Using gibberalic acid to assist with germination!
I wish I'd known about this trick before I tried to get Cindy 99 beans to pop. I'm guessing GA might be one of the secret ingredients in rapid rooters too.

Heard great things. Bought it from China but never arrived. Hard to import mysterious powders I guess.-
It's available in other forms. I had a bottle of some stuff called MegaGro growth stimulator (meant for vegetable growers) that I inherited from a former weed grower. I was checking it out a few weeks ago after not paying any attention to it for a few years and noticed that the only active ingredient was GA! It may be cheaper to look for products like that. I believe I've seen it available in bottles at grow shops around here too.

One tip, dont use it on fresh seed, it MAY help with old seed but can kill fresh seed.
It is used on things like those huge strawberries at the market.
It was tried as a bud enlarger but caused hermies.
I have tried it to make seed with, no joy, maybe I did something wrong.
Chlorine or H2O2 can help with germination, some say it only kill the bad things on the outside others say it does something to the inside and causes germination.
Good Luck!.Comment

Thanks. I've hit my grow books and learned that fresh seed like my GTH needs to be kept cold for at least a few weeks to make them go dormant. And yes, GA is a chemical that can be sprayed on female plants to force them to make pollen for feminized seeds. GA is also good for forcing seedlings to become males too.

gibberlic acid is also used to reverse female plants, would it be safe to use during flowering?Comment

Yep, GA3 does work! I bought a packet on AMZ and used it successfully to germinate some old OG Kush seeds that nothing else worked on. I don't have my notes here but I think I used the 100ppm dilution. You need to dissolve the powder in a few drops of alcohol before diluting with water.
Haven't tried it yet for forcing female plants to create seeds but they say it works the same as colloidal silver but isn't as toxic. Buyer beware of smoking buds that have been treated with GA3.
The little packet I bought is a lifetime supply. Comes with dilution instructions and a little measuring spoon.Last edited by grouchyoldman; 05-10-2021, 11:17 AM.My goal is epicurean quality rather than high yield.
I'm learning how to create cannabis tinctures and hashish and I almost always use a vaporizer to spare my aging lungs.
Despite my avatar name I'm generally amenable and helpful. So, if there's a question I'm qualified to answer, hit me up!
