Brown sugar is refined white sugar with molasses added.
I've used it on occasion but pure molasses is preferable.

i used brown sugar because i diddnt want to wait for molasses and it works great. i've been giving it to some and not to others to see the real difference and i'll never not give it again. the buds literally explode when used. i used 2 tbs / gal of water a few times throughout flowering w/ no problems.

couldnt hurt, just about the right time for feeding them brown sugar you'll notice the buds swell a bit more

i dont think it works that way as far as flavor. but try and let us know your results.
i did have an outdoor crop planted near a lot of speramint plants and the buds did have a mentholish smell/flavor

My man is a 35 year experienced grower he says to use pure organic sugar cain mixed with your fertilizer at a ratio of I tablespoon per gallon. You will see a 20%
increase in yield. We both are old school we grow in sunshine mix indoors.,
