Can I Put Lemon Drops In My Hydro Plant To Make It Taste Like Lemons.

& If I Do Will It Hurt The Plant. My Plant Is About A Week Old.

wow..... no dont do that. lemon is very acidic and you'll burn the shit out of your plants if you pour lemon juice on them... ph will go way low.

Stick to the basics man. It tastes fine the way it is. If you really want some lemon flavor, grow some JH from Nirvana. It smells like lemons when its budding... :)

Agreed, that would make your PH plummet like crazy. And if you used a safe amount, it wouldn't be enough to change the flavor. I saw this pineapple flavored stuff at the hydro shop, and was curious to try it. Anybody have any experience with it?

Kinda sounds like it could be like what food coloring would do. Ever do that with celery or anything as a little kid? Put some food coloring in the water or whatever and after a while the plant will soak it up and it runs through the plant, changing its color.. Someone should make a grow like that on here! A food coloring... colored marijuana plant.

I officially volunteer for this! Colored grow... wait. I dont know what to call it but I've been planning on trying it but never had the opportunity... till now. I didnt want to waste any good weed if something goes wrong but I just started some bagseed and I'm gonna do all kinds of experiments on them. I'll make sure to use natural food coloring though... and let someone else try it first haha.

From what I've read, the food coloring won't absorb through the roots. But, I've read that if you cut the plant at the end of harvest and stick it in a jug full of colored water, the plant will draw the color up through it's stem(like celery does). Hmm...I might try that this harvest. If i do, i'll take some pics if it works. :cool:

Hahaha. That'd be sick to have crazy colored buds! Yeah, someone should definitely try this. If not, then I definitely will. Cane, if you get a bagseed male, you could try that and other grow methods without feeling bad, or just have a simple bagseed grow on the side. But I was thinking, it wouldn't work in soil absorbing through the roots, but what about a hydro system?

iv tried pineapple rush from general hydro. its a sweetner. no real pineapple flavor. it just uses pineapple extract for the sugers. i use it the last 3-4 weeks of flowering, and it makes the buds dense and crystlized. of course a good strain helps with all of that too.
