This all falls apart unless you have a ready source of fresh coconut water .... the tinned stuff has additives

Coconuts take a long time to grow so expect the price to go up as China buys it all .... in the UK it's doubled in price in 4 months

I was never advocating buying coconut water. It's impractical. It's also impractical to buy coconuts for the water. This thread was mainly intended to be an interesting FYI thing about a plant, part of it's particular attributes, etc.

If you are buying them anyway and dumping the water, I would use it straight in my feed water or a carb source for tea.

it also contains colchicine, which may have some unexpected side effects. Not to mention, putting that on your compost under a hot light may cause a slight aroma. But yeah it is interesting, and if growing out door, in an area with coconuts, it would be very interesting to play with.

Coconut water is great. I have many coconut trees. I love drinking the coconut water over ice. The weed loves this juice too! I have a few different coconut trees, different sizes of coconuts - they all taste pretty much the same!

I did some looking and could not find any references to the colchicine content in coconuts.

I'm somewhat familiar with colchicine but was not aware there was some in coconuts. First time I've heard that.

The levels are low, but they are present. I was looking at coconut water as a possible soak for older stubborn seeds, and decided against due to the (albeit it minimal) level of colchicine.
I'd throw a link up, but to be honest I shared it with a couple of people and then deleted it because I gather too many links to keep a library of them.
