i have not been heating my water for GA3, just using tap water.
my TDS meter tells me it is dissolving....

Some desolves some don't.. the shit is a pain in the ass .. when I used it for selfing the shit would barely desolve ,, and it wacked out the plants bad..lol.. you want some stretch, use that shit..

Scuff the seeds or use a super sharp razor blade to scar the shell, 1 tbl spoon coconut juice and about 10 drops indole-3 butyric acid per half gallon of distilled water. Soak them in 76-80 degree water for 8 hours then put in a medium that's about 80 degrees. I believe hormonex was the brand I used to use years ago. It was a bright red liquid and had some extra vitamins and minerals. I'd add just enough to make my water slightly pink.

Hi
I dont think its worth the extra bill because I now have just about 12 beans left.
Looks like I have hard to disolve ga3 lol its from merk via ebay and the instruction says " easy to disolve in alc."
Fuck!
The downside is I planed to use it for experimenting with female seedmaking.
Shit!
I dont care for the stretch I use the plant just as pollen-mum and dust another lady with her goo.
I still have a bottle of collodial silver 50 ppm. Guess I use two clones and try both of the shit.
Peace

Here's one of the trainwreck(arcata) plants I hit with ga3 a few years ago to induce male flowers.. this was my first or second go at selfing using the shit.
This is the stretch I was talking about..lol..

My trainwreck I grew was lanky and all over the place.

Yeah they are stringy and limpy ,, this one just got all kinds of weirdo growth after a few ga3 treatments.. it ended up looking like grinspoon..lol

Haha.. looks funny!
Thanks for the pic Bro!
But the mainquestion is...
Did the girl grow lots of nanners?
How did the resulting offspring perform? Was everything cool?
Did you hit the entire plant with the ga3?
I did that with CS @50ppm and it was the far most worse thing I ever did to a plant. Poor lil girl stunted every growth and had a hard time just to survive!
Next time I will only treat a branch with CS.
But my guess was ga3 is kinda more natural and not that lethal to growth and bioactivity.
But no experience other than that in this thread here when it comes to ga3. I am just in experimental stage.
I have some powder left from the seedexperiment that I hope to get disolved better in rubbing alcohol than in medicinal alcohol in a couple of days. If it works I use some on Seeds and keep some for fem seed experiments.
If nothing disolves this merck shit ga3 I need a new source for the stuff.
Mine looks like white powder but when I mix it with some liquid it looks like sugar crystals but about twenty times smaller. Tiny crystals. Just very small shit and only cocking temps will disolve it in apothecary alcohol.
No clue if that treatment kills the ga3 or not. I am not able to messure how high temps go from my lighter in the glastube.
I am just a poor fella ..lol.. should ask ghetto Santa for a Nasalab in my basement for next xmas Bro haha

interested in seeing what the GA3 does.
my most successful S1's were done with STS.

I did successfully produce male balls on her along with some nanners that she would of thrown out either way.. I managed to get seeds from this experiment but I burned through most of them quickly the next outdoor season, then decided I should cross it because if the sensitivity of them( everyone had some sort of problem). I also used the resulting pollen on a Niagara female but I think I stored the seeds before they had time to dry properly because all of them were duds. Not one popped.. some where I have journal entries on this process along with the ppm's I used.. I just don't remember them at the moment.. I'll see if I can find my entries and share them with you..

i successfully crossed my trainwreck to my sour diesel, thus my name, lol. but it is a way to enjoy the trainwreck genetics without growing the wild beast !!!! my sour D male structured it a little better. well some phenos...

I crossed my sour diesel with endless sky..lol.. it's a great cross I've been slowly chipping away at.. ( stabilizing)
My (arcata) trainwreck I crossed with several strains and hybrids trying to find that WOW plant..

i hear you. i am running some Bx of my Sour Wreck now. that's ((TW x SD) x SD). Daddy was a sexy beast !!! Want to see what structure i get from this go round and maybe backcross one more time. but i don't wanna lose that hammer to the head of the trainwreck when you first smoke it, lol... not too many backcrosses. F1's are some potent weed !!!!

Thats some good info!
@Sour Wreck
Is STS silver tri sulphat something?
I have to check out a source here.
Btw my most promising new plant in this run is a orange skunk lady from expert seeds. Seeds were fems 3 of 3 popped and I have two left. the one that looked best at the beginning died later on.
and the second one became the winner. Shes a monster and loves topping a lot and she stinks. But her growth is extreme and internodes and branching I say 9/10.
Cant wait to flower her!

sorry for the amazon links, but it shows the photo developing chemicals involved.

Great Info and great links Bro!!!
I think I will build a lil chucking box just for experimenting and making all kinds of seeds. That way I dont have to mess around with pollen in my flowering tent to pollinate branches.
I will just use cuttings with short veg in it. Thats the plan.

Hi @ANC
Have a Testrun with sts actually.
Sprayed and flipped to @12/12 since last wednesday.
But dont expect much I fucked up g3 for fems. Just overdid a bit I guess.
Ended up with a long thin spindly plant that took ages to flower so I killed it.
Fucked up cs also prior the g3 mess.
Also overdid fo sure.
Sts seems idiot-safe.
But I recommend not using less than 500ml to dissolve the two parts in before mixing them.
I did and I forgot wich one to pour in wich one. So I got that twisted and the result looked like the pisspot of the pope dude!
Do it right, follow the instruction and the result looks like clear water.
Oh and dont get the silvershit crystals on your skin if you sweat or you'll end up with black unremoveable dots where the crystals sat on skin.
Peace

"I did a run using a solution of hydrogen peroxide solution @~ 1-2% in papertowels last week.
DIDNT WORK for the old beans.
Had a side by side experiment with my old seeds and fresh seeds.
Fresh ones sprouted old ones not."
I'm surprised that the Hydrogen peroxide didn't help. I have found using H202 increases my germination rates from ~60% to nearly 100% in side by side trials of seeds. I've been using a 3% solution H2O2, mixed with 19 parts distilled water.
