Why? Seriously why? Sure, you could give it some purple drank, mountain dew, coconut water, some Acaí berry extract, raspberry ketones, green coffee extract, donkey semen, hippie piss, but fucking why would you do that, ever?

Ask yourself if it is NECESSARY first. If it is not NECESSARY, then don't do it. Unless you like complicating your life; if that's your hobby then charge forth, young knave! (not being ageist, I just thought it was poetic) otherwise ; STAHP!

Good luck, fat harvests and all that.

that`s a pretty low dilution rate

if you want something cheaper than molasses then dextrose powder works

date sugar, honey, aloe vera gel, cane juice

there`s so many sugar/potassium rich things you could try if you wanted to, I mean some people use orange or lemon juice

plus don`t people like to cut down the cal/mag and phosphorus near the end ?

I find potassium and sugar based stuff is best but I`ve seen people use potassium phosphate right till the end

normally I`ll go to just dextrose or potassium sulphate for the last 1 to 4 weeks

nah unless you live in thailand its pricey stuff

but superdrug or some kinda health store sells dextrose in a giant tub for sod all, grape sugar normally loaded with potassium sugars and such, cheaper than molasses and as its a powder its easy to spoon into the water and mixes up easy

also if you have bugs in your soil dextrose is better than plain water as it stops the bugs getting hungry during "flush" and eating your plants sugars

Hence my why why why post about the coconut water. I use molasses. I just like to overreact sometimes. I don't flush. Poop, ever. I don't flush plants, either. Just kidding, I don't poop.

I agree, but remember, all the knowledgewe have today started with someone taking a new risk.

I sort of agree, and sort of disagree with that.

Of course I'm not mad if you do whatever you're into, my initial response was just a little literary flair. :D

Coconut water contains enzymes that are very beneficial, but If you are already adding folic acids and enzymes through your nute lineup there's really no point.

Coconut water is full of enzymes, minerals and cytokinins. Great for plants.

Use fresh coconut water from a coconut. Bottled coconut water is pasteurized. All the beneficials are killed off. When you buy coconuts make sure to shake them. If they sound full of water they're good. If they sound like there's very little water in them, they have started going bad.

It's 1cup of fresh coco water to 5 gals of water.

Check to see how much sodium is in the coconut water. That sodium will definitely harm your plants bro.〽️fume

Sodium is not an essential element for plants but can be used in small quantities, similar to micronutrients, to aid in metabolism and synthesis of chlorophyll.

Salt in cannabis can be either good or bad, depending on a number of factors: the levels of other elements, whether there's already excessive salt, the soil types, the water types and so on. Cannabis is relatively salt-tolerant, but the actual degree of tolerance varies among strains.

I do think, Considering the levels of sodium in coconut water are fairly low, I think that it will be fine, but since I dumped a couple cans on my plants we shall see, but that was 3 days ago and so far no ill effects.

Just use kelp in your watering. Its loaded with micronutrients and hormones for plant including cytokines.

No Brawndo or Coconut smoothies needed.
