Well I have been experimenting with Gibberellic Acid (GA3) growth hormone and in some instances it works great but it really has to be used in moderation and contrary to popular belief, it takes a couple months for the changes to be noticeable. I haven't tested its ability to increase seed germination but that will be at a later date.
This is a ghost scorpion in dwc that I applied too much of the growth hormone to. I call it medusa now... It grows without logic and the GA3 caused it to split at every node that the hormone touched. I also realized that the splits were not as structurally strong as normal growth and that growth was so rapid that the branches would strengthen enough to support the weight and would exhibit lots of twisting and bending.
This is node split
Branch twist
Central plant structure.
It has been fun experimenting but as you can see, that plant is ruined and at the end of the season, I can't think of any ways to save it or to cut out any worth while overwinter from it.. The genetic code seems almost to have been jumbled. Will be interesting to see if effects can be seen in fruit when it does finally set pods.
