Thank-you Orion/Plasko20 for performing and sharing this interesting experiment!
You are applying the GA3 as a foliar spray-- have you tried or are you considering trying soaking seeds in GA3? Would that potentially be as effective?
Am I correct in assuming the growth is entirely normal other than the acceleration? I usually cut scapes from 1st year seedlings because the plants are too small to put energy into the scape/blooms and still develop enough to survive the winter-- so I am concerned about "forcing" scapes on too small of a plant...
Please keep us updated on this
