Molasses as normal nutrient?

[AntelopeDope]

I have done reading on molasses as a boost for plants during flowering, but I'm wondering if it could be used alone as a general nutrient?

Does it have a good enough N-P-K saturation to do so?

Any other insights?
Thanks in advance for your inpit

So basically, molasses is void of any significant amount of N?

At least, that's what I've picked up from the link. I need to up my knowledge, hehe.

~1% nitrogen

which seems to be derived from the protein...

crude protein/6.25=nitrogen

that 1% is avg of large sampling of various molasses different production regions.

yes, nitrogen is lacking in molasses-only regime... but, adding corn gluten meal (9-0-0) to the media may help w/ nitrogen...

have ran, in imagination, entire season w/ only molasses. food + feed grade. leaves will turn yellow earlier... can be ok, if amendment added via top-dressing, or included in mix prior to sow/transplant.
