MasonJarBong, that scenario seems plausible. The oldskool growers I spoke with claimed the Molasses did not directly affect the plant, so it was doing something positive to the soil that allows the plant to take up more of the nutes and sugars from the soil that it would otherwise have been able to do. It seems to work though, at least in my experience and the experiences of others who have used it. Again, a side by side test of one with and one without would be very interesting.
