I took tryptophan once and yes it can lift your mood. But as far as I recall it should not be taken when you´re on anti-depressants. I remember reading sometimg about a serotonin shock (or something) and it can be fatal.
It might tbe worth googling the keywords again
If the tryptophan does prolong the vegging period for plants then it could be great for cloning autos, meaning you won´t have to buy as many seeds

Read the first post, that’s reason I’m growing an auto for my Tryptophan test.If the tryptophan does prolong the vegging period for plants then it could be great for cloning autos, meaning you won´t have to buy as many seeds

I guess by the time I had finished reading the thread I´d forgotten some of it lol
well this will be an interesting experiment and I hope you keep us informed
Update. It’s been 3 days since I gave the Auto its first foliar application of Tryptophan.
Within minutes the stem curled. Within hours it was back to normal.
All I can see after 3 days is that it’s stalled. Still looks healthy.
I dosed on the high side because 10 mg, when I weighed it out, is like nothing (like a light coating of dust on an spoon) and my intuition told me just add a touch more. About as scientific as adding sugar to coffee!
If it works, I will have also proved dose isn’t crucial I guess!
To be honest, I can’t see an amino acid doing much harm anyway.

Another week and more misting the Auto AK. Looks fine. Roots seem to be developing faster than the random controls (NH and a Trifoliate JH) Very green. Ive misted 3 times within 10 days at about 10 times the tested dose the researchers used weekly. I’ve proven it’s harmless at least!
Still vegging happily, not a pistil or preflower in sight.
I’m giving it the rest of the week to grow and then I’m taking a cutting at the weekend. I’ll update with pics then. Cheers

thats awesome man 
. ive heard people say you can kind of keep them autos in veg but they werent saying anything concrete.

We discussed this in the auto forum. More than one member said you get as much as 25% better yield on 24 hr. As strange as it seems, they really don’t benefit from a dark period.
For me, at 52N, autos are the only realistic chance of an outdoor season. I’ve always dismissed it because outdoor for me would be guerilla and I’m not chancing expensive seeds on something that risky. I could drop a bundle on seeds and lose the lot to weather, pests, thieves, vandals or whatever.
If I can mother an auto and make clones for free, I’ll put as many out as I can, happy that I’m only risking a waste of time.
The other thing that makes it more appealing is working with a known clone and getting more consistent, predictable results.
