Hi All- I have a seed from 1991 that I need to germinate and I understand that
by soaking in a 200 ppm solution of water and G A I can increase my chances by
replacing the gibberrellic acid lost in the aging process.(I read that in the
Archives in a post by Will Neily).The problem is that the only place I've seen
it for sale has it in quantities far exceeding my needs at a price even
further exceeding my budget($59.00).Does anyone know of a place that sells it
more reasonably in smaller amounts or does anyone have a bunch they don't
need?(I figure the mailman's got me under survaillance for recieving seeds in
the mail,a little Acid would probably be expected!).Has anyone used this
method and are there any other "best ways" to increase the odds of germinating
an old seed?...................................Glenn
