Ask them why do I want to use molasses?
In fact when anyone suggests you use something, ask them why.
If the answer is something like... my plants love it, the buds got way huge, the plant took off like a rocket... etc. Then just enjoi the conversation but don't follow.
I'm sure some of them did notice those things, but for the most part it's just a coincidence.
Pay attention to the answers that come with more info like why are my lower buds smaller than my top buds is it cuz the light? That's basic... look for the one that says apical dominance is responsible for that, auxin is a growth hormone that grows in the tips of branches that only flows through the stems downwards and it prevents sugars from going into a lower buds so it can keep apical dominance.
Auxin is responsible, not by itself though it'll prevent too much sugars from going into the tips and there's also cytokinin. The balance between cytokinin and auxin dictates it's Behavior more cytokinin then auxin Bud growth more auxin in cytokinin root growth.
