Thanks for the feedback, K and Diane. Although the article says,
"MegaGro contains Gibberellic acid, a naturaly occurring plant hormone
that stimulates cell growth" but it also says that "...The acid can help
with cell elongation and increase the number of cells"; therefore,I can
see where the AOS judging committee may be opposed to its use as this is
tampering with Mother Nature. (Wish I could provide a link to the
article; however, the newspaper's website does not feature this one --
http://www.pe.com). In addition, the writer states: "Individuals
flirting with the idea of using a Gibberellic acid product should be
mindful that it is a near-science", and she concludes with the
following: "If you do purchase a product, spray only some parts of the
plant. . .That way you can monitor whether the product really had an
effect."
Before reading the article, I had never heard of Gibberellic acid and
found the information very interesting. Should I ever purchase MegaGro,
I may try spraying it on a few leaves of plants that are expendable
and/or never bloom.
