Gibberellic Acid / GA3 anyone use this ?
    #24634734 -

gibberellic acid / ga 3 is a plant hormone to aid in the growth of plants and is used widely in nurseys etc but availble to the public also

i bought some of this a while ago on ebay though the seller has a web site too to use on my peace lillys after reading a sprayd solution "should" get them to produce the lily again as mine have all died out which is normal but after several applications which i'll give more details about none have re bloomed...yet

this substance has benefits for getting seeds that dont germinate so ealisy to do so and can be used in very very low doses on foods also to get bigger yields larger plants etc though ive not tried this myself

so initially i used some 100 or 90% alcohol id bought for the job and following adice heated it slightly with the correct weighed ammount in a test tube, this is then added to water to get the right ppm and sprayed liberally over the leaves, i did this twice over a 6-12+ month period with no resutlts except the slight disformation of leaves which i expected (this happens more relationg to the ppm used)

then the 3rd time not so long ago after reading someone elses report he'd used 70% alcohol which i have and didnt mention heating so i did this about 2 months ago

i remember first reading the results can take quite few months to do anything...i poured the remaining solution into a zz plant as i had sprayed the leaves on a previous one only to have killed it off, now in this zz plant had a young stem which shot up quite quickly over a week afer and then stabalized with the remaining plant still ok....

thoughts?

I have only used it on seeds to get them to break dormancy and jump-start the germination process. I have had really good results with it with regard to difficult and low germination rate plants like Commiphora and Boswellia trees. I noticed a difference in my trichos too. I used to get 10 or so of 20 to germinate in an average batch. When I treated them with GA-3 I had 20/20 germination. lol. . So.. I can say, from my own experience that it does work with some varieties of plants with some amazing results.

However, Like I said I have only used it on seeds, not on vegetative growth.

thanks for reply, ive tried to grow some succulents a while ago baby toes and a cool stone looking one, started out ok but didn't watch the humid level with the cling film over the sproutings and they got too wet i have got some more seeds so will try soon might need more soil, but they were fine no ga3 used, its not something i think a lot of people do just randomly wanted to ask here

On vegetative growth it causes etiolation/elongation wich is, in most cases, something undesirable.

is this from your experience, ive seen a vid with some guy using different quantities and some just gave bigger not quite so distorted results, i think he was using plant feed too and just water as comparissons

This is what it's typically used for. I've never heard of it being used on vegetative growth before.

i recall for lettuce and a few other veg it was about 10ppm where as for peace lillys was like 200-300 so that's a huge difference and might try out some day got some lettuce seeds and my last attempt just wilted and didn't grow to well, i have some 6500k led lights im hoping will be good for growing them though its getting cooler now and i think it was the heat that was wilting them in my windowsil
