hempcultivation.com has no "links" forum so I thought that this would be a good place for this.

It took me quite a while to find an online store that sells gibberellic acid. www.sciencealliance.com/products/g.shtml This is a place that sells it...you can get 120ml of a .1% solution for about $15.

They also had an impure solution that contained a lot more of the hormone.

I have read research produced by Universities doing stuides on the use of this product. Have you any idea of the conditions that must occur to have sucess in using this very toxic product? If yo do please enlighten us all.

SENSEMILLIA


When the female plant is not allowed to pollinate, it grows full of resin that was intended to make seeds. False seed pods swell with THC laden resin and the pistils turn red and orange and withdraw into the pods. Then the plant is harvested.

Seeds are not part of the bud when the flowers mature. This is called Sinsemillia, and simply means "no seeds".



SENSE SEEDS


It is possible to cross your favorite two female plants to create a new strain of seeds that will produce all female plants. Preferably, these two plants will be different types of plants, not from the same mother's seeds.

This will create the best offspring, since it will not lead to inbreeding. It is easier to gauge the quality of female plants than male plants, since the smoke is more potent and easier to judge it's finer qualities. Plants from seeds created in this fashion will be all female plants since there will be no chance of male chromosomes from female parents.

Use Gibberellic Acid on one branch of a female plant to induce male flowers. Gibberellic Acid is sold by nursery supply houses for plant breeding and hybridizing. Spray the plant once every day for 10 days with 100 ppm gibberellic acid. When the male flowers form, pollinate the flowers of your other target female plant you have selected. Just pollinate one branch unless you want lots of seeds!

Once the branch has male flowers, cut the branch and root it in water, with glass under it to catch the male pollen when it drops. Use a rooting solution similar to the above cloning solution.Collect the pollen with a plastic bag over the branch and shake it. Use a razor blade to scrap up fallen pollen and add it to the bag too.

It is also possible to pollinate the flowers of the plant you create the male flowers on, crossing it with itself. This is used to preserve a special plants characteristics. Cloning will also preserve the plants characteristics, but will not allow you to store seeds for use later. Crossing a plant with itself can lead to inbreeding problems, so it may not be the optimum solution in many cases.

I once tried using Gibberellic Acid, sprayed on a healthy female, every day for over a week. No male flowers appeared on the plant. Your milage may vary.

Inbreeding occurs if used overtime. Fresh male pollen from male plants should be added to the strain. This is what keeps the varieties healthy and at their genetic best.

I've heard that different PPM (parts per million) of this can lead to different things. It can create male flowers on females, female flowers on males, hermies, and do a lot of other really weird stuff. I need to look into it a bit more before I use it. I'm also very borke and I have a few other things that I need to buy first .

I would never smoke the buds from a branch that I sprayed with this stuff, even if it is only a few hundred PPM. The point is that while the buds are toxic, the seeds are very un-toxic, and produce some cool stuff.

look around this place to find some really cool hormones. I also found out that GA3 (gibberellic acid) is not harmful at all. It is used in all kinds of commercial farms to produce larger fruits. Chances are that you have eaten quite a lot of it.

This product is never predictable. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. I would not smoke any plant treated with GA3. That would define "Toxic" for me. The seed it produces is what you want. If this treatment works, and the plant being treated is isloated from any other pollen, you get 100% female seed. I like nice big fat seeds.

Anybody using this stuff still, or have any recommendations for its use?

This company has different ppms listed (based on user feedback) as it relates to tomatoes, peppers, and the like:
