I can't seem to find my directions for Anthesis. Do you put the whole dose(30 ml) on one pollination? Or just a couple of shots of the mist? How long is it viable in the misting bottle? How do you store it after mixed? Thanks.

I didn't get any either, Matt?

I was just going to make the 30ml and do a couple sprays.

I think I saw that was all you need in a post somewhere.

I can e-mail complete directions so please contact me and I can get you all the details you need. But to provide answers to your specific questions...

-30mL should do about 3 pollination as you only need to apply until run off and 10mL as a fine mist will easily cover a 48 hour old pumpkin.

-Once mixed the contents are only viable for a short period and if you have a pollination the next day a new batch must be made up. This is a good thing as the idea is the hormones break down once added to the distilled water and provide simply an extended cell signal. If they did not break down the signal would be to loud and long and as a result there could be negative effects as a result.

-I mix my "Anthesis" the morning I am going to apply it and then make my application(s) and once done I simply dispose of what ever I do not use.

If anyone else had any other questions please let me know. (And a special thanks to the grower that sent me this link so I could reply this fast;-)

You should have enough to share with any growers in your area if they have a pollination the same day Dyberry.

I went to mix and found my small blue vial completely dry. Has anyone had this issue?

I think there is so little material in the blue vials they just look dry.

the blue vial has a very small amount in it, if you have a syringe, you can carefully add some distilled water to the vial and then draw it back out in the syringe and then empty syringe in the mixing container. Flush is a couple of times and you will be sure to get the contents out.

Dose anyone know where i can get this form?
I wouldn't mind trying it out on one of my plants this season just to see the results.
Tried the email on team-pumpkin but no reply as of yet.
Cheers.

Matt Debacco (Matt D.) you can get his email from the little envelope in his diary (if clicking it gives you an error just hold the mouse over it and look at lower left of the window - it will be displayed there) or you can right click and copy shortcut, paste into your email and remove the mailto: from in front of the address.

It may take him a while to answer emails. We are in the thick of pollination time and a lot of people are emailing him im sure, but he is good about getting back to you.

I'm pretty sure he posted that he doesn't have any more right now, and the shelf life is 3 months I believe.
