Silly? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I just wanted to know if the kool aid thing was true and how does that work, THATS IT, as far as Me doing it, NOT NOW, maybe in the future, but Its only silly to people who dont have fun with it, growing is a experiment and it could be some of our jobs, Its just a experiment thats all.


thanks for any input

Not sure about honey, but molasses also contains several trace nutrients (iron magnesium, etc.), and the plants seem to tolerate it very well. I have also seen pictures of buds that were watered with added molasses and buds that weren't - exact same buds, yet the one treated with molasses was definitely larger.

It doesn't really add as much of a sweet taste, in my opinion, as it enhances the aroma and pungency of the final product. Maybe it does make the bud slightly sweeter...it's hard for me to tell because I never water without it now!

Again, if it's not dangerous to those who will eventually consume it - and if you're not afraid to possibly goof something up & diminish your yield - there's nothing wrong with a little experimentation. We'd never learn anything new if we didn't try new things!

Whats the measurments? Example: 3tsp per quart etc...

As far as sweet buds, I'm a big fan of sweet buds but the strain i have now is already fruity/skunky....I was just gonna experiment on 1 out of a few plants and see the outcome..Bigger buds? who wouldnt be interested in that, i've read other places about increasing your bud density by adding a tablespoon of sugar per quart...

But, real growers experiment and other growers got there heads to far up there A** to realize im just experimenting.. :hippy:

Thanks for any input...

One tablespoon per gallon is what most people start with. If your plants respond well to it, then feel free to add more...it's entirely up to you.

Ok cool, thanks a lot for the help out and i appreciate it very much.

Well all right... but read up on selective ion transport across a membrane to see why it won't work...

sticking a plant in a dyed water after harvest will result in the plant to continue to grow, and will also absorb the dye that is in kool-aid, so if you want to change the color, go ahead and stick that thing in some color'd water and watch the colors change. Wont do anything other than tho.

Food colorings are FDA approved for oral consumption, not smoking.
I do NOT trust the chemical products of a combustion reaction. These have not been tested for hazards to humans.
Please just everyone stick to purple genetics and cold temps to bring out your plants' natural colors.

LMAO!! OMG

Ok, Coloring weed, I never did, And this experiment doesn't do that. I understand what you two are saying and believe me it's nothing, I always enjoy marijuana BUT like i said before, whats the point of growing all the time when you can't do anything knew? I probably smoked every strain and i missed a few, been to a few festivals.

But all im doing is a "EXPERIMENT", come on people say it with me,

E-X-P-E-R-I-M-E-N-T!! lol

But i count on certain people on this site to Try to shut my dreams down, it never fails, i always see a thread with somebody who wants to try something new and everytime they post a thread someone always comes along to say "no don't do it, its a bad idea"....well, im doing it as we speak and when it makes progress i'll post some pics and the people who said "dont" will see what i meant by kool aid....I already kno whats the worst that can happen, i already kno the flavored water could attract bugs, im well prepared for that, NO its not gonna keep growing in the cup....



thanks for ANY input! :jointsmile:

Yes thats the best/smartest thing to do before jumping into any experiment!! But I've done that, and it does work.... :rastasmoke:

ok, i'm not shutting ya down, just giving ya some info, if you want to add kool-aid to your plant to 'help' it, then so be it, enjoy...... HOWEVER..... if you have done it and it does work....why are you asking here?
