Using molasses with Nutes

Hello again, RIU. I found some Schultz brand "Bloom Builder" (5-30-5) liquid fertilizer to use alongside my molasses during flowering and had a quick question. First of all, I was planning on watering with nutes (1/4 dose at first) then watering with molasses 2 days later (1 tbsp/gal) then using clean water only in 2 more days, and repeating the cycle (nutes, molasses, water). What I was wondering was whether the flush "feeding" is necessary or could I just go nutes, molasses, nutes, molasses . . . ? Thanks in advance!:bigjoint:

I have used molasses with the nutes, then used just plain water, then molasses/nutes, ect. When flushing I use plain water, then molasses, then plain water for the finish. Not sure if its the best, but it worked for me :)

So dose the plants with a combination of water/nutes/molasses then water only next time then the combo etc? I have heard that plain water isn't really necessary as the molasses isn't adding a bunch of gunk to the plant if used moderately, anyway. I just picked up the General Hydroponics 3-part Flora Series nutes so I'll probably use that + molasses for the last 6 weeks of this grow then go all out next time around! Thanks for the advice!
