One of my salvia plant's apical tip is exhibiting cluster like growth which in my experience is an indication that a plant is starting to flower.
It does not surprise me that this is only happening to the one salvia plant that I gave the most GA3 foliar spray to. I did not think salvia could flower when this small.

Pic 1 is the cluster.
Pic 2 is another plant for comparison.

Thoughts anyone?

Hey Sunshine

Bro I really hope that is a flower bud, if it is then u must try that cement tek I hope that is the start of flowers and not just the tip splitting into 2 branches? As for GA3 man u guys are lucky 2 have that stuff 2 play around with keep us updated plz.

whoa, that really does look like it's thinking about flowering... I hope so!


... now I've gotta give this a shot:)

Seems like it's too small to flower, but you never know with hormones.

No way Da. I highly doubt it is branching out because;
A. Salvia branches from the crotches of leafs.
B. This is a top cut, not a mid cut.
C. Any branching hormones would have been canceled out from my massive doses of GA3.

I'm not sure if salvia can self pollinate. I'd be nervous putting cement on it though. I feel like it would interfere with it or something. If it is indeed a flower I will let nature run its course.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so, Saros! For a minute there I thought it might be my mind playing tricks on me...

Maybe it will be a bonsai salvia! hahah Man, if I can get 1(!!!) viable seed from this thing I will be STOKED. I will also be semi famous in the salvia growing community for discovering that massive doses of GA3 prompts flowering in salvia, regardless of size. Hey, a guy can dream can't he?
