Hey what the fuck happened to the wikipedia
triacontanol entry?

here you go:

Scroll down to the phosphorus chapter. The whole thing is worth reading though. In my sentence I meant soil solution not soil itself. Remember the soil has a specific CEC and will release P in to solution slowly... Perhaps that threw you off?
Hey that's wonderful stuff. I'll read through all of it as soon as I get some homework time.
Are you a mod Cap? Sticky that PDF or make it a site d/l or something.. maybe a little inaccessible for the newb grower tho..
All good, can you recommend the specific dilution for tricantinol into poly glycerol. What is the dilution into h20? How much should be injected and how often? Everyday? Week? Exe... Thanks cap ordering some nute packs to play with tomorrow.

Triacontanol for a ready to use concentrate and solution.pdf
Ya I've seen the MBFert stuff that would've been were I would have pointed you.
I use the CannaBoost knock-off they make and it is excellent... I've ordered several times from those cats and aside from really unprofessional packaging, I would recommend them.
Uhh... I do have to say that perhaps I'm a conservative chemist, but I really don't like the microwave portion of those instructions. Reservations about microwaving a organic fatty acid like that... I would want to find a different way to emusify it in the first step.. double boiled on a stove or something but I wouldn't use a microwave..
Ummm... I'm also a bit concerned about the giant dosage range they provide. Everything
else I've read about TRIA indicates it is a bit like a steriod - the right dose works wonders but too much can cause all sorts of problems. I know a kid who made that solution in the pdf but he got real aggressive with it his plants finished really early and all fucked up. Couldn't tell you how much he was hitting them with tho or if he was fucking around with paclo or anything..
I would go very conservative with TRIA and use it only as a foliar - especially as dialed in as you already are..
FWIW - anyone whose read my posts (Cap esp) will probably note that I am a huge fan of mixing my own shit. From pest control, nutrients, homebuilt light arrays - I'm a fucking massive DIY-er. I repair my own appliances, rebuild my own motors and do all my own mechnical work, install my own car stereos, and build my own computers.
However - when it comes to fucking around hormones and PGR's I have two major reservations
1) PPM of pgr's and hormones is
critical for proper response and I don't necessarily trust mail-order chemicals. Unless I am ordering from Sigma-Aldrich or Phytotechlab I just don't trust plastic baggies with white powders in them from international addresses.
and -
2) Quality of dosage information - without a test plant I wouldn't trust the dosage instructions I can get since in terms of PGR's and hormones you can get all sorts of conflicting information. Add to that the uncertainty and delay of plant response - you can drastically fuck up your plants hormonal response and finishing time and not know it for weeks...
So for those reasons I just buy HCO's SnowStorm for my foliar TRIA... the bottle dose is low enough that as a foliar a $40 liter still lasts months and the effects are obvious even at what is surely a low dose.
