What do you think of adding molasses or some type of sugar during flower?
How many weeks do I feed the plants with sugar?
Can I use it with my local shops stuff?

I use to add molasses, at about 2-3 ml per gallon....I quit using it because I like it better in cookies :p , but one thing to keep in mind is sugar draws bugs.

Sugars feed microbes in the soil. Plants don't take up sugar. They release sugars into the soil that microbes use. It's a symbiotic relationship.
All those bud candy bs products don't do anything other than drain your bank account.
If you use black strap molasses it has some additional benefits for the plant because of what is in it. (Not the sugar)

Right, the most influential part of molasses I think is sulfur. Sulfur definitely has an impact on terpene production. Companies will sell it as a "sugar flavor sweetener" blahblah but in reality you could get more benefit just adding pure epsom salts @ 0.5-1.0 grams/gal. If you read the nutrient labels they usually have Sulfur in them even if it's just a sugar additive.

The only thing I got from adding Suga Rush, Molasses and other sweets is bugs like fungus gnats. :eyesmoke:
