Anyone play with Gibberellic Acid before? How did it go?

Anyone play with Gibberellic Acid before?
I sprayed an indica (Black Sugar) with it heavily during veg and produced explosive growth during flower but not what you would call desirable.

Abstract
Four-week-old Cannabis sativa L. plants were treated with 1 ml. of gibberellic acid or indoleacetic acid at concentrations up to 250 p.p.m. The treatment was repeated at weekly intervals for 3 weeks. These plants were harvested 1 week after the last treatment. Gibberellic acid caused a significant increase in height and a decrease in the weight of leaves and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol content Indoleacetic acid produced no significant changes.
Gibberellic acid when applied at a concentration of 100 µM enhances the amount of THC and CBD in the plant tissue. One reasonable hypothesis for this action is that the application of Gibberellic acid adds to the regulation of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid, ramping the level of ethylene, thus leading to increased THC and CBD content (Mansouri et al., 2011). ...
Thanks for setting me off on new quest for knowledge.

Hydroponic or soil - differences in taste?From what I can see on this website, hydroponic systems tend to give greater yields than soil-grown projects. However, I also read that the aroma is not as rich. Did someone here try to grow the same strain once in soil and once hydroponic and can give a personal taste review?Feeding. Other

PH and EC problemHi, I have a problem with my plants. I´ve checked the runoff and was 7.0 PH.
When I was fertilizing I gave them nutes with PH 6.1 EC 1.2 and runoff was EC 0.4 and PH 6.8. When plain water EC 0.4 PH6.0 and 5.8, runoff EC was 0.4 -0.8, PH 6.7-7.0.

Hydro - Ec stable, Ph dropping - Raise EC instead of lowering it ?I have the feeling that when there's not a lot of nutes, PH drops but it means I have to add EC, not lower it. I noticed this when I fed them with a very low EC. I added more EC and they ate a lot right away. What did you experience ? Has to do with them eating all cal-mag ? THXWeek 7

FISH SHIT during flush - why? TIA ^_^To add or not to add fish shit. The bottle states that adding it during flushing will help break down salts and nutes, allowing flushing to happen faster. Seems logical to me though I hear JUST WATER is the way to go the last couple weeks.

Hydro - 3 strains. What consequences after slight veg overfeeding ? Do they look dark ?I've had technical issues on veg that resulted in a slight overfeeding and now they don't want to feed much (tap water 0.4 + 0.3 nutes), 5 days after 12/12. I'm not sure they will accept very much more, even when I'll introduce flo nutes. Will yield be weak ? And quality ? ThxWeek 5
