Injection feeding?

I know this sounds crazy and at the risk of sounding like a complete noob but would it be possible to inject some type of thc or other cannnabonoids extract right into the stalk using a needle? It would be a natural thing found in the plant right? Would this kill or harm the plant or could this actually help? Currently I have been consistently staying above 25% thc with simple general hydroponics grow, bloom,micro,Kool bloom (bulking formula and ripening formula ).
I know some may be thinking why waste the Simson oil but in reality you would be spending no more on injecting them with that than other nutrients and and if it increases you % by 1 % then I would say it could be worth doing .
Again I'm sure it's a crazy idea. But hey I'm sure crazier things have happened

Question ... How do you know you hit the 25% THC mark?
Are you lab testing or what breeder info states. It seems that it would be difficult to know the content when smoking the end product , is it 18% or 22.3 % or ?

The choice of nutes really doesn't affect what the strains GENETICS will be.
With breeders , they cross / reverse cross and ENGINEER the end product strain .
All breeders look to produce that CUP WINNING strain . Its true that modern strain offerings are much more complex than a few years ago , but injecting plants with THC would be somewhat fruitless. There are easier ways to STIMULATE THC PRODUCTION.

UVA/UVB Light :

The sun produces much more light frequencies that cant be fully dupilcated indoors with
artificial light ( LED , HID , COB , etc. ) They are only using a small range of light radiation that is in NATURAL LIGHT. Some labs are experimenting with THC MANIPULATION.

Medical marijuana plants were exposed during the last 2 weeks at 12 hours continuous UVA UVB light exposure.

Over time 7 different strains all increased at least 5% over what they had tested without the UVA UVB lighting and the same as when we had exposed them for 12 hours under the ultraviolet lighting.

There is some small DIY additions you can do to increase some " sugar "
( reptile lights , UV leds , black light flouros , etc. )

Here is some helpful info :

UVB light also affects marijuana potency. The potency of high quality marijuana increases in direct ratio to the amount of UVB light it receives. This is very significant. In California, where the medical dispensaries operate in an unrestricted market; many dispensaries reject fall harvested outdoor material as inferior. They have found it lacks the potency of indoor crops and is a harsh smoke. However, when they were presented with marijuana grown outdoors but forced to ripen August 10, they accepted it as if it were indoor because of its high potency and lack of harshness. I think the harshness results from cool nights.


Below is a comprehensive list of photosynthesis measured at nano-meters

  • Chlorophyll A peaks at 430 nm blue and 662nm red
  • Chlorophyll B peaks at 453 nm blue and 642nm red
  • Chlorophyll synthesis peaks 435 nm and 445 nm blue and 640 and 675 nm red
  • Carotenoids primarily at about 450 nm in the blue and 475 nm in the blue-green range
  • Xanthophyll – 400-530 nm
  • Violaxanthin – 480 nm and 648 nm
  • UVB 280nm -315nm
  • UVA 315nm -380nm
  • 660 nm Deep Red: Best for Night Interruption
  • 730 nm Far Red: Promotes Flowering of Short-Day Plants (Not Photosynthetically Active)

I get my stuff tested through iron labs. Sent up 8 samples of gorilla glue 4 and consistently came back at 24.1-24.5 and my Bruce Banner 3 came back (6 samples sent) between 24.8 and 25.9.
I'm not sold on the whole uvb light. Ive heard both it increases thc and ive heard it damages thc. I've thought about adding it but with the uncertainty I passed for the time being although I'm sure I'll try it soon. But as for the injection this would be in addition to everything eles you can do. I know genetics and light intensity and spectrum, humidity, temp of air and water, nutes, co2 they all come into factor here but say you have successfully maxed out these or close there to. Could the plant potentially use this thc that's been injected? I think may try it for shits aND giggles worst case scenario it dies best case scenario maybe it increases thc content 1-2%
I'm sure it won't work but if ppl are successfully injecting sugars directly into the cannabis plants then I can't see a reason to dismiss the idea all together (not that you were)

Now that i think about it , pretty much all MJ nowadays is GMO !

Plants on sugar IV drips is looking like science fiction movies ! SWEET !

Is aeroponics and some hydro methods not the plant equivalent of injecting the plant ?

I would not waste bho or a good canna extract on trying to feed or inject it into the plant, maybe spraying warm bho onto fresh buds would help

UV`s and far blues seem to make most strains turn orange faster you can "cook" them, I`ve never been too sure if that ups the thc or the cbd, what I do like about the red hairs and such you can get by using intense blues on a plant half way to 90% into flower is that it changes it

So if your running 100% one strain and you want to add some variety then getting that "super veg" light and hitting one to 4 plants hard with it for 1 to 10 days can really make them change a lot

but there`s so many things that can cause the cannabinoid and terp mixes to change

bacteria and microbes in the plant and root zone make a difference too, I would hazard a guess that like humans, anything from 10% to 90% of what a plant smells like and what sugars it has in it is down to what bacteria/fungus is growing in and one it

I`ve noticed silicone and triacontanol can cause big changes, also I like to feed sugar or potassium sulphate for 1 to 4 weeks instead of just water when I "flush" seems to keep the bugs in root zone from coming up and eating all the sugars on my plants, lol

A plant can use sugars and starches to perform other plant processes. Simple sugar C6H12O6 is made in photosynthesis so simple sugar injectoin can be beneficial to a degree in some applications.
Injecting with THC to increase the THC? Just wipe your dab on the finished bud.

I've been finishing many of my plants 5 -7 days before harvest by giving them some mixed UV a@b with great results for the last 20 years

and recently found the UV light is an antique and worth heaps, its now chained to the roof beam

WEAR EYE PROTECTION

good luck
