Gibberelic acid~ any suggestions!!!!???

[SundeWCitY]

;Dhi , am purchasing some cp seeds here soon and i heard gibberelic or ga3 can be used to start the plants growing withought a stratification, has anyone experience with using this? i know u need to make it soluble with 70 percent rub, alcohool but what percent do you use on ping seed, or darlingtonia, or drosophyllum, or drosera? any help would be great thanks! you can PM me thanks

i did find some info on a website that says the acid should also have water added as to not be so harsh on seed but again i am not sure of amounts. I also read that it can be refridgerated for 2 weeks

If its not GA3 90%, you don't need to use alcohol.

Use about 25-50ppm. Anything more than that may be overkill. I'd soak the seeds in that solution for 24 hrs, but with drosophyllum, make sure the endosperm is visible.

Adding water isn't a bad idea. Make 80ppm or so soln. then add the same volume of water.

GA3 pretty much starts immediately breaking down once mixed with water. I wouldn't trust using soln. that was mixed more than 3 days prior.
