Using our own
Premium grade water soluble gibberellic acid I ran some germination tests with 1659 corn seeds to find an optimal PPM dose and procedure. The test was putting corn seeds in distilled water with our premium gibberellic acid for 1 hour at around 20 celcius (68 ºF). The seeds where then rinsed in regular tap water and the excess water was drained off and the seeds placed in paper towels and kept moist for seven days. After seven days the growing stems where cut off and weighted.
Cotton Germination
A research project tested the germination of cotton seeds with simple water and 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 parts per million concentrations of
Gibberellic Acid with a ten minute soak. The research concluded that the 5 PPM soak gave the fastest germination.

Cotton Growth
An experiment tested the foliar application of gibberellic acid on cotton plants at 25, 50 and 100 PPM. The cotton plants at 50 and 100 ppm had greater shoot and root length, had more nodes, more leaves leaves and total leaf area.

Lawn - GA3
1. I used a soil mix of 8 parts top soil, 2 cow manure, .5 peat, and .25 Perlite(Krum) @ 2-4 inches deep.
2. Sprayed lightly with a hose before covering the sewn grass seed.
3. I used stems from last years flowers that were like strong hay, criss-crossed them over the seeded moist soil mix, and then piled oak leaves 1-2 inches deep over that to create heat for the grass.
4. On late March early April near Chicago the 6th day of growth, I pulled off the cover and sprayed the grass in 3 diff locations full sun, part sun, and shady. I put the cover back on after spraying and 1-2 days later gave it a spritz of water. I sprayed GA3 3 days after that and then 2 days after that.
5. There was no presoak.
6. The temperature was approx. 50-70 F during the day and no lower than 45 F at night. 2 of the days it was 78-82 F.
So, from the 6th day of growing to 1.5 weeks of spraying 3 times later I have some good grass. The shady grass seemed to grow the quickest. It might have been because of a less variant temp. I tried the same areas last year without covering the seed, without special potting soil, and without spray GA3. - JT, User Group
Super-Grow note: the gibberellic acid concentration was 35 PPM for each of the three sprayings.
Lilac - French hybrid
My new very small hybrid French
lilacs are doing well as a result of regular spraying with 50 PPM
Gibberellic Acid [John M., User Group - June 2, 2005]
Peppers
I tried a 70ppm solution of
GA3 on 5 of my habanero
pepper plants and on 5 each of my big boy and cherry
tomato plants. After 3 weeks I couldn't see any difference between them and the other plants of the same type. I then used a 140ppm solution of GA3 on the same plants and now, 1 week later I can tell a major difference in the height of the treated plants as compared to the untreated ones and also the treated plants are beginning to bloom.

Roses
I sprayed a
rose plant that was dormant and had only about 4 sets of leaves with
Gibberellic Acid (GA3) 650 PPM and it grew about 10 inches of new winter growth!! Amazing! [Kevin, April 2006]
Rasberries
I have a rasberry patch here in RI. If you are trying for a sudden boost use over 500ppm of
Gibberellic Acid. If you want sustained growth improvement 50ppm is good. [W.W., User Group - May 5, 2005]
I had some great results by spraying Raspberries also this year. We have 42 new shoots about 3-4 feet high after spraying 85 PPM
Fulvic Acid 2 times and
Gibberellic Acid 35-70 PPM 5 times. We should have berries soon! We had enough berries last year to make 2 huge pies. I suspect we with get 5-6 pies this year. [J.T., User Group - June 6, 2005]
Squash
My "Early White Bush Scallop"
squash plants are massive! They were given
GA3 at 300ppm 22 days after emerging and
GrowTonic at 36 days. [User Group, July 17, 2005 7:50 PM]
Tomatoes
I used
GA3 at 150 PPM on my
tomato plants 36 days after transplanting. That was June 28th. When I applied it I had only 2 "Early Girl" tomatoes the size of a pea showing. Quite a few flowers were about to open on both "Early Girls" and "German Johnsons" when I applied it. Here we are at 13 days after spraying and I have 75 tomatoes growing now!!!
Every plant that I've used GA3 on has responded very well. I've seen many gardens around here and no ones plants are bigger or stronger looking. [D.Z. West Virginia - July 11, 2005 -
