I was always told that you should not let it sit around a day or two you should only use that one time

I have years of experience with molasses. I'd like to weigh in. What growing method are you doing?

The moleasses is probably feeding anaerobic pathogens. You can't just let water sit with organic material in it... ever seen a stagnant pool of water?

In any case, a foul smell is a bad sign... earthy, mossy, roots smell is fine; cheesy feet ass smell is not.... don't give it to your plants.
