Got a link?
funny, it says it rejuvinates rose bushes, but use it to kill weeds too.
what's an 'sar response'?This isn't my thread and I'm not gona come here spouting my thoughts..
But increasing temp at canopy obviously speeds transpiration and a little extra vac to suck shit out the roots, as long as their feet stay cool, all is dandy, this prevents evaporation in the rootbed and allows concentrations\ec and what not to be lower. also effectively reducing the side effects of root bound plants. What yiur suggesting with ammonia or whatever really isn't a good idea. And frankly increasing those "openings" is unnecessary. Though inducing a sort of sar response would be interesting
Sorry, didn't mean to imply it, just poking fun. Speaking of which.....
The systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a "whole-plant" resistance response that occurs following an earlier localized exposure to a pathogen.what's an 'sar response'?
it was just a scientific study that mentioned ammonium as playing a role in increasing apoplasm rates. not like i was gonna pour ammonium in my pots ;p just shooting the breeze.
Sodium Absorption Ratio or Na concentration relative to Ca and Mg charge.what's an 'sar response'?
Keyplex is piggybacking on that with their products, same with DG with their ProTekt.The systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a "whole-plant" resistance response that occurs following an earlier localized exposure to a pathogen.

When's the last time you gave dem puppies a bath?Why don't your plants smell? And mine do?
Curious?
I grow with ZERO stress, can't do that outside. I am very anal about the tweaked conditions in my garden to the point where I will turn on a humidifier if the RH drops 2 points, most growers wouldn't even take noticeWhy do my plants smell so much?
This year I grew with as little inputs as possible, straight into the ground.
They were watered weekly, but sometimes not. They soil was worked with various organic amendments prior to planting and then they were given water for the rest of the season.
I could smell them about 50ft away...

I used aspirin in one of the teas I madehere's a good 'food for thought'
1)activation of SAR requires the accumulation of endogenous salicylic acid (SA)
2)Salicylic acid also uncouples oxidative phosphorylation, which leads to increased ADP:ATP and AMP:ATP ratios in the cell
yep if i read things right you can give your plants aspirin furthermore i think it would be best in flower. i see more relations to phosphates than anything else.

i'm so bored!
i think it would be based on the weight and/or size of the plant.how much aspirin did you use? apparently we need a 5x-10x excess and the good thing it seems self regulating. come on qwizo chime inI used aspirin in one of the teas I made
3 aspirin to a 5 gallon bucket, the tea also had hops in iti think it would be based on the weight and/or size of the plant.how much aspirin did you use? apparently we need a 5x-10x excess and the good thing it seems self regulating. come on qwizo chime in
yep and now we're circling around how much would be needed to see a notably beneficial difference. for a really large plant i would think we'd need a larger solution. 3 pills in a gallon is a really small %. care to try a monster dose? maybe a foliar spray?Salicylic acid us a natural ingredient in some plants that are used for organic teas, not to mention that I've seen aspirin utilized in other ways.
Experiment with it and see what happens, best way to learn.yep and now we're circling around how much would be needed to see a notably beneficial difference. for a really large plant i would think we'd need a larger solution. 3 pills in a gallon is a really small %. care to try a monster dose? maybe a foliar spray?
nb:from what i read it just turns excess atp into the precursors awaiting use.
