No, you just sound fucking stupid.

exellent thread and grow . well done mate.be safe the postman.

thanks dave and stinky

So UGU, do you think you will continue to use this stuff?
Overall, do you think it's a good product and worth the price/effort of application?
How do you feel about the potential for ingesting trace levels of gibberellins?

Just out of curiosity, is promalin another of the hormones found in apple trees? The name seems like it should be; malic acid being an apple thing?

Stinky
Yes I think I will use this stuff for a long time I already bought the bottle and have proved to myself that it increases yield quite a bit. Really the price does not bother me $200 whatever Ive spent more on dinner and drinks. As far as ingesting it I spray them at 15 days and this batch at 19 days also so there is at least 40 days for the stuff to disapate, shit I use avid too, so if you are going to worry about anything it would be that, but I use that in the begging of veg and the start of flower just as a precautionary thing. as far as the apple tree thing I am not sure its used for them they probally have natural gibberellins so I guess yes.

day 50

final wieght 5.06 lbs
orange 17 plants at 117 grams a plant = 1989 grams total or 71 oz the 2 jeti did 140 each for 280 or 10 oz so a total increase of 282 or 10 oz all together another nice run for only $0.75

.

I have to post this warning though:

Functions of Gibberellins

Active gibberellins show many physiological effects, each depending on the type of gibberellin present as well as the species of plant. Some of the physiological processes stimulated by gibberellins are outlined below (Davies, 1995; Mauseth, 1991; Raven, 1992; Salisbury and Ross, 1992).

Stimulate stem elongation by stimulating cell division and elongation.

Stimulates bolting/flowering in response to long days.

Breaks seed dormancy in some plants which require stratification or light to induce germination.

Stimulates enzyme production (a-amylase) in germinating cereal grains for mobilization of seed reserves.

Induces maleness in dioecious flowers (sex expression).

Can cause parthenocarpic (seedless) fruit development.

Can delay senescence in leaves and citrus fruits.

Not to mention the biggest fear of all:

Inhibits bud formation

faithless, it's all about the dosage as I understand...
So just know what you're doing.

Thanks U.G.U for a well documented experiment, I'll have to try that my self on a small scale but will wait till I read ALOT more about it to do it
for anything but an experiment.


thanks again man

Nice grow man! Could you tell me at what rate do you mix it and do you spray when the lights are on or off?Do you spray with plain water to wash it off after? Also do you only spray them 2 times through out both veg and flower cycles? I'd spend $200 for it if it worked

appreciate it man

I mix it a rate 2.8 ml ger gal of water. Spray them once your 1st time using it just to see how they react, some like it twice some dont kinda strain dependant. I sprayed them when the nugs are about as big as a dime so about 14 days then again 4 days later that is if you are spraying them twice. Only when the lights are off maybe an hour and a half before your lights are scheduled to come on.

U.G.U thanks for all the helpful info.I will have to try that promalin someday and maybe my cheap a** can even split a bottle with a couple of my cheap friends,lol....Another thing..I read another post of yours about cloning with rapid rooters and I tried it and it worked great.I get faster ,bigger roots with the rr's in my aero cloner compared to just letting them hang in neopreen inserts.It really is a huge difference in root structure.Would you mind sharing what you use for the cloning solution? I use mild nutes and some superthrive and would like something more consistant.

I'm lucky to pull half of your harvest with my 2,1000w lights...great job man

all I use is clonex which is a mild nute solution and root tech cloning gel what you use should be fine just go with 150 ppm or so and I also foliar with a mild nute solution with 2 drops of h202 added daily to the bottle to kill any bacteria that would want to grow in the high humidity enviroment also hydro guard in the res

WOW, u.g.u you are the man. I have been looking everywhere for info on gebrellins and thier effects on cannabis and havent found shit untill I read your posts. I have experimented in my botany class with GA3 on bush beans and the results where great but I have been reluctent to try it on my baby girls.
I found some water soluable GA3, do you know if this will work as well as promalin ??
