Molasses cannot kill a plant unles yopu empty a 5 gallon bucket over the plant and suffocate it. Its a natural sugar, you can sour your soil and over feed to the point the flowers and sugar leaves take on a brown tinge, but i have never seen an over fed to death plant due to molasses.
If you have an over fed plant, molasses will condition the soil fed the roots and microherd, and help to flush through water and clean the plant. Add some seaweed to that, and your plants stand a better chance of recovering quicker.
Molasses serves two very different purposes during the 2 stages of growing, for veg it conditions the soil, feeds the microherd (sorry to repeat), and adds health and vigor to the roots, all of these factors contribute to the plant taking in more water and nutrients, making ther plant healthy and more vigerous, thus growing better.
In flower molasses is used as a sugar/carb booster, adding weight and increasing the development of the flowers and buds, its a 'jury out' situation of whether molasses actually increases the weight of the buds, however in my experience, the molasses helps the bud form quicker, aiding the finishing and ripening of the plant, i think i get a reasonable weight return, but i have been using it that long i wouldn't tell now, and i am not prepared to try a grow with out it, especially if i have to stop the veg application, that for me does as much, if not more, than the flowring application of the molasses.
Just dont over do it mate, its bloody difficult to kill a plant using organic nutes and additives, but it is possible...
