Just bottled my first batch, it was the classic American light kit from mr. beer. It was a two gallon batch so I boiled 0.3 cups of sugar (converted to tablespoons) in 1 cup of water, let it cool and put it in my bottling bucket. Next, I siphoned my beer into the bucket with the tube in a spiral to create a stirring action from the entering beer. I read that the beer being siphoned into the sugar alone was enough stirring. However, I tasted the last bit that was leftover after I filled my bottles and it was incredibly sweet (undrinkable). So i poured a little from the first bottle I filled and it was not sweet at all.
So in short, I think my priming sugar did not mix well with my beer and I am worried about inconsistent carbonation. Possible bottle bombs on the sweet end and no carb on the other.
