Molasses is the best if its used sparingly and flushed out really well also because of trace minerals and carbs not just for "sweetening"

Looking at your pics...I retract my post...your plants dont need anything... if you chop with too much left over it crumbles, snaps when it burns, etc, molasses is better for veg and early bloom...I would just feed normally then flush 2 weeks

Im going to put my vote in as: dont mess with something good. You got a good thing going right there. Id say tessarecting is right. Let them grow old gracefully and smoke them.
I was under the impression people do molasses a couple weeks befor and up to the 2 week flush.
Molasses 1-0-5
A chelating agent that also has sulfur, iron, mag. and calcium.
Chelation refers to the binding of metal ions such as Ca.,Mg.,Fe. and Zn.
Hard to believe but yes calcium is a metal ion.
Molasses allows nutriments to remain totally available/absorbable by the plant.
It converts nutriments into a form plants can use.
Molasses is also a good food source by both the bacteria and the fungi.
Other chelates are humic and fulvic acids and vitamin C and a wise growers would include any of these if doing any foliar.
Molasses stimulates growth of beneficial microbes because it is a carbon source.
Molasses primary use would be to treat a plant that was deficient in K.
Its use of it's chelating abilities include using it with up to 2 weeks till finish @1TBLSP/gal.

I grow in coco and use s product called B'cuzz bloom. I use the grow also but got pretty good results using bloom only. It's not a nutrient but a flower enhancer made from some type of seaweed. It will bring out hidden flavors and aromas in the buds and it'll make the finished product look better. It's expensive as hell but I like having better looking/smelling buds than my competition so I use it. It won't add sweetness unless you are growing sweet buds, but it will make the terpenes more pronounced whatever they may be. I used it in hydro also for 10+years. Any time I ran out there was a very very slight, yet noticeable difference in the end result. I tried products like botanicare 'sweet' and didn't like the taste. It adds a touch of generic sweetness maybe but doesn't let the other flavors shine really. Also in coco specifically it helps to flush the medium lightly every couple weeks so you can get a clean slate in the medium and the plants can uptake the proper ratios of npk instead of what has built up. Usually the plants will look healthy whether the flushes are done or not, but optimum uptake equates to optimum growth, and eventually optimum flavors. If your strain is sweet already you can enhance that flavor, but the as the old saying goes 'you can't polish a turd'. Bland varietals will be bland regardless what is added or how they're grown.
The guy at the hydro store laughs every time I pick the bcuzz up And says it's his secret weapon, lol. He says he told people about it for years and nobody wanted to buy it because of the price so now he doesn't try to push it, just gives a nod to those who know.. Good luck.
