Anyone used the GA3 solution on the old beans ??

Where's Sam Skunkman when ya need him?
I know he has experience w GA3.

Maybe hit up the DJ Short forum & see if you can get him to talk on the subject.
Chimera would also be a good candidate to answer your inquiries but not sure of his experience using GA3.

theres a clip somewhere , i,m sure you,d find it with a google . talks about amounts and tests different percentages and does trials. something to do with ocean grown seeds if i remember correctly. either there website or you tube .

hey!


I don't know if you have germinated old seeds before but ga3 is only one of the many auxins and hormones needed to pop very old seeds.. (all it does is make plant cell stretch) so they can pop the hull... then you need to make them grow... with others.


An easy way to get seeds to pop is get some tissue culture kits and then sterilize your old seeds then drop them in and they can take there time growing free of mold and disease.


btw. I love your avatar!! LMAO!

I have used GA3 on old seeds before with mixed results. Some seeds just get too old. You have to pay close attention on your mixture as you dont want to use either too much or too little and I think I mixed it with maybe alcohol first but cannot remember it was last year. Got mine of the bay.

Worked on some older cinderella 99, rezdog sssdh, and did not work on my older headbands. Does cause elongation initially so be very gentle when planting and opening up your towels as the tap roots are very very fragile in this state.

I agree I have looked into the tissue culture too but never went forward to try it out with all the stuff you need.....a vacuum operated clean box is easy enough to make but then you have to get the rest of the ingredients etc....a lot of work.

I have used the GA3 with concentration of <130ppm and soaked the seeds for cca 4 hours.
6 out of 20 germinated and growing healthy.
Without GA3 6 out of 30 germinated and growing now.

So it seems to help a little, but the seedlings are stretching a little more. Or so it seems so far.

Does anyone has the experience with this ? I wonder how the increased stretch will affect the genetics and the future grow and flower...?
