I had heard that you can add booze such as Brandy to your pot plants
while your buds are growing , and that you will get tasty buds and a nice high
dose anyone know if this works?
Thanks Darcie

Most beer has a pH of 2-4. Probably lower. If you want to add beer to your pots it will only fuck them up :p.
i heard "booze" stunts plant growth.... might not be a good one to try there man..
This is my plant, which I took as a seedling and grew in a half bottle of beer for a couple of days. Then I fed it a little more beer after it was in soil. I only did it a couple of times and I don't think it really helped or hurt the plant much.

Also, there's this homemade nutrient mix, which contains a small amount of Jack Daniels, among other ingredients.

Well no thanks, I dont want any alcoholic buds :).
I vote it is mostly bullshit
Alcohol itself is likely poisonous to the plants roots. A friend of mine said it may be the glucose in the alcohol that gives the buds a little kick. I think the flavoring natural or artificial may affect the taste too. So if Jack Daniels has an effect imagine what Captain Morgan’s Spiced rum would do. Maybe too mush.
As I see it doing these kinds of things to a healthy plant is a novelty and will be effective only if you TELL the people that smoke it afterwards. “Oooh Ahh give me another it of that whiskey joint.” (People can be as dumb as they are smart) Sure a small benefit may actually be realized but in my mind there are more chances for disaster than success.

I recommend using the same old tried-and-true growing methods, I sincerely doubt many more advances or discoveries will be found to be beneficial in plant growing ...

Placing booze in your plant water is completley safe if done properly.
To those of you that say its not a "GOOD IDEA", you have "NO IDEA" what you are talking about.
It must be done in flower mode, weeks 4-5.
Done properly, it completely enhances the aroma, smokability, smoothness and potency of the herb.
Jack, Gin, and vodka are all things I know that some peeps use...with outstanding results.
Of course alcohol is poison to plants. Its poison to people. Thats why the body has a PASS OUT mechanism....to avoid too much intake that is toxic. Alcohol is poison to all life forms.
Thats the point. The plants uptake it, recognize it as an internal stressor and release more THC.
To say its wrong to feed your plant booze is hypocritical. Its no more harm than chopping the plants down. Booze can be a great boost for your final end desired results.
Beer is loved by these plants, although for entirely different reasons that the alcohol...its yeast and carbohyrates is what the beer is good for.
Bottom line.
These particular plants love Jack Daniels!
I don't see any signs of toxicity from booze....nor will I.
Well thanks for that Harddon, your very informational and that was very interesting.
Actually whiskey is in alot of home-made mixtures for plants.
I give my flowering plants this.
2 tbsp of fish fertilizer
2 tbsp of liquid dish soap
2 tbsp of whiskey(burbon)
1 tbsp of corn syrup
1 tbsp of instant tea
mixed into 2 gallons of
water.
I give them a feeding of that every three weeks.
Really?Quote:

Could you please tell me what is the advantage of this? As far as I know detergent is very harmful for plants, at least for seedling and especially for germinating seeds (it kills them).Quote:

As for the subj.
I heard one guy told me that he always buys a bottle of red wine and feeds the whole bottle 24 hours (maybe a lil more) before harvesting. He claims that after that procedure plant recieves unbelivable aroma and taste of the buds become so wonderful and шndescribable. =)
In my opinion adding strong alco like whiskey, vodka and all other stuff is just fetish and nothing more. I prefer clear and organic bud. The same with alco :)
Peace.
It was intersting to see everyones views on the subject
Iam gland that some poeple have tryed this and had some good results and some ideas for differnt alcohol to use.
the person that told me about this idea said that they added brandy while there buds were growing and it did not kill them
and that they got a really great high.
I was woundering if the plants can actually absorb the alcohol and thats why you get so high.
If anyone has a thought about this please write
Thanks alot :stoned:
Yeah, really, why is that shocking? Yeah some ground upQuote:

Gympsum sprinkeled over the top of you soil will add calcium
too while braking down salts that build up in the soil that
hinder plant growth. I use both gympsum and egg shells.
:thumbsup:
Actually tea contains tannic acid which helps plants intake moreQuote:

being used.
Hope that helps:thumbsup:
That cocoction has been posted for along time.
However, the tea also acts as a pH down, and the tannins act as a stabilizer for the entire juice.
The dishsoap acts as a cutting agent to the deep soils and is also a wetting agent that takes the soil molecules that become water resistant and hydrates them once again.
It allows you soil to hold more water.
As well, alcohol acts as an internal stressor for increased THC production. It is a poison to the plant...and thus stimulates more action.
And I have not been here that long I have known about
that mix for quite sometime now. I always leave the ammonia
out of the original mix because its a source of nitrogen
and my plants get all the nitro they need from the plant
foods they are feed during flowering.
I don't know if you can read this but these are text took
from a horticulture book explaining how those substances
act. (shitty web cam)
I said this in the other post about alcohol:
There was an article written up a few years ago about this subject and flowers. It caused a great deal of skepticism in horticulture circles. Personally I have not tried it my self nor would I ever. What I do know is Alcohol will dry out the roots and the plant can’t absorb all the alcohol properties. The little hairs will pull back and nutrient uptake is reduced. Now it could be used as a stress technique very late in flower that may be possible. Some feel that stressing the plant late in flower can produce female seeds and may increase THC. Personally I prefer the stress free growing you have less problems and a better overall quality. I can’t remember where I found that article but if you Google it you may find it.
Make up your own mind.
Interesting well I dont mind giving it to may a few of my plants a shot late in flower, so I can be the judge of that for my self......Can u Please post the Reciepe u guys use
Its absolutley stupid to do that and is of no benifit what-so-ever, This is like a cartoon therory or something, maybe if you add gun powder to the soil it will be more explosive when you smoke it. Don't pour been in your soil and in fact I can't beleave it didn't kill the plants for those who have. There is no way the chemical uptake in the plants is alcohol thats just asinine
Orignal mix is
1 cup of beer
2 tbsp. of fish fertilizer
2 tbsp. of liquid dish soap
2 tbsp. of ammonia
2 tbsp. of whiskey
1 tbsp. of corn syrup
1 tbsp. of instant tea
mixed into 2 gallons of water
I dont use the cup of beer or ammonia in mine
as far as it stressing the plant to the point of
it turning hermi or some other issues coming
about I dont think that it weakend like this would
cause any problems and as I stated before alcohol
unlocks nutrients that are in you soil.

Nah you didn't come off as an asshole, you came off as someone who had did it and is 100x the green thumb I am currently. I was commenting based on a flashback of when I was 14 and thought it'd be cool to pour beer in the fishtank so they could party a little, they were all dead in the morning, so I became shell shocked on the free pouring of beer on anything. ;)
LOL poor fishies, at least they were drunk when they died.
