adding sugar to your water will help fill them out if you arent already using it. as far as im aware you can use it before during and after flush

False. To late to add anything let alone sugar!!
Also. Sugars. Like molasses so not fatten or plump buds. They can feed microbe populations in an organic living soil environment. Otherwise completely waste and can cause more problems.

sorry, it seems you are correct. some claim it helps increase bud weight but not volume. ive used it a few times and it does seem to help but i also use topsoil straight off the forest floor as my medium of choice so id say thats why it helps.

Yes for sure. Good soil is teaming with life. A big problem with molasses is hen used with synthetic there will be poor microbe pop to begin with. This the molasses or sugars don't get eaten up. Causing building up and can bring a harsh smoke if used heavily. But I you have healthy chem free soil. By all means use some blackstrap. Unsulfered is best. And i use in compost teas every two weeks. All the way through 2/3s of flower. Then I stop.
Good to see open minded growers! Noone gets better by knowing everything.
can't fill a full cup blah blah. Lol

Since this is an AUTO strain ( one of my faves ) my breeder packs state a short run between 45 - 50 ( which a little fast ) but I push them to around 55-56 looking for more of the plant eating it's stored nutes ( and more yellow / dead drop off ) to the leaves. It should be on a water only diet. All the blooming it will ever do is done after day 48. 
If you can't wait , put into darkness ( 24 hours ) around day 47-49 ) . One of its main characteristics is it's exceptionally shorter life than other strains. The breeder packs should be a guide only , check your triches and chop when see the most cloudy.
AUTOS are very good about finishing as listed on strain characteristics.
Remember with AUTOS the initial light cycle you choose from the start dictates how well your plant yields. I choose the middle ground 18/6 ( both for energy cost / yield ) .
12/12 gives me somewhat less. Hydro / soilless AUTOS produce the highest yields .
24/0 ( CFL ) produces better ( with mixed 2700k / 5000k ) than 18/6 .
Here she is around day 43 of 75 ( blue mammoth ) and points upward her leaves in happiness. This is absolutely my favorite way to do autos. This will be my 14th auto ( besides that little ( Auto Acid ) to the left. Let them run the course.

i checked the trichs and i found no amber signs but only cloudy/milky trichs. this auto had 24/0 light for 4 weeks and 12/12 for 6 weeks.All the hairs are brown and i am thinking of cutting it in spite of the fact that it has no density cause i was cutting buds continuesly and i stressed it a lot.
