![]() Only the one on the left was given a soil drench of 1 ppm uniconazole on 12/16/18. The plants were identical at the time, in identical pots. The treated plant was repotted on 7/3/19.
![]() Remarkably, the biggest difference is a thicker pseudostem. |

![]() and more leaves - quite a lot more which really helps its appearance.
What were you trying to accomplish? And where did you get the chemical? Looks like something neat to experiment with. |

I bought uniconazole (I misspelled it in the title) on Ebay about 3 years ago. There were many sellers, but, now, I can't find any. Same for Aliexpress. It cost me about $10 for 1 gram. There is an American made version, Sumagic, that is still available, but it costs a fortune. https://www.ebay.com/i/112488012820 I do not recommend Sumagic because it is a gyp. |

![]() Pot size (and thus root mass) might explain the difference in performance.

![]() ![]() During the summer, I gave it many additional doses of uniconazole without additional effect. I am pessimistic about it not outgrowing my greenhouse. Even if it fruits, the fruits will be inedible due to an unsafe concentration of uniconazole. 1 ppm is the recommended concentration for a soil drench on tomato seedlings but, otherwise, uniconazole is not approved for food crops. |
