Update

The last control seed germinated, but that with the other recent one to germinate don't have any leaves. One of the control plants has lost a leaf and the other one is shriveling up. Most of the other seedlings with leaves already have grown a third one, and the ones with no leaves have stayed that way. Interestingly, one of the giberellic acid seedlings with the shriveled leaves has created two more leaves, both with the same distinct shriveled fashion.

Good:

Bad:

I've just started spraying the marked seedlings, Tuesday October 27th, so I'll try to do it every Tuesday, with a 1000 ppm concentration of giberellic acid. I'm worried that the giberellic acid might have lost its potency in some way, because I think it's protein based. I've been keeping it in the refrigerator and was told by the seller (Unitednuclear.com) that it should keep for about a year.

I sprayed each seedling from the top down 1-2 times, making sure that the whole of the plant had a few droplets, and that no acid mixed with the other plants.

Questions and comments are appreciated. (Any ideas on how I could test if the acid is still potent?)
