I see the Molasses you guys talk about is called Black Strap , Now I can get my hands on molasses that comes straight from the sugar mill is it the same . 
Old Reviews Molasses Question

As long as it's unsulphured, sulphured molasses will kill the microbes
I only need a few TBL spoons at a time so I just buy a 1kg tub of certified organic blackstrap for about $9 at the health food shop
It is a process when manufacting sugar from cane. Blackstrap molasses, or simply blackstrap, is the dark, viscous molasses remaining after maximum extraction of sugar from raw sugar cane.
Any health shop should have it, big supermarkets may have it too. Where I am, Coles has a jar for $7 that is enough for several grows. Just ensure you choose the unsulphured version. I find it makes the buds more sweet/tasty. Some say it helps with root growth. The molasses are carbohydrates that microbes in the soil thrive on.

There is also a powdered blackstrap molasses to try, without the mess or sticky stuff to deal with. Its called VivaStrap. Easy to use and it works just as well as the liquid! There are several brands to choose from on Amazom.

I got the granny's unsulphered will this help with the cal deficiency my plants suffer from.what else can I do.....HD doesn't sell any calmag nutes what's a problem grower gonna due
I dunno, to me molasses is microbe food but i think it has some Cal & Mag in it. You could make CalPhos from eggshells & vinegar but that would take about 20 days to become CalPhos solution.

Organic cal/mag...1 teaspoon epsome salt and 1 tablespoon molasses per gallon(4L) of water. I would mix that in between your feeds 1 time a week. Be careful, as the epsome salt can build up and cause lock out if you over do it!!
