Default Re: Forcing plant to pup

Since I don't want to ruin a growing plant I thought of trying other methods. I have read that some of the nurseries and orchards use growth regulaters to control the plant and get the bloom or fruit when they want it. We are going to try this and will post findings. We have used ga3 on tomatoes and it does work. It worked so good that the plants stopped growing and the fruit went crazy. There was a lot of fruit but of small size, will have to be more careful and time the use more carefully. We intend to try sulfate of potash to induce the plant to grow more rapidly and put out pups. Now we aren't very skilled in this procedure so it may or may not work for us but it sure will be interesting. Wish us luck and any help will be very welcome.
