Can I add more sugar and leave it to ferment longer if it didn't carbonate during F2?

I bottled up some kombucha from my F1, some flavored and some not, I put about half a teaspoon of sugar per half a liter of kombucha, and nothing happened. I might have had my measurements wrong. If I want to put more sugar and leave it out to ferment longer, is that ok or will the taste start to get too acidic?

if my F1 is still a little bit too sweet, can I bottle it to have a natural flavor and the sweetness will replace the added sugar to create fizz? My F1 tastes a little bit sweet still, so I am wondering if I can just bottle it without adding sugar and if it will continue to ferment and become fizzy as if I added sugar, since it's still sweet from the F1.

Is there any way to fix a batch that didn't fizz? If I already bottled and put it in the fridge, but opened it to find out there is no carbonation, is there a way to fix it? Can I leave it out again to ferment?

If I use more starter will F1 finish sooner? If I use 2 cups instead of 1 cup for the same amount of tea, will it ferment and be ready sooner?

What do I do if i can't tell if my F1 is sour, sweet, or tart and it all tastes the same to me? It may sound weird, but I cannot tell if my F1 is sweet, sour, or tart. It tastes like all of them. I have 3 different batches going, one with green + black tea, another with green + white tea, and another with green + hibiscus, they all taste differently, but they also all taste slightly sour, weirdly sweet, and have a vinegary after taste. This has happened in the past also with other batches I have done, so I don't think it's because of the tea I used. How can I tell if it's done?

Do you need different amounts of sugar for different types of sugar? Does the amount of sugar needed depend on if its white, brown, cane, or other types of sugar? Does it have any impact on the brew?
