Yes

Lmao

 

[Dank Bongula]

So are you saying carbonated water made your plant grow more than the other two?

It's possible.

It's also possible that it is just the plants. Even multiple plants of the same strain will grow differently, use nutes differently and have different stressors.

How long have you been growing with carbonated water and have you documented this over a number of grows?

 

[Star Dog]

Lmao

That's refreshing to read!

Just what brand do you use?

Mineral water has to have 250 ppm, otherwise its spring water.

Perrier is acidic, with a pH around 6, and it contains calcium, chloride, bicarbonate, fluoride, magnesium, nitrate, potassium, sodium, and sulfates.

San Pellegrino is acidic, with a pH of 5.6, and it contains the same minerals as Perrier, plus lithium, silica, and strontium.

Tonic water is best known as a mixer with gin, not ferts.

Co2 is bad for roots. Lol

 

[DCcan]

It actually acidifies the soil as well as displacing the oxygen.
Co2 is heavier than air also, so its staying in the soil for a while.
Have you tried Hydrogen Peroxide as an alternative to Perrier?

This looks like something the resident master organic grower could use. @Weedvin, check it out.

I bought one for my gf and man that thing is badass! Idk about plants but I love it. The lemon lime is the best flavor. Coke is prob the worst.

Probably because PepsiCo owns Soda Stream I should know because I use to work for them

The only carbonation I have ever given my plants is Bud Lime. Taking a wild guess here but thinking by the time I diluted it down with water and added nutes, there's probably not anything carbonated about it. But my ladies LOVE Bud Lime!!!

No shit eh? Well why didn't they do a Pepsi then?! I tried to use frost Gatorade and made a huuuge fucking mess of course. What was left in the bottle tasted fucking awesome tho lol

It's been at least 10 years since seeing a carbonated water thread. Always fun. We need a root tea thread for old time's sake.

Maybe 2835 has some experience in this?

I got curious after that statement so I did a quick Google search. Looks like Pepsi bought them out in 2018.

SodaStream To Release PepsiCo Concentrates

SodaStream, the Israeli-based home soda device manufacturer, was acquired by beverage giant PepsiCo in 2018 as part of a multi-billion dollar buyout, and despite not having a Pepsi or Coca-Cola concetrate, their legions of customers don’t seem the least bit phased. Sure, even Keurig sports...

I saw it on youtube. This one dude is just killing it with the carbonated water. He's doubled his yields since he started using carbonated water. He's using Bubly and can change the flavor of his weed by using different flavors of Bubly.

SodaStream sucks. It tastes nasty. Everyone I know that's gotten one had it on the counter for a short time and then stuck it in a closet never to be seen again. You'll find them at garage sales and Goodwill stores.
