for some reason when i mention these ways of giving organic nutrients, people think im crazy.

eggs and soda arent bad nutrients. veg=eggs, flowering=soda. eggs keep all your leaves dark green and flourishing. soda has a lot of phosphoric acid in it, which the plant turns into phosphorus. you can srsly grow a successful plant with just eggs and soda i promise.

when i get around to taking pics, ill post my plant which was fed eggs thru veg and just recently started giving it soda, about a week ago. its been flowering for a while though, i just couldnt figure out what to give it. for a long long time its buds stayed super tiny, then when i started giving it soda its buds are getting a lot bigger and danker everyday.

ok here are some buds on my plant, remember what i said that for a while when it was flowering i didnt give it any nutrients..probably like 6 or 7 weeks :-? and its buds were very teeny, but just about a week ago or a little more i started giving it soda and its shown a lot of improvement. with the progress its making im pretty sure the buds will be worthy in 2-3 weeks or so. the black stuff on the leaves is from bugs in the past without using insecticide. ill take new pics of the buds in like a few days or so, and you guys can see what soda does.

Well looking at your pics I'd say that your plant is trying to finish by the roughly 30% dead pistils, so yeah I'd guess you have about 2 weeks left too.

However my girls look like yours after 1.5 weeks of 12/12, which leads me to believe you just spent a long time (6-7 wks?) proving that even though eggs and soda don't kill cannabis, it also doesn't aid in growth either.

Thanks for the info!

notice what i said: i didnt give it any nutrients at all for those 6-7 weeks and its buds werent even forming. then lately i started giving it soda. if i put it in 12/12 instantly and gave it soda right then and there, it would also look like how it looks now in 1.5 weeks. it was lacking phosphorus for like 6 weeks

i dont know what to think of this.
if you tell me your application of the eggs and soda
id be glad to try on 1 plant for shits'n'giggles.
do you dilute the soda?cook the eggs, crack'em into the pot and water in?
just sounds so fucked up, i hope this works well bc it would be hilarious
btw if i do this should I test whether cannabis preffers coke or pepsi?? Im a pepsi drinker

i used caffeine free pepsi. for the past week and a half about ive been doing about 3/4 of a shot glass of caffeine free pepsi in the morning every 2-3 days. i always water it with the pepsi. if you wanna apply the eggs, dig into the soil enough to where the egg can be buried to where it isnt seen, then stab the egg with a knife and get it all broken up and bury it. then water it after you apply and bury the egg. its as simple as all of that and it really works. when you use an egg on a vegging plant youll realize a HUGE difference in like 2 days. the leaves get a whole lot bigger and extremely dark green. soda works like molassess, you just notice the buds getting bigger.
 
I have a buddy who always adds a can of Dr Pepper to his reservoir the last week of bloom nutes. I always thought he was insane for doing it, but with all the sweeteners and such on the market, I am slowly revising my attitude. I can see the sugar and phosphoric acid helping, but what about caffeine and carbolic acid? I myself am trying GH's Floral Nectar to see if it helps. Kinda smells like cough syrup.

Roots breathe oxygen and you're pouring soda into the soil which is full of Co2. Sorry but that doesn't sound like a good thing, molasses works wonders though.

idk about the carbolic acid, but i use caffeine free soda. in the past ive used dry, ground up coffee beans in the soil and the caffeine effected the plant weirdly. it made the leaves really shiny. caffeine is probably like speed for weed. makes them grow faster but theres a crash. the plant was growing a bunch of 7-bladed leaves but then it went down to 5-bladed and 3-bladed.
