okay so this is going to be a thread to disscuss Pgrs and their uses.. i know many people dont like them for whatever reason. its up to them but myself and a couple people on chiligrower find some interesting reads about plant growth regulators.... if anyone has more info to add be my guest and add it this is some of what i found..
Class functions Practical uses
Auxi Shoot elongation Thin tree fruit, increase rooting and flower formation
Gibberellins Stimulate cell division and elongation Increase stalk length, increase flower and fruit size
Cytokinins Stimulate cell division Prolong storage life of flowers and vegetables and stimulate bud initiation and root growth
Ethylene generators Ripening Induce uniform ripening in fruit and vegetables
Growth inhibitors Stops growth Promote flower production by shortening internodes
Products are safe to eat, crop and harvest after plant treatments at recommended concentrations.
Natural organic product. Breaks down naturally as plants grow.
This plant growth regulator can be found naturally in plants. Used on a wide range of food crops worldwide.
Routinely used for the production of seedless grapes in Europe, USA, Australia, South Africa and South America.
Classified as a plant growth regulator it can have a number of commercially important effects on how plants grow.
Gibberellic Acid can affect growth by its effect on cell growth and cell elongation. Such effects are often seen in stem growth as well as root growth. Stems and inter nodal lengths can be increased and a better more extensive root system develop. Increases in cell division can also sometimes be seen in the production of larger leaves. GA leads to bigger plants with bigger shoots and leaves in many plants. Bigger plants produce bigger crop yields.Gibberellic acid can be used as a seed dormancy breaker. It is most effective on rosette plants that have a cold dormancy requirement for germination. Though dormancy breaking and germination improvement can be seen in a number of genera.
Longer flower stems can be produced on a range of 'florist' flower crops. In addition flower size can sometimes be achieved. Treating flower buds before opening with a solution of Gibberellic acid can lead to huge flower increases in a range of different flowers.

Germination seed dormancy of a number of Carnivorous or insectivorous plants can be broken by using a solution of Gibberellic Acid.
Used for the production of standard and half standard plants. Can be used on Fuchsia, Rose, Hibiscus (both hardy and tropical varieties), Ficus, Vitis, and a range of fruit crops when a strong stem is trained to a cane to build a framework.
Longer flower stems can be produced on a range of 'florist' flower crops. In addition flower size can sometimes be achieved. Treating flower buds before opening with a solution of Gibberellic acid can lead to huge flower increases in a range of different flowers.
Science and horticulture use Gibberellic Acid for the following benefits in a range of plants. Now also available for hobbyists and enthusiastic amateurs or anyone who grows plants. It is easy to mix, use and apply to plants growing anywhere.
Plant growth regulator Gibberellic Acid used on plants
- Increase plant or crop yield
- Enable greater photosynthesis and plant metabolism
- Allow the production of bigger leaves, and bigger root system
- Increase cell growth in stems,leaves and roots
- Used for production of elongated stems in plants grown as standard and half-standard horticulture crops.
- Can be used to increase stem length in a number of flower crops grown for the flower trade.
- Increase flower size
- Improve establishment and growth of young plants produced from cuttings, seed or plugs.
- Used to help plants suffering nutrient and growth deficiencies.
