mmmm...hey odium33....today we are having hot dogs and french fries for lunch.......gonna toss the left overs in the res as my PH is running a little high......Im sure the protein and the NPK values in the hot dogs will also help to build big strong plants! LOL!! 
As my ladies mature and enter their final phase of life, i realized rather than a flush, my plants should get Lipator. It helps to keep the plants cholesterol low. Metoprolol helps keep blood pressure down, as well as treating hypertension. Warfarin, a blood thinner, (same as rat poison, just a different dose) to help prevent blood clots.
There are others but i dont want to give all of AN's secret ingredients away. This is the reason Oregon is up their ass right now, they imported the prescription drugs at a discount from Canada, which is a big no no here in the US.

Oh, so you don't know.
At least, if this thread was in the "Harvesting & Processing" forum, I (or someone else) might have already mentioned it.
That is, I've heard of dealers (the gram - oz variety) soaking non-frosty schwag & middies into Coke to get a sparkly, crystally dank look. Won't work with Diet Coke, only sugary drinks. Never tried it, never seen it.

Had a crazy idea today can coca cola be used as ph down i did a test in a 20L bucket and got the ph down to 6 with 5 cap fulls am i insane
Could all that sugar be good for the plant?
i suggested root beer cause it works better then coca cola, not a 50 pound bag of molasses . my name is dr shroom and i know everything and if i dont understand it or get internet bitch slapped ill find a way to make another point so that i sound smarter and people will like me. this is a post for someone who might run out of ph down or doesnt have molases or just wants to try something new out,not whats the best deal on a 50 pound bag of molasses and real root beer that noone sells anymore should have this and that because wikipidia says it.

this is not to soak your weed in this is as a ph down / molasses substitute for root absorbtion. but one moron decided he will tell everyone he throws in his lipitor and viagra into his mix sarcastically just to make his point that root beer is nonsense . next will be a lesson in grammar cuekkkkkkkkkkkkk
Actually this sounds like a good idea, Ph down is expensive, Coke is not. You add carbs to your res anyway, so this is killing two birds with one stone. At $1 a liter it's ph-down and carbs in one, which is certainly cheaper than molasses. With airstones in the res the Co2 would be bubbled out quickly, and Coke is easier to find than Ph down. I'll give it a shot.

My eyes are glazed over. I'm spacing out. This is too much advanced information for me, I've hit the limitation to my knowledge.
I'm staying with traditional pH down.
I'm staying with traditional pH down.
Its primarily water an high fructose corn syrup, so it should be absorbed by the plant quite easily (not a terribly complex carb at all.) The fewer chemicals I have to buy to achieve a simple goal the happier I am.
I love Maxibloom powder for this reason too, it's a great bloom food (with good levels of N) and also drops the PH in the res very well. I'd rather put in one cheap product than 3 expensive ones, especially when the end result is the same.

lol.
just data..., gardeners can make own choices...here is data by ed on roots & c02:
c02 for roots (external link)
maybe, try vinegar....chem formula in post 39 of this thred...Lazyman said:
it doesnt lower ph much... it is mainly used (in horticulture) as a chelating agent that stabilizes, or buffers the solution to keep micro-nutrients avaialble to plant, when held in solution w/ competing cations...
the ph of molasses is genrally 5.0-6.0... see gh's 'bio-thrive' line for ferts w/ molasses included. the bio thrive bloom @ 2-4-4 provides molasses & other essential elements, in chelated form... there is also sugars & 'plant extracts' included. works nicely when mixed w/ water solubles, like maxi-b...
hope this help

I dont know why ive been arguing, you are both correct, plants benefit from humans spending 100X on them than they should. (this is AN's business model), and plants benefit from fake rootbeer, because the vanilla extract and K are in very minute quantities. Sure this application is 100X more expensive than even what a growshop would offer, but its a good idea.
Ed knows All, writing about gardening is a substitute for actually gardening, as there is no such thing as first hand knowledge.
Carbonated water is used throughout the horticultural industry as an accepted way of raising CO2 levels. Its not the type of suedo-science-bullshit obviously based on garbage science, that a non grower, yet prolific writer, (like Ed) would end up perpetuating. There are many many many legitimate horticulturalist who spray there plants with carbonated water.
Perhaps you mean they spray their plants with C 0 2, because that is what you always type. I dont know what C Zero Two is, maybe you are right. Then again maybe you are getting Zero Oxygen as you continue to make the same mistake.

Anyone here ever met Ed in person? I not only wonder how this guy got out of bed and started his day to write a book, but I really have to begin wondering how this guy got out of bed and formed a half-coherent sentence.
Still, gotta love the old man when he sneaks up from behind and grumbles "WHO'S GOT THAT LIT JOINT???"

Wouldn't the potassium sorbate kill your micro herd?

Good call never thought about that. (That's the preservative used in soft drinks, for those who haven't caught on yet.)
