Re: More on giberillic acid

From: mburack at mindspring.com on 2001.06.01 at 00:00:55(6653) Dear Lester, The powder form is available at chemical suppliers all over the place. I purchased it from a local company. They do however ship nationwide. The phone is 954-327-0900. A bit pricey though... about $25/gram. +More aroid-l@mobot.org wrote: > Back in college, I recall having attended a biology lecture where the professor discussed his wife's successes with giberillic acid. Interested in doing the same, I purchased some giberillic acid solution, diluted it according to instructions and sprayed it on my plants. I have no idea what the solution truly contained and can't recall the manufacturer. I'm considering experimenting with initiating growth in hibernating tubers by spraying with giberillic acid. I read the discussions about the difficulties of creating solutions of the compound and began to wonder if the diluted solution is still available through any resource. Does anyone have suggestions on where we non-professionals can purchase either the solution (ideally) or else some of the dry, difficult-to-dissolve powder? Thanks, Les
