ok i will try that just to see what happens. Does it have to be flat beer?hmmm... for variety, try stale, flat microbrews or dark beers. Bet they'll like that even better than the cheap stuff lol ;)

I am using an organic soil as well.
you got it brother, i also found out that the plants stood tall because of the micro nutes contained in the beer.Although it's the rare ganja farmer who has to fend off the dreaded slug, it turns out beer is the perfect weapon for them; place shallow cups right at ground level, so the rim is even with the ground around it, and fill these little puddles full of... beer. Slugs and snails can't resist, and swim to their beery death!
Yes, i am very surprised at the results i am getting. I used 1/2 cup of beer (bud light lime) to 1 gallon of water. The reason I picked that beer was because of its citrus content, as well as the yeast factor. I have found that the breaking down of the hop elements would be similar to the flowering process in marijuana. (Thus the curing or end result) I did a ph test and it was stable at 6.5. I don't think you could get any better than that with an experiment. Today my plant looks strong, it seems to really like it. What I will do next is test to make sure the mag. content is not to high, to much would bring the ph down to low.wasting good beer??? :)
sounds interesting though. I guess the question would be what dilution rate one would use and it may also depend on the amount of alcohol content in the beer. You did 12 ounces of brewski to a 1/2 cup of water with good results so that's a starting point.
I like doing stuff like this..experimenting and finding or disproving new ways to grow.....thus reducing or eliminating buying overpriced nutrients and amendments. It takes the definition of Homegrown to a higher level.
Yes, it seems to have worked really well. I tested the pH again and it remains steady at 6.5. You gotta love science.Oops. 1/2 cup of beer to a gallon of water, gotcha.
Beer has a pH of 4 or so. If your water is 6-7 I wonder if that would balance it out enough to hit the MJ sweet-spot of 6.5 . Limes are really low (2-3?) and I am not sure if the lime would unbalance things even further. I am not a big science guy but I do try and keep my pH balanced for growing purposes.
It appears you got a nice mix with what you did though so I can't argue with that. :)
I like it beer goggles it is!Nice. Maybe we need a new strain grown with beer called Beer Goggles.
Its no secret that urine contains everything plants need, its been that way in nature since animals first startedcan i run it through my belly filter first?
