Sugar or big bud??

Hi,im into my 5th week of flower,should i mix in sugar and/or "big bud"?

I think you got 2 more weeks that suger would help. big bud should have been used already. the last week of the grow dont use anything...just lots of water that dont leave much time for anything to really help. i would save big bud till next grow.

All this said in thinking that the grow will go 8 weeks your at 5 now and one week of plain water flush.

Big bud as well as "P-K 13"???could i get a certain amount of days for a strawberry cough good clone and a bubble gum (from seed),soil,indoor,400 watt light,co2 and good ventilation??

is p-k 13 the same as big bud?

What will adding sugar do??

I use both BidBug and Molasses (started 2 week into flower)...im going to stop using BigBud when I start to flush the plants and continue with just water and molasses.

I dont have anything to compare them too, but the buds are huge...proper huge!

Actually, I'm new to growing. However, I do read and watch videos in order to learn. That said, Jorge Cervantes recommends PK 13/14 be used at week 5 of flowering. Funny thing is, I've yet to see PK 13/14 by Canna in grow stores. Rather, they sell Shooting Powder by House&Garden. It is a bud expander on a sodium and potassium basis. There's not a lot of write ups on this product, but from the few there are, growers are happy with it. You can add me to that bunch. I saw my buds expand 1/2 an inch in a day!
In reference to molasses: You have to be careful because the sugars may not break down well and you get fermination. Not good at all. High acidity in your grow medium. Instead there are several "nectar" types of sweetners that are beyond the ferminatation stage and helps boost the fruity smell of the plants. I've tried some of the bottom popcorns and they're definitely fruity in taste! And yes, the pH of the soil remains intact.
Hopes this helps!

Adding some sort of extra sugar can increase your yeild by up to 40%! Ive been using honey, but other people use molasses or brown sugar

use molasses bro , because that can still be used during the whole flowering stage.

Sugar Daddy looks promising, does it serve the same purpose as Molasses?
