possibly, please note I said 'possibly', that rumor may have started because alcohol is based on sugars, that can be beneficial in the final stages of growth, but I personally would NOT use it, as alcohol would definitely kill beneficial organisms, etc. in the soil ... bad idea ... 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 ... "it's not nice to fool with Mother Nature" ... my personal caveat: "keep it simple, stupid" ... :smokin:
