I figure to use about 1 tbsp per liter of water, but as molasses is thick should I boil it in water? Both to thin it out and possibly break-down some sugers as you would do in brewing beer. Also, how long into flowering and how often? Oh, and this is for an outdoor grow.

Y, go ahead and do that.
you can start giving molasses at any point during actual flowering, i start 1 week after they show sex.

I heat filtered tap water in a kettle, let it cool just a bit then pour it over the molasses in a pyrex beaker/measuring cup. This cools more and then gets added to me water jug along with seaweed extract and micro herd powder.

Damn I'm ready a good couple weeks into flowering but it's all good. I'm sure they'll still enjoy it. smile.gif
