Trek, can't find molasses? Just buy the darkest sugar you can get; the darker it is, the more nutrients it has to offer. However, as DB pointed out, it's more about feeding the micro-herd carbohydrates. Careful feeding any sugar/molasses during veg as it causes your N levels to drop - in fact, for this very reason, sugar is now becoming more popular as a weed killer!
Stretching can be kept to a minimum by keeping the light as close as possible, using more blue light - especially in the first 2 weeks of flower - and a 20/4 light schedule seems to be the best at slowing stretch in veg. I grew 2 White widows under cfl's and they only doubled in size after the flip, which I put down to keeping the lights 1 inch away at all times.
On a side note, is anyone using a 150w MH at any point in there grow? HPS ballast can run them, so I was wondering if anyone found any benefits in using them over hps say, during veg, or last week of flower?
