No. I've heard of using maple syrup or pure sugar or honey but to get the best result you need unsulphured blackstrap molasses. Too much pure sugar can hurt the plant too I think (1 TBS per gallon should be ok though).

honey has antibacterial properties... for organic growers to much kills our micro herd...

Nice info unseensecret. I don't have any bl. un. mol. available here (even over the web is impossible) but I'm still trying to order some before end Sept. They are so popular I NEED to try them . Last year I used sulphured molasses and it didn't do anything special. They need to be unsulphured.
