Re: Plant Hormones
GA-3 I got it from USA through a friend. dissolve it in rubbing alcohol (spirit) and spray only foliar (no drench) once a month. Overdose will be harmful (Did it quite few times). Result is good and fast. New rapid growth but did not see any major effect on flower size. I am also using it on seed germination with good results. Still got lot of powder with me.
Fazal deen johar town branch has GA-3 dissolved. They charge i think 800 Rs for a 500 ml dissolved solution, you need to keep it fridge. Not tried yet but we can go for a group purchase.
NAA Planofix very cheap around 150 Rs available, i bought it from Shahdara an agri shop. Used foliar on shrubs and good results. one must use extremely low quantity else more harm than good. Once every month.
Cabi-88 from green circle It contains amino acids and PGR's. Three main PGR's are present in it as well as sea weed. Well at least they claim to be I bought it for around 600 or 700 rs last year from their liberty office and i think it will be sufficient for 2 more years for me. It does fermentation naturally so you can mix water in it and i will do the khameer thing, very bad odour. I used it for foliar every fortnight and it is probably the fastest acting thing i ever used after growmore fertilizer.
Superthrive It contains the NAA and other vitamins and seaweed. not available in Pakistan. I got some ml from a friend (actually a friend of Brig Arif ). Its best use it to transplant plants. Plant does not go through transplant shock. They claim it is best plant tonic but i am not so sure about that claim.
Mycorrhizal fungus Those who do not know, please read about it on internet. Technically not a plant hormone but a natural fungi for plants root development. I am using its granules i got from UK. Well not much impressed. Maybe because the fungi is UK native fungi it shows its effect when weather warms up above 25C i think. I Started it 2 months back and still experimenting with remaining granules. If it works, i will know for sure in coming months. Maybe my soil is phorphorus rich (it does not like phosphorus i read) or maybe my water is too alkaline. i do not know. But if we find the right species of fungi for our soil then it will be a major break through for sure.
BTW the imported grow more fertilizer water soluble has been extremely effective for me, only 2 sprays and you are bound to see the results.

Re: Plant Hormones
Farhan, noted about GA-3. BTW, Fazal Din's number is 0423-5241133 and quantity is not 500 ml sorry my typo it was 50 ml and concentration is 1% only. I could not confirm how many PPM one ml of that solution in water will make. I talked to them few months back and not sure about specifications. 850 Rs.Farhan Ahmed wrote:khabbab as per your views i am interested in acquiring GA-3 liquid from Fazal deen.

Re: Plant Hormones
Availability of PGR’sAll the PGR’s mentioned in this article are available with all the branches of Fazal Din’s Pharma Plus in small and convenient gardeners packs of 30 ml as well as larger agricultural size of 1 litre. It takes one or two days to dispense so order two days before you intend to use them.
The writer of the article Mr. Abrar is the owner of the Fazal Din Farma plus.
I can not resist trying them.
