try adding 1 gram of sugar per liter of water for first two waterings after you stop nutes then plain water till the end you will be happy with results
Question - what's the sugar for?

i found this for you on another site thought it may explain a little since ledgrower said about it i been doing some research
Good organic soil contains mychorrizae, micro-organisms that benefit the plant by helping the roots absorb nutrients.
Like yeasts, mychorrizae like sugars.
I wouldn't use regular table sugar though. I use unsweetened pineapple juice, other growers use molassas.
You don't need much. During the latter half of flowering I add 1 tablespoon of pineapple juice per gal/water.
Adding sugars especially helps during the "flush", the last 2 weeks before harvest when you stop using fertilizer for good-tasting bud.
Cut this amt. in 1/2 if you are growing in containers, and don't use during veg.
Don't use sugars if you are growing hydro.
I've been unable to find much sugar reference to mychorrizae - most search "hits" come up with stoners on various sites speculating, & that I take with a grain of salt.
Unsulfered black-strap molasses seems to be the most popular for feeding the little beasties.
But then there's this from the Urban Gardener.
"Molasses and other carbs are good for feeding bacteria and other types of fungi. But you don’t need to feed the mycorrhizae. That’s missing the point. The plant feeds them! It’s the exudates from the plant roots that cause the mycorrhizal propagules to germinate. (There are synthetic compounds that cause the mycorrhizae to germinate but they are unnatural, expensive and not commonly available.) You are better off adding products which contain humic acids, organic growers can use high quality organic input."
But to qualify this, I also inoculate my plants with said fungi & later in flower add 1tbsp of Molasses per 5 gallons just to cover the bases.
Peace.
