Unfortunately it is. GA3 or the fridge will be your only way until next winter.

Figured:p gh3 is kind of pricy on ebay. Did the fridge thing ..this time i wont be impatient and pull out a bit early haha..getting good germination on all the tropical sundews and decent for the neps( failed for a bit with old seed)...but the temperate stuff i suck at like sarracenia and temp sundews. I had okay germ on typical flytraps but i have a feeling they barely needed cold strat

The hardest part about this is measuring out the 0.01 g mass of the ga3.

I have a 0.1 mg scale so I use it. You can buy a scale from DealExtreme that measures down to a mg. (only really accurate to ~10mg) and use it for about $20. Or you can roughly divide it into tenths. Make a solution of ~100mg in 100 cc. Use 10 cc of that for 10 mg. Keep the solution frozen and the powder in the fridge.

If our spring so far is any indication, you should save your $ and put them outside for cold strat.

The lower end will not really be 1 mg, maybe accurate to 10 mg or so. A real mg scale would cost a few hundred $'s.

If you mean a pinch between your thumb and index finger, that would be maybe around 10 mg or so. Try enough alcohol to dissolve it and add 40 cc water.
