Molasses and flushing

I have maybe a week before harvesting. I'm going to flush at least twice before I do. Been using the GO Box for nutes. I just read that molasses should be added in the second half of flowering. Will adding molasses this late in the game improve my buds? They've been flowering 11 weeks and a day. Also, is it something that needs to be flushed in future grows?
 
I always add molasses (unsulphered) to my grow regimine. And i usually start my last 2 weeks of flower with just ph'd water with 1 tablespoon molasses per gallon. It helps alot.

On that note I got 2 gallons of molasses from a mennonite store today for $11. Couldnt believe it was that cheap. Yay for me.
 
I've been using molasses for a while now for sure I've seen and tasted a big difference. I use the same way as spider 1tablespoon but use 2 at the end couple weeks with Just ph water. Also the molasses helps my soil to hold on a few more weeks I don't use nute lines or scheduled feedings.
 
I am just thinking in the terms of decomposition, and how much those microbes would break down. I mean consider the plant matter in soil already, that takes time to breakdown, I am probably putting to much thought into it.
 
Yes it is already broken down from its original form when they make the molasses. Its converted to a simpler form. Then you mix it with water so its basically a liquid. If you put raw cane it would need to break down.
 
Okay, first yes you are right, second I just tried some of my smoke. My IQ went from 120 to 70, now I see.*Laughing*
 
Yes that is one function of it. However saying its to late I can not agree with for it has many other efffects too. So agree to disagree on that @kingfish

Gingerbeard if you are of the camp that believes you have to use water thats 0ppm (RO) to flush then yes you wouldnt use it or anything for weeks. I prefer mine flushed with it. To me and many the taste is preferred. There is a difference in what the final product tastes like when you use water that even has 50ppm vs 0ppm. Flavor you will need to determine yourself but many stand by using it.
 
Thanks, y'all. I'm using Black Magic soil with the GO Box. I've read different opinions on how long soil and organic nutrients should be flushed. From none to a couple weeks before harvest. What plants I've had success with only took two flushes at three days apart. Neither I no my friends had any hint of nutes. It was smoothe and burned a nice white, smoke.
I tested the water I was using after finally getting a PH test kit. The PH was over 7. I have bottles of tap water sitting on my patio to off gas. That's the 7 and what I've been using. The machine filtered water I tested came in at about exactly 6.5. Yet my plants seem healthy and productive for as much abuse as I've given them. As far as the reverse osmosis goes, I'm sure it's been reverse osmosisized. Checking ppm of anything is out of my league.
Two plants are about to replace the one I have in my flower chamber. These are going to get molassisized. And not so abused. I have guilt.
 
Found what I was looking for. It's settled. Miss Haze say's it's good until harvest. No flushing needed. I might have time. The hair on the plant is turning color, quickly.
