    My only experience is from biology labs at uni many decades ago. Other than that it is a natural plant hormone which we have all been exposed to throughout our life through eating plants.

    Morning James. Welcome to the forum. When I was studying 50 years ago we used gibberellic acid in the lab to get potatoes to sprit. It begs the question nowadays 'Why?' as they are perfectly capable of doing this without any assistance. That is my sum experience of it
    I do use an organic rooting powder nowadays for some (not all) cuttings but the canny producers fail to list the ingredients whilst stating they are from plants. I would not want to use gibberellic acid these days.
