Hi,
Can I make some Triacontanol fertilizer from Alfalfa hay:?:
If somebody know recipe for this,please share it.
Thank you
 
I sometimes put a sprinkle of alfalfa in with my worm casting AACT's during veg (maybe a tablespoon per 5-gal). Can't comment on whether it helps at all. Probably can't hurt though.

I don't us any during bloom (because of the triacontanol (sp?)).
 
Like Bookechu, I steep alfalfa in all of my water before using it. I use about half a small bale in a 55gal drum with heavy aeration, and steep it overnight, then strain it before use. I use that water to make all my "teas", and use it in veg as a foliar. 24 hrs is a bit much, and be sure to aerate well to avoid anaerobic conditions. Started doing this about a year and a half ago, and it works well for me. I use it for watering alone throughout the entire grow, and havent noticed any ill effects during flower from the triacontinol, however most studies show that adsorption of triacontinol is best when aplied as a foliar.
