Well...Gibberellins (GAs) are plant hormones that regulate growth and influence various developmental processes, including stem elongation, germination, dormancy, flowering, sex expression, enzyme induction, and leaf and fruit senescence. My guess is that it does alter the genetic responses and imprinting of the resultant seeds.

With the silver thiosulfate, the genetic damage isn't so much a concern for the plant, but for those that ingest it. The gentleman below was on a daily regimin of silver nitrate as an antibiotic or something. Bluish skin coloring is from the silver. (the silver expresses itself through your skin) It's called Argyria. Don't know how much it takes to express this way, but I feel fine not using the stuff. :thumbsup:
