Tom,
Use warm water with the molasses, it is very thick. I have never had it clog the sprayer. I mix 1 or 2 oz per gallon.
I usually try and find horticultural molasses, as it contains more of the orginal nutrients.
Medbury, molasses feeds the beneficial microscopic life that make nutrients more available to plants, thus increasing soil and plant health. If you are using chemical fertilizers, molasses may not show a benefit to your plants.
Tom, I forgot to mention that you can make a molasses "tea" using feed grade molasses that you would find at a feed store. Fill a 5 gallon bucket up half way, fill with water, and let it soak for a day. Strain out the molasses residue, and use the liquid. You also put the molasses in a paint straining bag and use it like a tea bag.
