well from my experience molasses is best feed as a solution of at least 1l water on a table spoon covered in molasses, and for this strong rather strong version of the mix you need warm water to dissolve it all. a gallon, i would say per spoon, is a in general good concentration to go with.
as video mentioned above already, it is a nice fertilizer, and to add on this holds a lot of magnesium to it too. the clue about molasses is that you feed the useful microorganism in our soil and that those then provide more nutes in usable form to your plants root system. abut this also limits the use to soil, max would be coco fibers. with rockwool it plugs everything up and in hydro it kills pumps and stuffs drippers and shit. so it is for soil only!
