I remember reading about blackstrap molasses and that a lot of sweeteners are basically molasses and water and some amino acids or something. I can't remember the details off the top of my head. So yes it acts as a sweetener. I can't say it actually makes the bud taste sweeter but my resin production went way up when I started using it, giving the bud more flavor and making it a little less harsh I suppose.
Every grow I've used it I've seen insane amounts of resin. It was a noticeable difference from not using it. I don't want to buy a bottle of water + molasses when I can just do that myself. I'd have a hard time replicating Floralicious+ or Rapidstart or a lot of other nutrients but I have full faith I can make a molasses + water solution .
To answer your question more directly, if you already don't have a bottle of sweetener that you are adding then I would most certainly use it. You can account for the cal/mag in it but I really don't.
How much molasses per gallon ???
