My question is does putting molasses in the soil help the buds grow to be bigger and denser?

Yep, it does. Add 1 tbsp per gal to your nutes during the last 6 weeks before harvest and it's game on! I've got very impressive results myself. After I started using molasses, my buds went from golf ball size to soda can size. I have to use supports now to keep the plants from falling over on the floor from being so heavy with buds. No joke.

Happy growing!

Same here I had to stake my plants because the top are to heavy... Molasses is a great source of calcium and magnesium and adds sticky to the mix...

I'm sure any brand you use will work just fine.
I like to use Grandma's Unsulphured Original (yellow label). It dissolves easier in the water than the Grandma's Unsulphured Robust (green label).

As long as unsulphered is on the label your good to go. Does anyone know what is the substitute for mollasses? Something like calmag or carbo load or something? I've remember someone saying it in a thread once but can't find it anymore.

Grandma's Unsulphured Backstrap Molassess is what I had recommended over and over - so far works great

Cal/Mag which is pretty much just molasses with a few other nutrients and essentials thrown in for marketing. It's a waste of money if you ask me.
