Application:
Veg - 1 teaspoon per gallon of water every third watering
Flowering - 1 tablespoon per gallon of water every third watering
The first two waterings I only use my main nutes. On the third watering I use just water and molasses. Then I repeat, throughout the life cycle.

Theory:
The molasses provides sugars for the bacteria in your soil, this is why I use it for the entire life cycle of the plant. I up the dosage in flowering because it provides a nice boost of phosphorous and potassium.

Hopefully that is unsulphured molasses you ordered.
