Hi Arvin,

I've never tried the 'smoke' method, although I did pick up a small packet of 'smoked soil' that was meant to be mixed with potting soil for improving germination. I used it on something a year or so back but didn't do any comparisons. I have GA3, probably more than enough for my lifetime, so if we won't get in trouble for mailing it, I could send you some if you really can't find it there. Try asking at a University Biology Department first.

Some recent N. amp seeds from Papua New Guinea almost all molded out in the germination boxes. I got a message from the supplier (too late!) to soak them in GA3 and mist with fungicide before planting. Anyone that received those seeds from me please be advised! Now I wish I had tried it on those!
