can i use molasses made from dates in my hydro nft system

hav lots of tubz of molasses lyin around brought bak from india but the tub has a pic of a date , so i guess its made from dates.
seen loads of recomendations for using molasses but all seem to be of cane sugar type
also soil is mentioned quite alot
so i hav a hydro nft set up will this work~?
is this type of date moslasses ok to use~?
what stages shud i use ~?
besides if this works cos will save me big bucks on big bud i been spendin on all these years which by the way smells much like the tubs i got 4 cpl of rupees each.....
