will fluoride accumulate in my plants from tap water?

The brushing thing is safer cause you don't swallow toothpaste. The fluoride is absorbed directly by your teeth and very little into your blood stream/brain/kidneys. So it helps strength your teeth without all the brain damage.

But i do agree with you that fluoride is not safe in the water supply at all.

the absorption is greater through the gums and most tooth pastes are a good 1500ppm! much higher than tap water and it NOT good for your teeth in any way mate, fluorosis (sp?) isnt pretty

tap water never affected my plants badly. suppose there will allways be someone willing to sell you a filter or some other remedy for any percieved problem.

I'm so glad I live in a city that doesn't add fluoride to the water. It means I can actually drink the tap water. And it actually tastes good right out of the tap! For the plants I let it sit out for a day to get rid of the chlorine. When I lived in a place that added fluoride to the water me and my plants both had to drink bottled water.
Maybe get in touch with your mayor or city councilor or whoever your elected representative is that has control of your water supply and educate them about fluoride. Couldn't hurt and you never know.

Oh, and I haven't used toothpaste with fluoride in it for like ten years. Shit will kill you man!

How much of the chemicals in treated water evaporates if you let it sit out for 24 hours? Anyone know this?

What?:moon:

You may as well be shooting fluoride up your arm, your skin is a sponge. Believe that. Don't believe that fluoride is absorbed by your teeth ha ha, your gums do the chewing when it comes to the absorption of various MOD squad ingredients!

Yes the separate issue is pH buffering for which tap water is necessary.
Try adding nutrient solution to pure Reverse Osmosis water and the water
will be much to acidic for soilless applications.
This is good advice unless your tap water is absolutely terrible in some way
like there was an industrial accident upstream or something like that.

We would have to grow plants in various concentrations of Fluoride and
then harvest them and then test their various parts for Fluoride concentration.
My instincts tell me that this experiment has not been performed because
of all the hubbub surrounding Fluoride in the water.

I think Chlorine is also not good because it kills beneficial bacteria, but the
question is about Fluoride so that is a tangent.

I don't think the Fluoride would have any effect on the plants because the plants
would chelate the metals, effectively removing them from reproductive parts
and placing them in structural parts. I don't see any mutagenic effects from Fluoride
thus the DNA would continue to replicate normally.

This thread is about Fluoride and its effects on plant growth.

reverse osmosis units are a piece of piss to use, cheap and if you care enough they remove even tiny molecules like oestragen,,

problem with flouride is the pineal gland actively sequesters it from the blood because it is not protected by the blood-brain barrier,, and that effect on billions of people could probably have a larger effect that very few know the significance of..

back to the point though, plants overwatered with flouride store it in the roots the most and fruits the least apparantly,, tap water has 0.5-1mg/litre depending on where you are,, and studies done on plants watered with 10-20x that at 10mg/l over a 16 week period have shown the average of the plant material contained only 0.20mg flouride/100g which means that if cannabis sequestered flouride at the same rate under the same extremely high conditions as these plants (okra) then smoking more than three ounces would contain the same amount of flouride as you drinking a cup of water :D

i think i will go the ro route just for piece of mind(literally lol) also the estrogen and anti androgens are a cause for concern,
cheers mate
dont suppose you got any links or suggestion were i can get a decant one for a sensible price mate?

Interesting question...
I'd like to hear some informed opinions.

For removing fluoride from your system turn to borax (sodium tetraborate).
There is a fair amount of info about fluoride detox on the internet.
earthclinic.com is my #1 favorite place to research non allopathic remedies from around the world.
Ask if you would like further info!

id like to hear more about this borax detox mate, it seems ive got it out my life now just want it out of me

here's a decent not to expensive starting point i have one of these 3 stage ones and know it works very well,, if you can run warm water through it then that makes it alot more efficient, needs a screw end on the tap, that and higher pressure,, you can buy a step up pump if your water doesnt come out that fast as well which like i say can help you waste less water..

buy an ec pen as well if you dont already have one..

the more stages they have the more filters you have to replace eventually..

Why would you remove fluoride from your water? Do you want stronger teeth as you smoke your favorite nugs?

because it doesnt just make you a sheep,, not that simple at all..

it hampers peoples abilities to think and philosophise on much higher levels of comprehension to what the average person does anyway.. so you really wouldnt know it had affected you its just that at certain times you wouldnt have your pineal gland firing DMT into your brain, so you just think slightly differently to what you could..

its not like it is unusual for an element itself to affect mood and thought patterns, just think about lithium as a mood stabilizer..

mr brunch if you arent a "fuckin sheep" use your own brain and find the fuckin evidence for yourself.. you wanna be drip fed milk?

all the proof is out there.. and its been known for a long time and shown in repeated studies that flouride crystallises the pineal gland retarding its function..

so why put it in toothpaste? if all this is well known fact, then it should be withdrawn from sale.
trouble is my own brain tells me that more than half the stuff i read on the net is paranoid conspiracy shite about the government trying to turn us into robots.... so is there any chance of a link to a study so i dont have to wade through hours of hearsay just to find something ? not asking to be drip fed anything, but we are all here to learn and teach.
