A question about Rock Candy

According to the directions it says that I'm suppose to let the stuff sit out for a week!? Any way i could get this stuff faster?

What you're trying to do is promote crystalization by evaporation. You need to do several things to make it go faster.

-Heat aids evaporation. Raise the temperature slightly.

-Humidity retards evaporation. Make the environment drier.

-Increasing the surface area increases the rate of evaporation.
When I tried to make rock candy, I used the old jelly jar and string method. What happened was the entire surface of the liquid on top crystalized, so nothing more was evaporating. If this happens, just tap it down with the back of a fork or a chopstick.

That's about all I can think of for now. Let me know how it goes.

my science sence tells me that if you start with a crystal it will be easier, maybe if you shove small bits of sugar into the popcicle stick it will get going faster?
