Prune juice anyone?

Has anyone ever used prune juice within soil or fertigation systems? I would think it would act as a carbo load supplement similar to mollases and the marketed supplements. The 100% prune juice I have states that it was extratcted from dried prunes with purified water. There are no preservtives listed and its packed full with a bunch of stuff such as phosphorous, maganese, sugars, a couple different vitamins, iron, pottasium, copper, and a few others.

I have only given 2 of the ladies a taste so far. 1/4 cup into 5 Gallons. Technicaly I should be flushing now, I only have a 1-2 weeks left on this variety.

My medium is 50/50 perlite/fine grade vermiculite. My plants roots were innoculated with beneficials as they were being transplanted into the pots they are in now. If I see any benefit I will post some pics. I have had issues trying to upload more pics but I will give another try.

I used it on all the girls the next day after I had seen there were no ill effects from the juice. I used it along with my lightened nutrient mix for one week ~ day 50. It seemed to add a week or two to the overall flowering period. The colas were double the size as last time! But there is no way of saying the prune juice is to thank. I changed so many differnt things this time around. I will take some pics after drying and curing. I have another 3 days of harvesting. (Trimming gets so boring)

Pain in the butt with a drip system to run comparisons. Im gonna have to judge from harvest to harvest, and reviewing when I changed nutrient protocols. This second grow Im just finishing up will be the last time I veg any plants. Im going to start the perpetial flowering method. In 65 days from today I will be able to harvest one plant (~1-1.3oz) every week.

Plants only uptake inorganic compounds so what they "eat" does not translate into taste, but I am really interested to know how these taste. I know that the terpines are created by the plant itself, but it still seems like it might be sweeter.

Well it has not been that long into curing. But from what I remember from 3-4 months ago when I initialy grew this one she tatsed very similar to what I tasting now. I would have to leave them jarred for a month to really compare the two grows. Im going to be cutting more today again... Im behind my own schedule lol. I am going to try and post 2 pics right now. (note to self :start posting in correct forum)

No luck with the pics. I uploaded some from the last grow but it doesnt work anymore. I changed a bunch of settings on my comp for security concerns but other than that I dont have a clue why the little spinning wheel doesnt stop when uploading. I reformatted this pics but the same resulted.
