Giving females ethylene during budding?

I recently grew plants outdoors and was pouring blended fruit shortening (extra stuff from the fruit that i don't eat). I gave it pineapple skins, lettuce, watermelon skin etc. One thing i noticed were that the buds seemed smaller and for sativas were maturing faster it seemed. It was still very potent however. I would give it these smoothies and water it on top. I recently thought that fruits give off ethylene gas when they are rotting/ aging. Could this explain why the buds did not grow as big (in diameter)?

it might hasten the ripening process which might explain the size issue?

Naw... any ethylene would just blow away outdooors. More likely variations in light and temperature...

You gotta watch out giving cannabis plants acidic 'fertilizer'... and pureed NON-COMPOSTED fruit is not fertilizer. You MUST compost stuff before giving it to your plants.
