Re: Grow More "Stimulant"
There is such a thing as a yield limit, and I don't think I've come across any studies where the average yield was much more than 30kg/plant. My professional experience regarding these types of products is that they do not further increase already high yields. I have seen fish emulsion double snap bean yields during an extended cold spell, and I have also seen it do nothing at other times. I imagine the GA has a more pronounced effect in the subtropics, where weather is more challenging.
Here's a link to a thesis from Costa Rica showing almost no effect for GA3 http://bibliodigital.itcr.ac.cr/xmlu...pdf?sequence=1 Last edited by Nicolas Naranja : 12-10-2014 at 10:44 PM. Reason: add link |

it's still FALSE. Try posting a study that can validate your claim. This is what happens in the Tropics when only some compost is added. No fertilizers or PGRs were used, and adding Richard's "Stimulant" would not triple the yield. Brain Fart?..... I dont recall ever experiencing that but Brain FREEZE I have! Thats ! I havent finished reading the thread but it sounds like an invitation to experiment for those curious members of this thread. Im Lovin the DRAMA at this site Cheers!

Richard Im over a year till my tc and some pups from momoese flowers but I can try running the experiment with your (Viagra)stimulant product. One given throughout the growing & blooming phase. The second during the bloom phase only and of course a control not receiving any of your stimulant. Any one tried yet? Thanx! |

He's saying that its a combination of both. I can and will agree with that!!! Proper nutrition during the growth period of the plant and then dose up on the multivitamins during the pregnancy/bloom phase! Sounds like good advice |

Re: Grow More "Stimulant"
Oooooh I see!
I didnt know its a growth hormone. There are actually alot of articles when you google Plant Growth Regulator(PGR) and gibberillic acid. Natural extracted plant hormone GA would be similar to Superthrive as opposed to the artificially created PGR. Ill have to read more of this... Upon further reading on some google articles, seems like these growth hormones are more popular with the marijuana culture. Gibberelins and PGR are the same, its just how theyre made and extracted. Heres the link that I found... Hormones /PGR`s/Vitimans - Research Thread Only | Rollitup Thanx. Ritchy Last edited by Going Bananas : 06-28-2015 at 11:42 PM. |

Re: Grow More "Stimulant"
It is true that superthrive contains seaweed extract, but the primary PGR ingredient in that product is alfalfa extract.
Here's a Wikipedia article about PGRs: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_hormone

Richard
I thought you were in your Wild Safari vacation. You still take the time to chime in? That's awesome! Reserve me a bottle of that nanerViagra when you get back. Thanx! Last edited by Going Bananas : 06-29-2015 at 02:11 PM. |
