Hi,
So I've had a look at this product at this store, it just sounded too good to be true.
hydro4u.com.au

DNA GRRROW 60 ML | Seaton Hydroponics

Used at around week 3 of growth, this product will double the growth of the plant, this can save a whole WEEK of Growtime!!!!!!
hydro4u.com.au
Claims to reduce veg by 1 week by stretching out the entire plant.
Has anyone used or know what could be in this or of any other alternatives there might be ?

Seems to be similar to cycos XL. phosphoric acid i think just lots of phosphorus if im not mistaken it triggers some wild internodal stretching.

No experience with it, tho

Thanks you might be right !
I was originally thinking it might be gibberelic acid as it seems to describe the same effects

No it doesn't sound like GA3 is used. Nitrogen will do more in terms of new shoot forming and internodal length than phosphorous does. No reason to use GA3 in flower, it's mostly used in terms of treating dormancy of seeds.

I wouldn't trust any manufacturer who states "extreme super sonic growth". Focus on the nutrient ratios and that the food contains enough sulfur. PK boosters are way overrated. It's only on the market because it's what people believe the plants need for optimal growth in flower, not what's backed up by scientific knowledge.

But "It can save a whole WEEK of growtime!" :bigjoint:

Grow time is two words. Someone should tell them.

Yeah it sounds like gibrellic acid but it could even just be something like shooting powder used in normal non cannabis flower production cos that can cause stretch in young cannabis plants i think either or is my guess

I wonder what ingredients are used to promote fast growth. PGRs maybe? That's a big problem in Australia and there's a lot of discussion of them on Reddit at r/Ausents.

With an NPK ratio of 15-25-0 it's a heavy dose of P with no K so shitty for use as a bud booster and a lousy balance for veg too.

Would not be on my shopping list.

:peace:
