PANELA,RIBOFLAVIN, and plant health

[bonecarver_OG]

there is many sources of riboflavin in nature, one of them is Panela - concentrated, crystalized sugar cane juice.

why use riboflavin in your plant nutricion regime?

The role of riboflavin as an elicitor of systemic resistance and an activator of a novel signaling process in plants was demonstrated. Following treatment with riboflavin, Arabidopsis thaliana developed systemic resistance to Peronospora parasitica and Pseudomonas syringae pv. Tomato, and tobacco developed systemic resistance to Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and Alternaria alternata. Riboflavin, at concentrations necessary for resistance induction, did not cause cell death in plants or directly affect growth of the culturable pathogens. Riboflavin induced expression of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes in the plants, suggesting its ability to trigger a signal transduction pathway that leads to systemic resistance. Both the protein kinase inhibitor K252a and mutation in the NIM1/NPR1 gene which controls transcription of defense genes, impaired responsiveness to riboflavin. In contrast, riboflavin induced resistance and PR gene expression in NahG plants, which fail to accumulate salicylic acid (SA). Thus, riboflavin-induced resistance requires protein kinase signaling mechanisms and a functional NIM1/NPR1 gene, but not accumulation of SA. Riboflavin is an elicitor of systemic resistance, and it triggers resistance signal transduction in a distinct manner.

Nice, where can you buy some of this stuff, sounds expensive?

 

[bonecarver_OG]

man panela is the most cheapest sweetener there is - look at the import shelfs in the big supermarkets - should be where central america products are. they use it for many things...

but its also used in many flowering aditives mixed with molases

peace!

 

[Riboflavin]

I like this thread.

 

[bonecarver_OG]

hehehe thanks mate!

 

[Dank Sinatra]

so do you have like a DIY "Honey" or "molasses" mix, like with the amounts of yucca and aloe extract and the different sugars to mix up? humboldt nutrients honey is like 84 bucks a gallon, i would love to make my own mix lol

Riboflavin = vitamin B2 ... WOW! this means that i was right!!
i crush a vitamin-B-complex pill once in a while and put it in the water for the plants!
also when i clone i crush a pill and use it to help root formation, since i can't afford a proper rooting hormone i just give them a little help...

 

[*mistress*]

............

 

[bonecarver_OG]

:d adding raw grains to the coco can lead to root rot etc from fermentation, its highly adviceable to compost for that kind of aplications. then again i dont recomend adding compost to coco since its interfers with the ph..

also i think it might NOT be a good idea to use pills destined to human consumpotion, since they use a lot more ingredients than just the main one, and some of those could be harmfull for the plants.

 

[FrankRizzo]

Interesting read. Does this mean I don't get to waste my money on some $100 dollar a gallon nute with a pretty label? Damn.

lol

 

[Normannen]

tell you what. the B-complex pills i use are pure B-vitamins or else i would have seen detrimental effects on my plants or a diminishing of yield or something like that. however i've never used a costly nute or brand for my plants. i make compost in my backyard or i buy compost at the garden shop and the plants are just doing fine...again i'm a medical user i don't shoot for the big bud production

 

[bonecarver_OG]

just be carefull what pill u use

 

[Normannen]

LOL i sure WON'T be using my dad's viagra
PS i don't know if he does use viagra, it's just for funzies

 

[*mistress*]

......

 

[bonecarver_OG]

well the problem with that method is it would INTERFERE strongly with any current coco growing method. coco is not soil, but still its a live material, but i would recomend to ferment any aditives like that before adding them.,

this will increase the possibility of uptake by the plant, since it wont be necesary to wait for the bacteria to do their job IN the soil.

im not going to recomend anything that is for organic culture since that is not a coco specific method.

but thats it as i said, for coco i would not recomend it.

but for organic soilgrowing, im not even going to have an opinion about it.

coco is a hydroponic medium better keep it like that for most benefit of medium

peace

just be carefull what pill u use

I just thought of a way to get guaranteed sensi!

Seriously though I think crushing pills to give plants is just silly, they dont want that!

 

[Normannen]

i say what i say because i know what i say, or i wouldn't.
i just give them vitamines, and they are in the same form as "plant vitamines" that are sold for the big buck here in the stores.
i know they like them so yeah sure think whatever dude.

I watched a guy pour one of those lil 5hour energy shot drinks into 5 gallons of water and water his crop with it. Said he does it every two weeks. His end product always looks good so I wasn't about ta tell him he's wrong. IDK. To each his own I guess.
