?Sources for Alcohol Soluble GA3 Powder 90???? (90% Gibberelic Acid)

[FirstTracks]

Are there any local-type sources such as Homedepot, Lowes, Walmart, etc. for Alcohol Soluble GA3 Powder 90/ 90% gibberellic acid?

Even anything (off the shelf product) with a strong concentration of GA3 would work as long as it had a chance at reversing sex of female flowers.

Any chance of this being available at garden stores/greenhouse supplies? Or would I just be wasting my time calling around?

I'm trying to find something I don't have to order online with

Trying to make feminized seeds and need the solution as quick as possible.

Was going to go with Colloidal Silver but I've read lots of instances of non-viable pollen from reversed females.

My plant I want to reverse is about 40 days into 12/12 and I need something fast-acting and quickly available to spray it down and make lots of pollen for Fem Seeds.

This is my only source so far, and I don't want to order anything if I can help it

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thats where i get mine. just order the stuff. its not illegal, or even regulated. its used all over by fruit farmers as well as gardeners for all kinds of things. its no different from ordering a book from amazon.

just order it and quit worrying.

I'm aware its not illegal or close to it.

I don't have things shipped at the moment so just looking for alternatives

Might be worth looking into the colloidal silver option for making fem seeds. There's a thread in here about it, seems to work fairly well and can be easily done DIY.

thanks for the thought PS.

I've looked into it extensively to say the least.
I'm just not confident with the potential results, as non-viable pollen is not an option.
If you do more reading on it, you may note that the process has yet to be fine tuned, or at least any fine tuning is kept semi-private from what I've seen.

There are many variables including voltage and duration of dissolving that affect the PPM of the water as it relates to the silver and the particle size, both of which reportedly have different effects on the effectiveness of the solution.

I wish CS was more cut and dry. If it was, I'd go out and get some 99.9999 silver today. However, so far what I have seen is a serious lack of uniformity in the results.

Not bashing CS here. It works for some (many?) and I'm very happy that it has provided a way for many to make fem seeds. I'm just not going to commit at this time.

Besides, research tells me that while CS requires at least a couple weeks of application before it is effective, GA3 requires 5 days maximum of application for immediate results.

-------------
maybe I should clarify.

I'm looking for something available off the shelf that contains an adequate amount of GA3 to reverse the sex of a select female and I have a limited time frame.

Thanks

Not a problem FT. Wasn't sure if you had looked into that option. I've not tried making any fem seeds myself, haven't really researched the matter much. Good luck in your search, wish I could offer some form of solution.

Yeah, given the constraints it doesn't sound like CS is suitable for your needs. I'm probably going to try it eventually, but in my case it'd just be something to play around with and experiment. Not what you need at all.

I got some from Hudson, but when I applied it (maybe I over did it) the plant stretched horribly. Looked like a side-show freak. I trashed the plant and haven't tried again since.
