I want to feed MSG (monosodium glutamate) to my cannabis plants, what are your thoughts on that?

@Dirt_Wizard

contributing it to the discussion up front as a starting point. I find this kind of confusing, if you want to start a dialogue about a subject that you’re interested in and want to talk to others about, I think that showing your cards first is generally the way to do it, rather than being evasive. Otherwise it feels like a test or game of some sort, which maybe people don’t want to interact with, even if they’re interested in the same subject.

So you mean I should do it kind like this…

7th Inning Stretch.....Everything you wanted to know about stretch and more

To be clear this statement is mostly correct. Please forgive me if I am coming across as harsh. That is not my intention. But the reverse can be done for sure. You can easily take a short stocky plant and make it very lanky with light. Also Just blue light without red and far-red will make plants abnormally short. So you can control the lankiness within reason with light, even with super-stretchy plants. Also, you can manipulate plant hormones to make the world stretchiest plant, short…

What is the importance of far red light?

Here’s a video you may like, this is sound info. This should give you a good base of understanding of Far red light. How Does Red And Far-Red Light Impact Crops? I would like you to meet my main man Bruce! [Far-red: The Forgotten Photons] There are other uses for red and far-red light in terms of photoperiodism and flowering response. Research “night break” and “end-of-day” far-red light treatments, as well as the other topics. Cannabis flowers due to changes in the night lengt…

A little bit about surfactants in general

There are different types of surfactants; nonionic, cationic, anionic, and zwitterionic (amphoteric) types. Their charge or absence thereof dictates several effects. Nonionic detergents like many polyoxyethylene derivatives work well with high ion concentrations (especially calcium) and may complex potassium. The polyoxyethylene part is not readily degraded but serves as a moistener in the soil (it maintains a fine film of water on the soil particles). They are relatively harmless and gentl…

How to make your own clearex solution and the science behind doing so

I posted this in the Hydro section because I feel it is most useful in hydro but this concept can be used in all mediums. When growing hydroponic products it is common in the industry to do a final treatment before picking up the crop in which nutrients are removed from the hydroponic solutions. While in most cases this is achieved by passing RO water through the system it is true that passing water with a very low osmotic pressure can make the plants absorb larger amounts of water than what we…

The ins and outs of PYTHIUM

Pythium Pythium is a recurring problem for all horticulture and it has been of particular significance in the Hydroponic systems now used for the production of lettuce and tomatoes. From our observations, it seems to be an increasing problem and we hear the symptoms described quite regularly. If this is the case it may be due to the increased use of re-circulating systems or, more worryingly, to the emergence of stronger strains of the fungus which are more resistant to the normal prophylactics…

Plant patents, trademarks, what are they and how do they work, Let’s discuss facts

I am no expert on this topic. You really need to be a high level lawyer to sort through it all. But we can give it a hell of a try… Please feel free to add more facts and correct anything that may be wrong, but, please cite everything you may claim, so we can see the source of your claims. Please do your best to refrain from adding an opinion without at least citing the source for that opinion. It would be best if we can keep this as fact-based as possible. NOTE: These…

Will yellow light inhibit the growth of Cannabis?

I posted this on one of the biggest international forums 2 years ago. Not one member there responded …LOL We will try it here. Open to all discussions on this topic. I read yellow light (580–600nm) light appears to inhibit lettuce growth. Does anyone know if yellow light has the same effect on cannabis? [Dougher and Bugbee (2001) concluded that an increased proportion of ‘yellow’ light (λ580–600 nm) was responsible for a decrease in lettuce yield, perhaps due to suppression …
