Aspirin Seems To Have "Cured" My Sickly/Dying Plants

Works either way. I prefer the drench. By the way, two years later I finally found out it was broad mites causing the problems. Broad mites inject a toxin into the plants as part of their digestive process, and this is what damages the plants. Aspirin mitigates these problems quite dramatically. However, obviously it doesn't kill broads, just makes some of the symptoms go away. Had a loss of odor, but everything else seemed normal. Still had to treat for broad mites of course.
I have used aspirin as high as 3 tablets per gallon with no ill effects.
You talking about using colloidal silver? Idk....
I thought ethylene was more of a "aging" hormone verses something related to males...
My personnel opinion would be to use items like crab meal, willow water, aloe vera etc.... I know this thread is originally on coco but use to your content.
Little light reading...

Check out the book Ethylene in Plant Biology, if you snoop around you can find it.

I grow in organic soil. I read about the asprin and added 1/2 cap in gallon of water. Watered the plants yesterday, they are about 3 to 4 weeks old. Checked this morning and I can tell you that the leaves were up and very happy, almost like they all had hard ons this morning. Like viagra for cannabis plants. I'll continue through this grow of white jones and bubblelicious. Also use Fox Farm liquid nutes at 1/2 of recommended dosage only once so far. I do believe the asprin had a positive impact so far.
Yup. Mine get "hard ons" within 12 hours of an aspirin drench. If you're plants are "draggin" for whatever reason, aspirin will make them happy again.

Ah, really? Do I understand that you're saying if you use it in sufficiently high doses, then you can cause sexual changes or reactions similar to, say, colloidal silver, or giberillic acid (sp? giberrellic? giberillic? jibber jabber!)? I know that ethylene gas can do all sorts of things to different types of plant parts, reproductive parts (fruit), for example. But I don't know a *thing* about how aspirin might work with or against that.
I see you've gone on to provide some links. Workin' mah brainz!
Great to know. Unfortunately, aspirin provided no such relief when I had a bout of root aphids.
You got rid of the broad mites, yes? Do you think the aspirin caused the loss of odor, or the broad mites, or a combination of issues?

so will the asprin make my ladies grow hermie or is it safe to use ??
Definitely the Broads caused loss of odor. Had them for almost three years, and herb didn't smell. Haven't noticed any ill effects from aspirin. Doesn't get rid of RAs, but will strengthen plants resistance to diseases vectored by them.
SAFE!
Ok ... so whats a safe dosage of 325 mg asprin for a 1 gallon jug to use as foliar .... & if its a different dose for drenching ???
theres a member here stress test .... but hasn't check in in quite awhile ... but he was a firm believer in using asprin & he implemented it into his every day feed schedule .
I'm going to go back & see if i can find his schedule & post it .

Heres his thread ....https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=223183
& i'll post his nute schedule .
seems to mix 16 gallons of nute juice .... & he uses 16 asprin .... so 1 per gallon ???
& i'll post his nute schedule .
but his recipe is a consentration to be mixed with plain water .... so i'm still not sure how much to add per gallon .

I've been using one 325mg tablet/2 gals water, but others are reporting good response with a 1:1 rate, so go for it! One aspirin per gallon water should be ok, methinks.
One tablet (325Mg.) per gallon works fine. In my experience, drench works much better than foliar. You see results very fast. It's a way of inoculating your plants against disease and has no ill effects.
Gotta love digging up old threads. Don't worry xmobotx, aloe FTW! I don't have any aspirin, or any pills for that matter, on hand and will be going this route
I have no doubt that aloe is beneficial. It contains salicylic acid, plus many enzymes and vitamins. Scientists have discovered over 150 nutritional ingredients in Aloe vera. There seems to be no single magic ingredient. They all work together in a synergistic way to create healing and health giving benefits. The ten main areas of chemical constituents of Aloe vera include: amino acids, anthraquinones, enzymes, minerals, vitamins, lignins, monosaccharide, polysaccharides, salicylic acid, saponins, and sterols.

However, I have never used it, so don't know anything about dosing, etc. I find the aspirin convenient, and never grow without it, as it has many additional benefits, some of which are still being discovered, including as a growth hormone, it stimulates the SAR response.
Here is the newest information on aspirin for plants:
Salicylic acid is a known plant growth hormone:
"Salicylic acid (SA) is a phenolic phytohormone and is found in plants with roles in plant growth and development, photosynthesis, transpiration, ion uptake and transport. SA also induces specific changes in leaf anatomy and chloroplast structure. SA is involved in endogenous signaling, mediating in plant defense against pathogens.[4] It plays a role in the resistance to pathogens by inducing the production of pathogenesis-related proteins.[5] It is involved in the systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in which a pathogenic attack on one part of the plant induces resistance in other parts. The signal can also move to nearby plants by salicylic acid being converted to the volatile ester, methyl salicylate."
