Re: Re: Re: GA3 in seed germination

Hi!
I've used KOH and GA together without adjusting the Ph on new shoot and
flower growth with no problems.
Once you have the Potassium salt (KOH+GA), it is more potent than "plain" GA
(according to literature) and freely soluble in water.
That's how I'd personally go based on past experience.
Having said that, I am not saying the other method wouldn't work or that
this method will get you the outcome you desire.
I've just had big problems with ethanol (however small)+water and GA killing
tissue cultures.
If in doubt use both. I'd be curious how it turns out, either way.
Hope I've helped more than confused!
