i heard mixing a teaspoon of sugar with your water at the end of the flowering stage will make your buds swell...is this true?

check out molasses. Most people use some type of sugar carbon During flowering, but like everything else it must be stopped for harvest.

You can use molasses up until you harvest...

Use clear corn syrup instead of molasses.

Molasses contains many impurities that can clog nutrient portals. Same thing goes for sugar. Remember, molasses is a waste product of trees. Minerals are expelled in the syrup and it may wind up locking up some roots or small stem nutrient pathways.

The only other type of sugar I would us is powdered fructose. However, do not use this type of sugar with hard water. Soft water only with fructose.

The sugar provides super simple carbohydrates that feed the plant. It is best to use right before serious THC production begins to take place, which is weeks 4 and 5. Feed during that period 3X straight times when you water.

Do not over do it. A few tablesppons per 1/2 of water is sufficient.

Sweet smokin to ya.

if you add sugar to the water the last six weeks leading up to the harvest it will increas the weight of the bud by about 20%..

Molasses that you find at the grocery store is actually a product of the sugar cane industry. There IS such a thing as beet molasses but good luck finding it; it's for industrial scale farming (feed) or alcohol production typically.
Maple syrup is the one from trees, and that's the one that contains some pretty unusual sugars that I don't feel like testing out on my plants- plus it's outrageously expensive.
