Day 10 and 11, (no day 9). Bringing the limited scope, highly floored experiment to an end. My main observation is that there’s perhaps an optimal seaweed dilution to be had, more is not less in this case. The Gibberellic Acid solution certainly produced stronger plants although they did germinate quicker which gave them a growth advantage over the 11 days. Seed germination using Gibberellic Acid was low, only 50%. Time depending I might rerun the test in the next few weeks.
1. Control (10ml Water) – 75% Germination
2. 2.5ml Seaweed Solution + 10ml water – 75% Germination
3. 5.0ml Seaweed Solution + 10ml water – 75% Germination
4. Gibberellic Acid 1000ppm + 10ml water – 50% Germination
5. 2.5ml seaweed solution plus sequestered iron (Maxicrop)– 0% Germination
