Be my guest. But.......if there were benefits, farmers, gardeners, greenhouses, nurseries, etc., would be using it, but they aren't. I can't find a single piece of research supporting this, although I do know that in many cases, just spraying plants with water perks them up. Call me a skeptic if you will, as that's the scientific method. Skeptical until proven. OTOH, aspirin is proven. There is science behind it, and, in addition, I and generations of gardeners have seen it work. I do not believe aloe helps cannabis. There, I said it. So prove me wrong.......
You can be our guinea pig. Maybe you'll get written up in the scientific literature. Just remember the placebo effect IS real......
Is it real or effective on other organisms, though? Also, don't forget that much science and research begins with anecdotal evidence.
Conventional farmers do what's easy and what they're told they need to do. That's why everything has herbicides on and in it. That doesn't necessarily make it the better way to do things, though, at least not in my opinion. Of course, scale has something to do with it, but we all know agave can easily be grown at quite some scale, and aloe's been being used for years, so, who knows?
I do also use aspirin, and it is absolutely convenient to drop some tablets into the mix. I'm just keeping my mind open to other possibilities.
