The lightning makes nitrogen that's in the atmosphere available for the plants

So if the lake I live on is hit by lightning (which it is often), does that mean I can stop with my Calcium Nitrate and other Nitrogen derived products?
Hint: Nope. I still need to add N, even while mixing that N and the other elements to the electrically charged 64 PPM lake water. The lightning does not increase the PPM at all, let alone the N portion of it.

It’s the same with beer and wine... ppl not only buy but pay more for cool art on their products

did this my first run
diluted it actually, they looked nitrogen hungry.Damn near killed my plants lmao but they lived and i smoked my pee buds

Ive heard Nspecta from CSI humboldt address this, and In the beginning it was sort of true due to the manner the fems were created back in the day, its one of those stigmas that never really went away, even though fems are pretty stable by now.

But they are much more likely to throw male parts in my experience. I would say this is not bro-science, its genetics.

Genetics can make plants prone to turn hermaphrodite but feminising seeds using colloidal silver or similar methods can not. If you are going to make that claim, lets see it backed up with more than anecdotes.
"in my experience" "I would say its genetics"
Your post is a great example of bro-science.
As I have stated... eight years of both making and growing out at least two dozen strains that were feminized, and not one hermie. I'll back off on the 'broscience' on this one, only because we are literally turning a female plant 'male' for the process.
Once more though. 8 years. Dozens of strains. Some my own. Some not. Zero hermies.

Funny you say that, there is a member on here who wants to introduce electricity to plants via electrodes and zap the roots/plant or something', to stimulate them into growing?

nah just use 400v youll be fine
Well, I didn't consider a low-voltage and low-amperage stimulation for this comparison. I was speaking directly to the lightning thing.
I don't know and can't speak whether a low-wattage constant zap helps plants. That's another thing that doesn't happen in nature and which I wouldn't test myself.
If someone wants to put electricity to their plants, let them post clear and concise records of every detail of the experiment publicly, then I might weigh in. Until then, bathtub with 250V 50A.

so your saying 480V 30A wouldn't do the job? maybe the jalapenos will like it.make em more spicy
Read the first couple of posts there. Please do update me with the end results.

This is true, lightning is a natural nitrogen fixer, but the vast majority of nitrogen fixing is done by bacteria in the soil which turn atmospheric N into ammonia, which is then processed by other bacteria into nitrites that can be used by plants. Legumes and decomposers (like aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and fungi) also act as nitrogen fixers. Lightning's effect is negligible in the grand scheme of things.
Who would have ever thought that what started as a thread designed for mockery would turn into decent information that can be researched.
Fuck, from now on, I'm starting my threads like "Bleach on plants; it works! (do I have an N def?)".
