Watering with coconut water?

Coconut water isn't going to hurt your plants but it's not going to do anything super special. It's not going to magically increase your yield or make the end product some crazy fire.
i am in week 5 of flower i have 3 big plants maybe i will start feeding one coconut water til the end and then see if it makes any difference

It also seems like you'd need more of it too. I just don't get some of this thinking.

How could you measure any difference made?
Im trying to know more because I have a lot of coconut water available to me (pure 100%), for cheap. So this would be interesting for me.

below is a study in hydroponics, If you go to page 7 you see the big increase in yield for lettuce (which, i know, its not cannabis)


The addition of coco-water had significantly increased the length and diameter of leaves; plant height; percent foliage N and K content; length, fresh and oven-dry weight of roots; and yield relative to without coco-water addition.


I have one plant (clone) in veg that I was going to kill. Ill probably give her coconut water to test and compare with the rest. Plus, from what i have read, coconut water seems to work better on veg.

When I'm looking to really boost my plants, I snap into a Slim Jim!!!!

I'll get the XXXL, and use it like a whip to smack the plants around, really get their juices flowing. Then I start snapping pieces off and jamming them into the soil while screaming like a lunatic :cuss:
