I haven't found anything as far as using aspirin or any other medical drug in the soil of plants, has anyone ever tried using any of it? and will it work?
thanks all

I would venture to guess no, they wouldn't work. I think you are in on the other thread about ions, and root uptake, so I won't go over it. However, aspirin, benadryl, adn other pharmaceuticals are complex molecules, very large (compared to nutrient ions) and usually synthesized to match a human receptor. These aren't assimilated by the roots, and therefor probably won't help. Although, sucrose has been shown to be assimilated, as well as ascorbic acid, and some other TCA acids (citric acid, malic acid, OAA). So there may be a mechanism for aspirin (i doubt it though). On the subject, I like to use pure cane sugar to clear at the end, which has all the above acids in it at low conc. In soil it isn't necassary because the plants stash some of these in the soil for later. But in hydro I have found that it really helps them clear the fertilizer taste, and lets them continue to grow in the absence of fertilizers. Blah, blah, here I go again...

Why is it you always make me do that, hempgirl?

I would guess not, but try it out. Just don't blame me if something bad happens.

The other thing is I am not a girl, so where do I get it from? I don't talk a whole lot in real life, why so much here?
take care, HG

I didn't mean you were a girl. I meant that girls have a way about them to make guys babble plus in real life you see the person and you can tell by expression on the true meaning of a comment. here you take it in stride that people have good intentions.. make any sense?
guess that leaes the idea of giving my girls aspirin so I don't get a headache after smoking it.
