| Re: Can I use lemon extract to add flavor to the buds?
Hi there, I don't want to meddle, but I cant find the alledged other topics on extracts to give to our babies. Too bad this shit has gone bad like this... Can't mods clean up the topic or close it? I but a bag of mintthee in the water i am about to give to my plants. It makes the Ph drop to 6,2 without having to add acids. That is the only reason why. Some people also use green tea or fruit tea. My weed mayb slightly taste like mint, but I think it is my mind playing tricks with me. Other people say my weed has a smooth flavour but thickles the throuth. Some people out here also add sugarbeet juice or sugarcane sirup in the last week of flushing, but I don't believe in it. The reason for adding lemon juice is unclear to me, cause if I would add something to influence taste it would be sugar. Sugar is made by the plant itself by exracting carbon out of CO2... So in my humble oppinion you can make your weed sweeter by adding more CO2 (which is good for growth too, our plants consist of >50% carbon remember). Out here the wildest rumours are going around of people adding water with bubbles, sprite and even beer in the last week... Idiots, CO2 levels of 8000+ mg/l are deadly for plants btw!!! Grtz $iR

@ Zpyro: what is your source for that statement? For someone with over 2000 posts you talk too fast in my opinion. You took a minute to think about it? Or are you just stuck in routine, no longer thinking and learning, just copying? Check this one out: http://forum.grasscity.com/general-i...ml#post5036713 post 59 to 61 I've come here to learn and discus, not hear about your opinion on CO2 and plant roots. If you are 100% sure about what you say, also proove me on the other thread why plz (don't use outdated books or articles, science has come a long way...) Grtz $lick

I'm offended that you would even suggest that I stop thinking or learning. Right now I'm taking a shit and STILL reading (other than this thread). Every single day I'm reading and learning new things; how dare you imply otherwise. I base my statements on simple plant biology. Leaves use CO2, roots use O2. Argue all you want with/for those CO2 tabs, the simple fact is that roots don't use CO2 (or, at least enough to actually make a difference, if you really want to split hairs). Furthermore, you might want to read up on posts in that thread other than your own. Quote:
"Should I add C02 to my hydroponic reservoir? I noticed an aquarium product called Nutrafin CO2 Natural Plant System. It adds CO2 to the water. Would it help the plants in my hydroponic drip system, which has a small reservoir? Steve, Internet Adding CO2 to the water will not help the roots and in fact will hurt them. Plants use CO2 when they photosynthesize, the process which results in the production of sugar. Photosynthesis occurs only in areas of the plant that receive light and contain chlorophyll, the source of plants' green color. It is absorbed through pores called stomata. Roots have no chlorophyll and don't ordinarily come in contact with light so they have no use for CO2. Plants use the sugars they have manufactured as a source of fuel. Their metabolism is similar to the method used by animals. Sugars, which are hydrocarbons, are chemically "burned" in a controlled reaction that occurs when they are combined with oxygen. Energy is released and the waste product CO2 is created. Both CO2 and oxygen dissolve in water. When water is saturated with CO2 it cannot absorb oxygen so the roots have no source of the element oxygen, which is needed for their metabolism. This weakens the roots and promotes the growth of anaerobic bacteria, which thrive in oxygen-free environments and attack roots. When water in a reservoir is circulated, it releases the dissolved CO2 to the air and dissolves oxygen. That's why circulating water in a reservoir using a pump is beneficial to roots: It removes the CO2 and supplies the water with oxygen. Nutrafin CO2 Natural Plant System Tablets spur the growth of photosynthetic underwater plants." Now if you want to discuss this, not only should you make your own thread, but you should also reserve the smartass comments for when you're not wrong. Oh, and don't use advertisements as proof either, you're better off just making things up yourself. Bring some actual, scientific proof and we'll talk.
