Kinda jumping the gun calling it killer. Granted, there are many gardeners that profess it as a poison, yet have no clue what it is or what it does. The Dutch have been using GA on cannabis for over twenty years, and agriculture has used it longer. It changes the structure of the plant cells, so you risk altering the genetics with every use. Not sure how many generations it takes for the changes to hold, but negative effects are possible in the offspring. It's not a panacea, but to some, it's an alternative.

Gibbrellins are a naturally-occuring plant hormone and have a number of effects on plant development. They can:

1) stimulate rapid stem and root growth.
2) induce mitotic division in the leaves of some plants.
3) increase seed germination rate.
4) induce male flowers on a female plant.

Gibberellic acid is sometimes used in laboratory and greenhouse settings to trigger germination in seeds that would otherwise remain dormant. It is also widely used in the grape-growing industry as a hormone to induce the production of larger bundles and bigger grapes, especially Thompson seedless grapes, and in the Okanagan and Creston Valley it is used in the cherry industry as a growth regulator.

Used in fruit and vegetable farming, it has been determined the product is 'safe'. However, no testing on how the combusted (smoked) hormones affect med patients.

Aspirin is a chemical stressor. I'm guessing it's a temporary ph swing, but am not 100% positive. Inconsistent, but usually reliable. Have you checked the buds for nanners? They don't always appear at the nodes. Also, I'm not sure what oversaturation does to this process, but dilution of the aspirin below a certain level is likely not helping. I'd check the buds closely for the lime-green (yellowish green?) nannersacks.

There's also silver thiosulfate, and colloidal silver, which is a heavy metal stressor. Smoking the stuff is likely a real bad idea. Never tried it though. It's supposed to revert the plant to it's original sex after hermying, and some think it stresses a healthy plant into hermaphrodism. (apparently it does whatever you want it to do, lol) Overuse as a tincture creates a skin condition that temporarily turns skin blueish grey though.

Light poisoning keeps the plant dumping vegetative and flowering hormones, stressing her into a panic for self-pollination before the end of the season. (the normal end of her life) If aspirin doesn't take hold, this is my alternative.

I've used the GA, but was unsuccessful. Got tired of killing branches and slowing growth while trying to dial it in, and went back to using the aspirin therapy.
Rusty Trichome Reviewed by Rusty Trichome on . Aspirin: How long for effects? Ok I want to make this RMT make me some pollen. I just harvested most of one, leaving enough to get me some response from the plant. How long after applying the aspirin does it take to show the nanners....on the average. There is no intention of smoking what is left, but I still prefer something I know my body accepts. So keep in the flower room for how long after the application....probably will only get one application as the plant will use little water now. Thanks. Rating: 5
