Rates of molasses depend on what you are trying to achieve.

Just a little bacterial growth? Then low concentrations.

Fungal enhancement? Then above 5%. Yes, that's alot of molasses, but it works as a sticker too at the high concentrations.

The higher rates of moalsses as better for growing fungi and selecting against human pathogens is based on a paper we just submitted to a scientific journal to publish.

If you use the high concentrations, make sure you have a sprayer that can deal with syrup.
