Adding molasses to the water will not make the plant 'sweeter'. Neither will kool-aid, sleepytime teas, eye of newt, or anything else for that matter. Doesn't work that way. Molasses is a great source of micronutes, calcium, magnesium, iorn and carbon, and it's the basis for most of the carbo-load products.

A little overkill, (two weeks?) but you do understand that you are flushing the soil, not the plant, right? Impossible to flush the plant without killing her.
I do the final flush with plain, ph'd water for two or three days, then cure the buds after harvest if necessary. (curing is not always necessary)
