Experimental Grow

Today is Day 1! When the seeds bust out of the soil I will start taking pictures.

For those who don't know what I am doing yet, I have mixed Gatorade and V8 juice to my water to see if it has any effect on the grow. The two seeds were put into soil this morning and are now sitting on my window sill.

Why Gatorade and V8 Juice?

I use that mix for my legal plants like tomatoes etc. the gatorade has electrolytes that keep the plants base stem erect and strong. but with pot since it has a lot of sugar and things added i dont know how that will effect it. i feel that V8 is just liquid compost from veggies and fruit. itll have a lot of minerals and vitamins that could maybe be beneficial. like i said, experimental grow

it also has a lot of salt that will burn your roots if you dn't flush it out with heavy watering.
Plants do not require electrolytes, animals do.

im liking your post only because that movies hilarious. BUT its also wrong, they did not make a mixture thats all they gave the plants. my mixture is a tablespoon of both in a gallon of water. odds of it killing the plants are not very much.

electrolytes help with turgor pressure. and like stated in my previous post, not enough of it is being used to cause damage.

Let me be the first to say good luck friend. As one who likes to do expieramental grows, I will be following this one

well just put the seeds in some soil so hopefully updates will be extremely soon. im doing a journal on it if you want to keep updated
