Yes it sure is a beautiful thing and there so many ways we can help improve one another, great to find all types of growers and to discuss cannabis with other cannabis supporters

anything specific you've learned you think would be a cool fact or a certain trick you learned i mean anything to get a growers topic going lol
Mine is
Salicylic acid acts as a natural plant hormone that sounds a "system-wide alarm bell".
Immune System Activation: When applied, the plant detects the SA and initiates defense responses, such as producing defensive proteins and fortifying cell walls.
"Memory" of Resistance: This process creates a "memory" of resistance, allowing the plant to respond much faster and more effectively if a pathogen or pest attack occurs later.
Reduced Need for Pesticides: By enhancing the plant's internal defenses, the need for chemical fungicides or pesticides is reduced.
Increased Cannabinoid Content: Some research indicates that SA treatment, particularly at specific concentrations, can also increase the expression of genes involved in THC synthesis, potentially leading to higher THC content.
How to Use Salicylic Acid
Salicylic acid can be applied as a foliar spray or a root drench. The optimal time for application is generally during the vegetative stage to build up defenses before the more sensitive flowering phase.
A common and effective concentration is around
1 mM (millimolar) of salicylic acid. For home growers, one simple approach using aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is:
- Mix: Dissolve one uncoated aspirin tablet (325 mg) in 1 gallon (approx. 3.8 liters) of water. Grind the tablet into a powder first to help it dissolve.
- Apply: Use this solution as a foliar spray every 2-3 weeks.
