If I could draw your attention to the 'Experiment #2 - Growth Of Plants' section of the above ARS paper which states......

"One mg of 1-triacontanol was dissolved in one ml of chloroform, carefully diluted with de-ionized water to make a 0.1 mg/liter solution."

................................................................................................................................................................................................................


When using Alfalfa meal/straw/or tea as a supplement for plants yes the plants may well grow bigger and better than those without suplimentation because of the naturally high nutritional content of Alfalfa which consists of......

Alfalfa ingredients:

* Triacontanol
* Vitamin A
* Thiamine
* Riboflavin
* Pantothenic Acid
* Niacin
* Pyridoxine
* Choline
* Bentaine
* Folic Acid
* co-enzymes
* Crude proteins (16 - 25% in dry alfalfa)

Amino acids (% in alfalfa meal).

* Tryptophan, 0.3 %
* Aspartic Acid, 2.3%
* Threonine, 1.0 %
* Serine, 1.0%
* Glutamic Acid, 2.7%
* Proline, 1.2%
* Glycine, 1.1%
* Alanine, 1.1%
* Cystine, 0.2%
* Valine, 1.0%
* Methionine, 0.3%
* Isoleucine, 0.8%
* Leucine, 1.6%
* Tyrosine, 0.5%
* Phenylalanine, 1.0%
* Histidine, 0.4%
* Lysine, Total, 1.1%
* Arginine, 1.1%

Minerals (contained in dry alfalfa)

* Nitrogen 3.75-5.5 %
* Potassium .75 - 3.5 %
* Phosphorus .3 - .7%
* Calcium 1 - 2 %
* Magnesium .30 - 1 %
* Sulphur .2 - .5 %
* Manganese 30-200 ppm
* Iron 20-250 ppm
* Boron 20-80 ppm
* Copper 5-20 ppm
* Zinc 20-70 ppm

........but it is not due to the Triacontanol content in such a scenario because Triacontanol is not water soluble so can not be utilised by a plant without prior processing.
However, Triacontanol on it's own can be isolated from said Alfalfa meal/straw, purified to lab grade (IMAG1276 - Copy.jpg ) and then processed in such a way that a stable solution with water can be created, by using an intermediate chemical (Chloroform, Ethanol, Acetone, Polysorbate 20 with heat) to dissolve the Triacontanol in which is miscible with water so can then be diluted to use as a foliar spray.

I hope that clears up any misunderstanding.

I read the experiment bro. I was just pointing out that it can and has been used as a growth stimulant in plants. Now if it doesn't happen when making an alfalfa tea great I get that, but my plants love it so I'll continue using it.

I just thought it was an interesting read that it in fact it can be used to promote growth. With the way legalization is going im hoping to see some big things happening and finally be allowed to federally test this plant.

I will agree there is a lot of bs out there but there's a lot of good lil facts out there to that aren't doing any harm.

My statement wasn't directed towards you, it was just something I found interesting.

I left this forum years ago because of people talking...... well, like you.
I came back after making a friend who frequents this thread.......
I have not read anything from you that didn't sound condescending....

Namaste...... One Love...... Peace......

Take your own advice, sit down and smoke a bowl.
If you read back through the last couple of days and find all my posts questionable I would be very surprised.


Sometimes my posts may come across as condescending quite unintentionally Dan, sometimes they are brewed up especially for willful idiot's.

The post to RM3 was deliberate.


I speak my mind, I don't sugar coat anything or blow smoke up anybody's arse and I have very little tolerance for bullshit.
But if I make a post that comes across dodgy and it's not aimed at you then please do take it with a pinch of salt, others who know me a bit better may make a point about the post (Like DST did yesterday over the skill set), or just straight up ask me if I'm being a twat deliberately because there's usually a reason for it, if it's one of those bad hair days I'll quite happily apologise.



I return your Namaste Sir, peace. :joint:

OK.

A few of years old now but the veterans of the thread will remember these......

28 days 7.jpg (Yes, they're pink trichomes.)



And this little fatty was done flowering completely in 28 days dead (no it's not an auto).

Both in soil.

I remember smelly fingerz!!!!!

Do you still have that cut yorkie?

No man, unfortunately not.

I got rid of it because the stone wasn't to my liking, super cerebral with no body at all.

Don loved it though, that kind of buzz is right up his street.

I think Don lost his cut but I do remember he sent a snip to someone from this thread over in the U.S to grow outdoor's in their big garden plot, it would have looked the business as a big purple tree.

I don't know what happened to that, it didn't seem to appear again and I don't remember who it was he sent it to.
I think he's forgotten too.

Hey Alpha, good to see you, I had a feeling you might pop up to say hello. Hope you had a good smoke session with Dr.

Fuk me you lot can gas on a bit eh! (never thought I'd say that). Shit weather here today, and there was me thinking Spring had arrived.
lol thanks dst, The session was a great time, I'm hoping I was able to give him a proper birthday high 8-) He said he's never smelled any buds like the tangilope lol, it was funny when we were trying to figure out what it smells like

Sucks about the diagnosis AP, but like you said, it's nice to at least know what's going on. A good friend of mine deals with the same thing and posted this pic the other day. Made me laugh.

For sure jig! It's so strange how fast things like this can happen, my blood work 9 months ago were totatlly fine, was even negative for the arthritus though i felt more achy. I love that picture! I lol'ed at that heh, it's a trip what the human body is capable of

You trying to get me in trouble mate? I can neither confirm no deny anything. Wife was the one who decided to stay home for a couple months, so really she can't say anything.

Thank god this thread moves fast.

And alpha it is amazing the capability of the human body... most remarkable I find is it's ability to hear. Let's hear it for you getting those gears in motion.
