This is the growth hormone that farmers in China have been using on their watermelons for extra growth. It has become somewhat infamous for causing watermelons to crack open due to too rapid growth.Forchlorfenuron has been approved in the US for use on kiwi and grapes. The only source I have been able to find sells it for $494 plus shipping for a kilogram. That is way more than I need and more than I can afford. So I am wondering if anyone is interested in sharing a purchase or if perhaps someone knows where I am able to purchase a smaller amount. My email is: coolvol@comcast.net

Tennessee, thats the first time I have heard of forchlorfenuron, so I googled it and here is a PDF file all about it.

http://www.epa.gov/opprd001/factsheets/forchlorfenuron.pdf

I understand the first parts about what its saying about what forchlorfenuron does, but the last couple pages your gonna need someone like Joe Ailts explain the rest. LOL

Well Amelio, did you learn enough about how to grow a giant pumpkin for your son since you been here? This is a sport for anybody, professional, non-professional. You should give it a try.

This is becoming a reaccuring theme "i will not use it when i have to pay"...which leads me to believe that someone is scarving for free products!!! Does that sound rude? If so, I appologize!!! Peace, Wayne
PS...growing AG's...you stated on 2/17 "I will do so"...the rest of the quote was "this season" ?? Waffling, any idea what that means?

Geez Amelio, it almost seems like you come here to pick fights? you disrespect everybody, put people down, insult us, I mean, why do you come here, you even said you do not like giant pumpkins or want to grow them. Now our seeds are not good enough for you? You do nothing but try to be little us, placate us with your laboratory scientific talk, half of which nobody understands or cares to. Can't you just chill-relax.

Richard B, the best thing you can do for yourself is to go to the top of the home page and click on User Settings and add amelio to your ignore list. Its the best thing Ive done this year.

Amelio, I feel very sorry for you. It seems to me like you only get pleasure by trying to act superior and like you know everything and through belittling the opinions of others. You are a smart *ss and a bully. Most of all though, I feel sorry for your child, who will most likely turn out to be just like his dad.

I tried out Forchlorfenuron on one Plant last Year and I got no Fruitset on this Plant.
I don't know if Forchlorfenuron was the Reason.
The dosage of a few ppm is not easy.

If you like to use Forchlorfenuron ask Chris Zhang from China panpanchem01@gmail.com . I had no Problems. The Price was USD 47.6 for 100g + Shipping-Costs and Western Union Fees.
