.

it will significantly increase finish weight of buds and raise resin content particularly in soil. i have grown the same clone with and without a carb source bud size and weight were better with the carb supplemented grow. healthy roots=healthy plant=good harvest weight. and as far as plants being able or unable to directly absorb sugars there is some debate depending who you ask or what you read. i see no reason why carb sources like deoxy ribose could not be directly used by the plant. in my grows carb sources seem are helpful overall and are cheap anyways.

I'm planning on trying maple sap tapped straight out of the tree (already processed by the tree to sustain itself) on one plant 4 wks into flowering. Any thoughts?

never tried that it should be ok might have some unknown effect from ambient plant hormones in the maple sap but again i have never used that method.
