[h=2]Airborne Chlorides[/h]Airborne salinity refers to the content of gaseous and suspended salt in the atmosphere. It is measured by the concentration in the air in units of µg/m3. Since it is the salt that is deposited on the metal surface that affects the corrosion, it is often measured in terms of deposition rate in units of mg/m2/day. The chloride levels can also be measured in terms of the concentration of the dissolved salt in rain water.
A number of methods have been employed for determining the contamination of the atmosphere by aerosol transported chlorides, e.g. sea salt and road deicing salts. The ‘wet candle method,’ for example, is relatively simple, but has the disadvantage that it also collects particles of dry salt that might not be deposited otherwise. This technique uses a wet wick of a known diameter and surface area to measure aerosol deposition as shown in the following Figure.

Haha... If you really want to experiment with the salt water, get some 100% natural sea salt and either use an ultrasonic humidifier or dilute it enough to spray directly on a plant.

Better yet, if you can get to the ocean, take about 5-10 gallons back with you :)

Ok fellows. Take 1/2 teaspoon of salt and add to a gallon of water. Water your plants with it. Come back and report what happens. Yes there is salt in the air. All us Marines know it and have smelled it and lived it. On board your weapon has to have even better care (if that is possible) and we cleaned and oiled regularly to prevent corrosion. However, the amount n the air is negligible in all reality. On the beach there are no plants. At the land/sea margin there are very few plants than can actually take salt water up and still thrive on rainwater.

Bottom line on my part - this would be the most micro of micronutrients. Salt kills plants. It does NOT enhance most plants and that includes pot.

ass fuck stop posting in here. I am not talking about watering plants with salt water. Read the fucking article i posted you god damn idiot. There is a difference between salt in water and chloride gas in the air you stupid backwoods fuck

That was my point about resin... It being a defensive mechanism... But I'm no botanist :)

I like how you go from "there is no salt in the air period" to "oh blah blah blah all us marines know there is salt in the air." You aren't a marine and you are filling this thread with contradictions. STFU and GTFO, HOORAH!

God damn, I even put a disclaimer in the original post... NO RETARDS TALKING ABOUT HOW SALT WATER IS BAD FOR PLANTS

That book alone increased my knowledge regarding the cannabis plant more than any "grow" book ever could have. And I have read several Marijuana growing books. It helps to understand the science behind the plant, and that book breaks down resin-producing plants and terpene production very well. Some of the chemistry in the book is way over my head, at least at the moment. I'm sure once I'm in Organic Chemistry II this fall I might be able to piece it together a little better...
