I just wanted to ask cause I heard inhaling it is dangerous. I ordered a package and opened it, but not the contents of the gibberellic acid itself. But when I walk by where I stored it I can kind of smell it. Is just smelling it dangerous or do I actually have to be breathing it in? Someone told me about it for planting and I’m new to it. I ordered for my belladonna germination but they didn’t tell me about the dangers and I’ve started looking up things on it and I wanna make sure I’m not in over my head with this thing.
I believe that's the part where he mentions putting it in the microwave for 2 to 3 seconds at a time until it boils. That's what my instructions said to do with rubbing alcohol, but mine also said adding equal parts water to the rubbing alcohol would help it dissolve. Perhaps it mentioned to do that to reduce the quickness in the chance of it flash boiling in the microwave when heating. For me using 1 scoop GA3, 15 to 20 eyedrops of 91% rubbing alcohol and 15 to 20 drops water, heated twice for 5 seconds in a 700 watt microwave brought it to a boil and dissolved. So the 2 to 3 seconds at a time would likely be safer, especially if you don't add equal parts water or use a higher watt microwave, I would imagine.
My Power Grown Gibberellic acid did not come with instructions, and I was really hoping you could at least mention the SIZE of the measuring spoon. How many ml per scoop?
I know it might not help you at this point, but in case it still may help you or perhaps others in the future, the instructions for mine says it is a 1/32 teaspoon scoop.
Thank you for this video. Now I know that I did not prepare mine correctly. I used isopropyl alcohol and thought that was the best it would dissolve. Now I have white particles settling in my one litre solution. Rather than throw it out and re-do it, can I just put it over low heat on the stove to dissolve it?
I've used a few different types and have never had that issue just using isopropyl alcohol (both 70 and 91 percent) What I do is put the amount needed in the glass, and I have a glass olive martini stirrer that I use to crush the crystals into a fine powder, then I drop the alcohol in a bit at a time, _just_ more than a paste. Mix that for a few seconds, then add water to your small glass and mix that up and add to your sprayer, I use a small funnel. Rinse the small glass with water, pouring it into the larger sprayer. Mix/shake the sprayer and use within a day or two. I love experimenting with it!!! It's crazy the effects you can get from plants, beyond just getting them to germinate. Once had a lemon tree that put out leaves almost ten inches long and four or five inches wide, on a small tree! I was thinking it would grow faster, nope! Another plant in experimented with was ipomoea alba, the moonflower vine. The flowers became so large they actually nodded down like their similar looking counterparts the datura. Not sure what to do with your current sprayer, may be best just to start over.
@@RealBradMiller The following day, all the fine particles had dissolved. I did make another batch for a friend with 95% ethanol but I mixed it in a glass measuring cup, and this time I was able to dissolve it completely. You are most likely correct in that it should not make a difference which type of alcohol one uses. In my first attempt, I placed the 1 gram of powder on a spoon and poured a small amount of alcohol onto it, expecting the powder to dissolve. 🤦🏻♂. Thanks for your reply.
@@RealBradMiller btw ga3 makes trees grow faster if you fertilize them, especially with nitrogen. I grew a few bigleaf maples from seed and one reached a height of 5 ft in just 4 months with added fertilizer in comparision to its siblings, which only were 2 feet tall.
@@somerandomguy7458 Oh, I believe it, because I've done it with shrubs!! 👍👍 Not growing any trees from seed at the moment, but will try it in the future! I do use it on young, yet established trees for a boost, and always provide fertilizer. I bet from seed the results are fascinating!
@@TelipatiEvolustions I am not sure! I have purchased it as a granular powdery material! The other way to purchase this is a product called 'ProGibb' and that is a liquid. It is VERY VERY expensive so I am trying the powder like the video.
Thanks so much! This is just what I needed to treat my Calla tubers to 1000ppm!
Can you do a video with your tria kit

Awesome vid thanks
What is the process with rubbing alcohol? You mentioned it was a little more work. Thanks!

What's the best technique to germinate old seeds with this product. Any help is appreciated.
24H soak
soak in low ppm solution
@@somerandomguy7458 What ppm would you recommend?
@@mark83915start at 0.1 ppm 24 hr soak brother better be safe ..
Thanks.

What's the amount of gibberellic acid powder in the scoop?

@@db7927 Yes! My first time I thought it would dissolve like sugar! Lol glad you got it worked out! Happy growing!!

i tried using old powder and it did not dissolve even in ethanol
GA does not work on water base?
My understanding is that GA is not soluable in water!
@@windhamflowers if it has become a powder?

That explains why nlarge smells alcohol
Why not use liquid Giberellic acid.
hard to procure
Thank you best video above
