coffee and marijuana

What are the effects coffee has to the growth of cannibus does it speed it up,kill it,dehydrate the roots? This is a legit question as im a new grower ???????

I think it would make the soil too acidic, and cause problems.

i think ive heard of it used with clay soils but im not positive i'd have to look it up

If you want. Check this article out. Great read. The science behind it. http://puyallup.wsu.edu/~Linda Chalker-Scott/Horticultural Myths_files/Myths/Coffee grounds.pdf Hope it helps.

4 parts(id do more than 4 parts) leaves/other compost to 1 parts grounds . 1 cup of agricultural lime into every 10 lbs of grounds before adding to composting, is what that article says

Welcome to RIU!!

Coffee grounds contains nutrients, especially nitrogen that is slowly broken down and released. It also lowers your PH.
Coffee grounds are only good if used properly, in the right situations. If you are using a soil like Fox Farms (and a lot of other "MJ" soils) they already come with low ph (sometimes too low) and with natural nutrients. In that case, coffee grounds can cause issues.


Like the link above shows... very acidic. Most MJ soil is already acidic, so you add acid to acid you get way too much. You end up with a PH around 5, which is terrible in soil.
