Welcome to the farm

Sugars are good for microbes and that all depends.

I’m an old grower, so I’m going to tell you this. The good stuff creates it’s own pretty sugar . It really all depends on your method of cultivating, could you tell us more on this?

I was told by a friend if I add something like molasses to my water it would help at the end.

A lot of the marketed "bud boosters" or "bloom busters" really just contain quality black strap molasses. You are being told things without understanding the why behind the what and I think that is more important. As @CannaGranny said a good nutrient regiment should provide enough sugar production for your microbial life to be happy.

Some growers like to use it, others don't use it at all.

We had 55 gallon drums of molasses on the farm where I grew up because it was a common soil amendment. That was a long time ago. Molasses can promote microbial life and it can also affect flavor. Tomato growers, for example, might use molasses to sweeten the taste of the tomatoes. I don't know if it can affect the taste of cannabis, but I'm interested. It might help flavoring tinctures.

It’s also an excellent choice of both natural mag and cal.
