2 Aspirin and call me??
- Thread starter CLMonkey
- Start date
I have read somewhere that a 325mg aspirin to quart of water sprayed on plants triggers some kind of immune response. I might have read it in one of jm's posts, but cannot
remember exactly where. I was just wondering if anyone has tried, or even heard of doing this.
It's probably one of the things i heard about in the 70's when i was just learning how to grow. i dunno
I'm open for any and all feedback

Thank you ocho! good find!
I didn't like the part about turning them hermy, but the guy was using a lot more then 1 tab per gal. I'm going to keep searching for some proof either way on if it helps, or hurts.
I just don't want to go and spray my only girls, only to change them over and loose meds.
Thank you

ok i thought i would bring anyone who reads this up to speed. I have tried a 325mg tablet of aspirin to a gallon of RO and i have sprayed 1 out of my 4 tomato plants.
I know this isn't tomato network, but i didn't want to try on the only meds i have growing unless i knew it worked.
The tomato i sprayed did not seem to like it the first 2 days, but i continues to spray it every 3 days, and about the 2nd week i noticed that the leaves where getting thicker, along with the stalks. The fruit themselves where all splitting from fast growth, but we had way too much heat and rain early in the season, so that could have added to the splitting and even the ones i didn't spray had split.
As for taste of the tomato, i really didn't notice any taste difference, but i felt that that plant had a little meatier tomato.. i just got done frying some and they where good.
Sooo will monkey try aspirin on his girls? i want to, but i am going to wait till i have a larger grow that way if i kill one with it i'm not out of meds completely.
Feel free to add any experiences that you might have had with this. i will try it again next summer on a hot pepper plant and another type of local tomato and see what happens.
Thank you for helping monkey entertain this idea
peace to all
