This product is not intented for use on food crops that may be used for food" Anythought? I want to be able to eat my peppers!

Sounds clear to me.

GA is commonly used on food products commercially... i dunno bout clonex, but if it says it's not intended for use on food products i wouldn't use it on your peppers

I agree for the most part, I've just heard that clonex didn' want to pay for the FDA stuff and that's the only reason why. Well anyway that's what the guy at the hydro shop said. He said everyone asks me this question and I promise you they just put that there because they didnt want to go through all the red tape with the FDA and all that. Seems a little fishy to me.
 
I dont know how to say it, without sounding like im trying to diss US, well anyway im not. Many times, when it comes to products, if youre from Europe and want to find out if a product would be something to consider, with "your" standards, organic, non pesticide, non carcinogenic, non toxic blabla, omri, blabla, and so on ... then you would not be giving "okeys" just cause something is being used in the US. I dont want to sound like im dissing, cause im not, and i dont want to make a toplist of different things im thinking about, but i luckily can say with certainty that it may be so, that american commercial agric. can use the products to get more crops, faster or, whatever it is, but that dont mean that it is okey, you would never ever ever be able to sell veggies in EU that have been exposed to hormones, it doesnt matter how harmful it may or not may be, you wouldnt be able to sell it. The big difference between US and EU is that you can sell products in US without telling the retail customer that it contains xyz... I will not take up more examples, i only say this. Monsanto sells milk from the cows of Frankenstein in California, and they dont even have to tell you!

I love US, but there is not any possibility to tell this in a way that would sound different. Cause its how it is, the products gets approved there, but not here.

Peace, hugs and kisses to all US THP'rs
 
How's the GA working for you? I might just add, I , myself have an arsenal of pretty much every hormone, enzyme, witch brew you could think of, and I really dont think theres any danger in this case; with GA, regardless of dosage (within reasonable limits, as with everything else :)) and anyway it works wonder for germination, as I believe youve discovered :)

I just started experimenting with it yesterday. I've sprayed it on some tomato seedlings @ a concentration of 500ppm and hosed down some Miracle Fruit seeds with it @ 1000ppm. I'm not sure if I'm gonna use it on any of my peppers or not yet. At this point I'm just trying to get my damn Miracle Fruit seeds to germinate and doing some experimenting with the tomato seedlings. lol I'll keep this thread updated with my results as they come.

Damn Burn, quite a growth spurt there in 24 hours!:lol:

lmao when I saw that pic you posted!

lol... i had to. i figure if GA can turn a head of lettuce into a 10ft tree then it can prolly turn my tomato seedlings into Giant Sequoias lol
 
Alright, it's been about a week since I applied GA3 to my Best Boy Tomato seedlings... here are some pics

I had 2 miracle seeds germinate after hosing them down with GA3 as well. SUCCESS! lol
 
I only had 2 out of 12 miracle seeds germinate.... from what I hear that's about average germination rate. Pretty crappy for how much I paid lol
