I don't mean to hijack your thread MrWhippy. Hopefully these are quick questions and are somewhat relevant.

I'm growing for the first time and I'm probably going to try out this sugar/molasses idea. Day 17 of flower right now and we're seeing lots of pistils on new growth. I have a couple of questions though.

First, should I even bother with this on my first grow? If it's probably not going to make a noticeable difference until I'm more experienced then you can ignore the rest of the questions.

Should I wait until actual buds start to grow before adding any sugar to their water?

I'm giving them straight water every 3rd watering. Should I add any sugar to that or only when they're getting ferts as well?

KP: you said that plain old sugar works as well. Would cane sugar or brown sugar be any better? I only ask because I know that refined white sugar is not the healthiest sugar for humans.

I have white sugar and brown sugar on hand, but if molasses is better than either one I will pick up some of that instead.
