Does anyone know anything about Gibberellic Acid ?
I read the following online and found it interesting.

How Do I Use Gibberellic Acid (GA3) To Generate Bigger Plants?
Yes. This is a well-researched area, although the results of gibberellic acid (GA3) applications vary depending on many factors, including (here also) the type of plants its applied to. In one study of persimmon yield (1) it was found that applications of 15 to 30 PPM increased yields by 50% to 400%. In another study (2) it was even found that if gibberellic acid is applied to a plant the next generation of the plant would also benefit from faster flowering and increased height. In another study of walnut trees it was found that applications of gibbarellic acid (GA3) increased growth by 567% (3).

Heres one link,

Gibberilic acid causes the internodes of the plant to increas, and make it streatch. And form what I've gathered it's probably not the respones that your looking for.

GA3 however can be used to help break seed dormancies and improve germination

What I found suggested it will increase internodes (as WorBlux said), which isn't really that good a result - i'd save your money to spend on something more fundamental (after all, it's the fundamentals that make the real difference), like lighting, medium or nutes

SO I CAN USE THIS STUFF ON MY strawberry cough plant that has been flowering for about a month or 6 weeks and get seeds. Thats really cool cuz i got a clone and its for sure producing seedless bud and i really wanted seeds to grow this strain again.im gonna try it and tell everyone here if it worked or not in about a month.

and also get all feminized seeds

It does seem difficult to find info on gibberellin/gibberellic acid use on ANY flowering crop, much less crops that are grown "guerrilla." What I do know is this: an application of any growth hormone requires the plant to have a lot of stored energy (well-developed root system in nutrient-rich soil with plenty of light) otherwise the plant will exhaust itself and die, or simply not respond. Gibberellin PRIMARILY induces longer stem (internode) growth but is used in agriculture to both break dormancy and encourage fruiting on commercially grown apples, pears, and citrus fruits. As flowers are the precursor of fruits, and flowers are what we all want, there seems to me to be some potential for the use of gibberellin on our favorite flower crop. However, dosage rates for different species vary dramatically and too much is a sure killer. The most important thing to keep in mind is that gibberellin, like auxins, micronutrients, surfactants, etc. is an ADVANCED technique. This doesn't mean it's only for genius growers; rather, it means that ALL BASIC NEEDS MUST BE FULLY MET prior to expecting results from these cutting-edge techniques. For example, if your medium isn't supplying ample manganese, iron, or even phosphorous, forget it. You will get better bangs for your bucks by focusing on improving the basics than by experimenting with hormones. The best I've ever smoked I grew myself under flourescents in regular potting soil and vermiculite using only 2 different multinutrient fertilizers: 1 for veg, 1 for buds. I do have a supply of gibberellic acid and am experimenting on a few individuals in my current garden. If anyone else has firsthand experimental or relevant horticultural knowledge of the use of gibberellin on flowering crops, please reply!

to turn your plant into a hermie. Has uses, but not for most. Great for the veggie patch though.

so does it really feminized seeds?

i didnt do it lol but i think it makes feminized seeds only if you pollenate one female with another female not the female gone hermie lol

No, it does not cause feminized seeds. It can however cause larger buds and, if you have pollinated, gibberellic acid will help the plant to develop more seeds. It rarely causes additional stretching when applied during flowering. It will also help seeds germinate. It is used in great success in hydroponics as there is typically ample micros and macros available as bud production goes into overdrive. It WILL lengthen flower times a bit.
