Alright just started brewing and I'm hoping this isn't a silly question but... I'm making a ginger beer and as i have been collecting bottles that are all different sizes (some 568ml, 330ml, 750ml etc) I was thinking of bulk priming by adding sugar to the fermenter (after melting it in small amount of water). Is it safe just to do it in the fermenter I'm doing primary in? wasn't thinking of racking it because i want the ginger beer cloudy.

If you're talking about adding sugar in order to carb up your bottles then yes, this is perfectly acceptable. Personally I'd move the beer into another bucket and add the sugar to that so you don't risk stirring your yeast cake into the beer you're about to bottle.
+1 on racking your beer into the priming solution in another bucket or carboy for bottling.
