...for example:
That's the stuff alright......seems it puts the flowering hormones to sleep in weed and just helps put humans to sleep period. I'm thinking about trying it on some of the smaller cultivars of autos......Fastbuds come to mind for me. I get great frosty nugs but usually only a 4 to 5oz plant.....now if I extend that veg a few weeks I could grow some monsters even in soil.
L-Tryptophan
Tryptophan is an essential amino acid and is used by the brain to produce serotonin, the inhibitory neurotransmitter responsible for normal sleep. Insufficient amounts of serotonin are often responsible for insomnia, depression, ADD, restless leg syndrome and many other disorders. Tryptophan is...www.jomarlabs.com

Ordered some too. Got two of my Moby Grapes that just popped in small pots that'll be good for testing. Spray one and use the other as control. That guy mentioned that it's used in tobacco industry to prevent flowering but only could find papers on cutting/pinching being done to keep flowering in line. Plenty of examples of it being used on food crop to increase yield, smell and flavor. Ingesting vs. smoking so unless I can confirm it's used on tobacco I'll be treating it like coloidial or STS and not smoking it.
I don't think there will be an issue with smoking plants treated with it. Seems it's metabolized by the plant regardless if fed through soil or foliar.
Super interesting. Generally it's discouraged linking to other forums here I guess, but I found the icmag thread just by searching for "l-triptophan". (I thought it was spelled with a 'y'...) I'm going to keep an eye out for concrete details about dosage and application, it seems like it could be a fairly cheap experiment.
Yeah I wasn't crazy about linking there but since it was related to auto's and such a monumental deal I just couldn't not.
And that was really without even trying, for what that's worth. I only even watered the plant directly twice, early on, then it just wicked up water from the windowbox when I bottom-fed the others or watered them to runoff. I was going to prune a branch from the 24k that had been pushed into a corner and wasn't getting much light, but I had a leftover buffered coco and a gap from moving a male out of the tent, so I decided to see if it'd root. I moved it a few times to take pictures on its own, but otherwise it completely grew itself.
Cool, please keep us posted. It sounds like you'll get to it well before I would.Yeah I wasn't crazy about linking there but since it was related to auto's and such a monumental deal I just couldn't not.
Got a bag of it on the way to see what's up.
