birth control as a nute

[buckwheat]

i heard that if you mix 1 birth control pill in a gallon of water for watering it makes the marijuana plant mature faster

believe it or not it has been proven on tomato weed plants and many have claimed it works on marijuana

is this true or is it just a stupid idea
please express your knowledge of this matter

I'm not sure what the results would be, because I've never tried it. But, I'm not sure if I'd want to be smoking something that was treated with hormones. If I were willing to, I think I'd be more interested in treating with some sort of steroids.

No thanks! I like my food and my ganja 100% organic.

How many times does this come up...

Assuming that the plant's roots can even uptake the active component of birth control pills...

Assuming that the plant has metabolic processes that are compatible with this substance...

Assuming that you really want to expose yourself to an unknown dose of hormones...


Please just stick to PLANT ferts?

I wouldn't swallow contraceptive pills myself, so I'm hardly likely to feed them to my plants :hippy:

What is the fascination with putting bizarre shit on cannabis to make it grow faster?

Doesn't it grow fast enough already?

Apparently not.
What I find the most entertaining about all the threads about using birth control pills, urine, menstrual blood, food coloring, etc. is that most of the people trying to do these things are the ones who don't have the most BASIC aspects of growing figured out yet, and would not benefit at all even if they DID work. It's like the concept of adding CO2 to a room that has insufficient light, all the while feeding with Sam's Choice (walmart store brand) tomato food...

another good question would be if used the birth control pill/water for germination would there be a higher chance of female

Im gonna try watering one of my plants in vegging stage with the birth control if the bud tastes like shit ill just water cure it and turn it into hash

[MasterKief]

Wow. I'm interested in seeing how it turns out. Kudos to you for being daring/experimental I guess!

[TheGanjaKing420]

whose birth control will you be stealing to conduct this?

I'm no scientist, but I don't imagine that estrogen will have anything to do with determining the gender of the plant. Estrogen, after all, is not a plant hormone.
