At the third week of budding, I add to my nutirent cocktail molasses @ 2 tbl per gal of water.

Yep, light provides energy, less light less energy. More light more growth due to more energy to grow.

A very rough estimate on how much you can grow with a HPS light is to take the number of watts and that's the number of grams you can get under optimal conditions.

400 watts = 400 grams

yeah they are atleast 10 hours b/c the trees block some morning light. how much should i give each plant with the molasse water?

Still have to have the energy though. You can only get out of a system what you put into it.

Less light = less energy = less growth = less buds

Five hours of light? Are you serious? That's no where near enough light. They should be getting 12 hours; some strains prefer 10 but that's the minimum I think.
