I would recommend you use a hydrometer and calculate your sugar/honey
additions. That sounds like a lot of sugar to add, and it quite likely may
not complete or possibly even start fermenting. Just a thought...

John, you are right. It wasn't that much sugar and honey. It was a
total of 2 pounds sugar and honey, about half and half.
