potency - let them all go another 2-3 weeks. best piece of advice i've heard in awhile is, "when you think they're ready to chop, wait 5 days." you could also combine this waiting with the "best for yield" technique, above

i've never used molasses before, as i jumped balls in to hydro for my first grow. never hear people stop talking about it though. i don't think it provides anything but sugars that the plant can use immediately. no NPK value to it, just a boost of carbohydrates for the plant. so it couldn't hurt to do maybe a week's watering with molasses, then flush another week before harvest.

i've been early-morning drinking, so apologies if the above made no sense.
