In order to achieve 100ppm solution..

1) Take 0.16g of Alcohol Soluable 90% GA3 Powder, bought from that website. http://www.super-grow.biz/GA3Powder90.jsp

2) Dissolve powder in just enough iso alcohol to wet the powder, i.e it doesn't matter how much iso, as little as possible.

3) Take 1.44 litres of water

4) Add GA3/iso solution to water and mix well, et voila.

Scale up or down depending on how much solution you need, when it comes to that part I can't help as I have no experience using it.

The 90% was the strength of the GA3, not the iso. The 99% iso you've got is fine.

Not sure where you can buy the GA3 Powder in the UK, I'll have a scan around later and see if I can find anything, as I was hoping to do this myself on my next run.

These guys are selling capsules of GA3, ready to dissolve in water as far as I can work out. 10 x 0.1g = £11 inc p&p.. doesn't seem too brutal for a gram of the stuff.

They don't specify what % GA3 powder it is, but reckon one of their capsules is enough to make 100-250ppm in 500ml water. The only thing I don't like is they say "at least" 100mg in each capsule.. i.e. they aint gonna be consistent with the weight.

Be handy to know if it was the same 90% GA3 powder as on the US site.. if so we could just adjust the calculations, to work out how much water we want to use to get the desired 100ppm.

Maybe I'll shoot the UK site an email to find out.

Obviously I've got no knowledge of how precise the 100ppm has gotta be, I mean, if 100-250ppm is fine for reversing females, then clearly it's gonna be less painful to just plop a capsule in 500ml water and be done with it!

for the megagrow concentrate a capful in 32oz of water gives you 10ppm 10 capfulls 100ppm a gallon 20 capfulls 100ppm.

i want to drop 1 capsule in water and have done with this!!




so what`s the product code for the good GA?????....
nice one guys

 

[McSnappler]

You know this!

Sent them an email, I'll post up here when I've heard back. Fingers crossed they give me the right answers, and we can literally go with 1 capsule per half litre of water.

Really could do with some real life experience in this thread with regard to ppm.. how important is 100ppm? Is 250ppm in the right range still?

 

[englishrick]

init

i like your style McSnap....

im glad you know the right questions to ask,,,,,we would be fuked if it was down to me

thanks for doing the things i find hard,,,,,,il do the same for you

 

[BENJI]

Would be good to get some hands on experienced people's input on this subject keep up the good work mcsnappler and rick let me know if u get hold of some GA....

 

[englishrick]

as soon as i get it in a spray bottle il be buzzin

 

[McSnappler]

Got an email back from the UK GA3 place.

each capsule is filled by hand which does affect the weight, but all are filled to the same level in the capsule, so should be about the same.
The amount is the minimum quantity, as will all the trials and tests done on the plants we have tried, it is not an exact science.
Most measurements just state 'dip a match stick into the powder to 1/8 inch. the powder stuck to the stick will make up 150ml.'
Ga3 is not really a chemical, as its a natural hormone powder found in mushrooms. The dilution guide is a 'guide' as the only main problem is with very small seeds, that if left in the solution for more than a few days can disolve.
We tested carnivorous seeds/exotic and tropical seeds and found that even when soaked in double the concentrate for 24 hours had no ill effect on anything we tried, its more the soaking time than the quantity,as most seeds can only absorb a certain amount in the given time.
Hope this helps.

From what the dude says, I'd say it was a reasonably safe bet to go with one of these capsules per 500ml spray bottle of water, store any spare solution in a cool, dark place and use within 48 hours or so.

Obviously he's talking about other uses of GA3, but what he's saying is probably reasonable to apply to our use in essence - it's not a chemical which is going to burn the plants, but a hormone.

Judging from what people are saying, both on this thread and other threads on the net, about how often you've gotta apply to your females, I reckon this product..

..the pack of ten, should be plenty to do one run.

Obviously, because I've not tried this, and because of my limited general grow experience, don't take my word as gospel. If this wasn't my first run, I would experiment on a little clone, but I need all the bud I can get right now!

 

[englishrick]

McSnap,,,,what am i buying bro,,,

il give it a test

2 capsule for 1L,,,,

thats a perfect method for me......

any chance of a product code?
