Gibberellic Acid powder capsule
Gibberellic Acid or GA3 is used for the stimulation of germination of difficult seeds.
10mg GA3 will be supplied as a powder in a small ziplock bag, this is sufficient to make a 50ml mix of water solution at 250 parts per million (ppm).
For breaking the dormancy in Sarracenia ssp., tuberous Drosera, etc., soak the seeds in GA3 for 24 hrs before potting up. It is best to wrap the seeds in kitchen paper before soaking to avoid the seeds from floating!
For the seeds of Byblis gigantean and Roridula dentate, a stronger solution will be needed - make up to a 20ml of solution. The seeds should be soaked for 24 hrs.
GA3 should be stored undiluted in your refrigerator and used within a week when mixed.
Although GA is not listed as a 'poison', the following precautions should be observed:
Flush with water any GA3 that may get into the eye.
Avoid skin contact if possible and wash away any contact with soap and water.
Avoid ingestion of GA3.
Mixing and usage instruction will be supplied with your purchase.
