Chemicals in Hydroponic Weed

[187]

Today this guy was trying to tell me that since hydroponic weed is grown in water and uses chemicals to grow plants that the chemicals go into the buds and u end up smoking the chemicals i didn't believe it at all. He also said acetone and ammonia was a natural chemical in marijuana along with some other stuff.

You can grow hydro with chemicals, or you can grow hydro with organic nutrients.

Either way, it isn't like you're using paint thinner to grow it... you probably intake more chemicals when you eat @ McDonald's

Same applies to soil... you can grow soil with chemicals, as well as organic nutes.

Growers do a "flush" about 14 to 7 days before harvest of their plants... they give their plants pure water, so the plant gets, um, "flushed". ;)

This guy is a dumbass. Please kick him in the nuts for us.

[woscarr]

and...

If the grower dosen't know what he's doing and dosen't flush...

You will taste it in the bud...

harsh taste & burning sensation in the throat might indicate chemicals/ bad bud.

Buy somewhere else then...

u know what it was actually some guy form the jail giving us a lecture even though he kept saying that wasn't what it was i kept argueing with him about she he said that he knew people that smoked embalming fluid, that they used marinol to make food like pot tarts and shit i just stopped listening osrry about the no periods

He's right in some situations. If the plants are grown with chemical ferts and aren't flused properly then that's what happens.

[xNoa]

actually yes if hydro is not done right you can end up with a product thats far worse for you then had it been done right. this also applys to any growing of mj, its just easier to fuck up if you dont know what youre doing with hydro.

In my opinion, it's easier to work with hydro...
You need more tools, more $ to do it right, but you have more control over the plants. You can adjust the pH up or down, in order to have the plants intake the nutrients you want... so you can correct/level deficiencies fairly quickly and easily.

Soil, well... you don't have that much control over soil.

As to "easier to fuck up with hydro", true. One bad nutrient mix and your plants might go beyond the point in a couple of hours.

I'm learning now, that what most growers fuck up is the "drying and curing" process of the buds. It is in that process, that chemicals break down, THC derrivatives get catalyzed into other THC derrivatives, and where clorophyl [?] breaks down... so your weed doesn't taste like green grass.

the chemical taste occurs in soil grown as well.....i pulled up a male plant the other day and said "what the fuck....i'm dry". i dried the tops out for a week and sampled them....yuck. i use superthrive and all i could taste was that nauseating fishy taste of the s-thrive. bleech!

[latewood]

If you don't flush/dry/cure properly...any MJ will taste or smoke like shit...
Hydro is not harder/growing than soil...I do both, and the only thing easier about soil is you don't have to move all that 'Water'...lw

[Nochowderforyou]

If you use any nutes at all, you flush, organic or chemical. Simple as that, and you won't taste the ferts or have a harsh smoke. When you flush, you are flushing out all those chems. or whatever that have been into the soil/roots. You flush it, it gets it all out, and no, it isn't stored "in" the buds. The ferts. go into the roots, and the plant reacts in a good way. No ferts. really go into the buds, I don't think anyways.

The only natrual chem. in buds, are Clorophil (sp?) or Cloroform. I read that one of these chems are found in buds, using chems or not, but it lowers significantly when you properly dry and cure the buds.

Other than that, smoke up!

[hubblebubble]

of course the plant absorbs chemicals

You probably used way too much superthrive, it doesn't take much and as the bottle says, it is not a primary fertilizer and should not be used as such but rather as a supplement to your overall feeding program. A few drops per gallon of water is plenty when using on soil grown plants and I suspect that a couple drops in your nutrient solution is not going to be noticed in the end product.
