Calcium Carbide Lumps 50g Bottle

This creates Acetylene gas, which will cause Pineapple plants to fruit. Place a few granules in the center of the plant with a little bit of water. Worked great.

A variety of chunky calcium stones; the smaller ones make for a faster light, and the larger stones make for a nice long burn. 10/10 two thumbs up to your bumbs. It's an excellent product will buy it again, do recommend.

As described

Very nice bottle and good calcium carbide. Not the best in terms of purity but generates acetylene pretty well. Do not use this for anything food related as there are traces of very toxic heavy metals like arsenic in calcium carbide. Using calcium carbide to help food grow has been outlawed for commercial purposes due to toxicity so just a heads up for everyone using this on their food. Use it for experiments only.

I use these small pellets to encourage my pineapple plants to grow fruit when the plant is about 16-18 months old. I’ve had great success with this and each and every time I’ve produced a fruit.

I’ve been growing a pineapple plant for 2 years and it would never sprout. After watching a couple videos, I decided to try this method out and see if it would work. I placed a medium sized piece in and poured water like the instructions said. It started fizzing and smoking exactly as I imagined it. Weeks went by and I kept checking it every day for about 5 weeks, and I thought for sure that it did not work. I even thought about trying another piece just in case I didn’t do it correctly. Luckily my patience prevailed and I saw a flower bud coming up. This works!!! Don’t doubt it. And don’t buy the cheaper “fake” rocks.

The carbide works well and there was enough for a carbide mining lamp. Shipping was not as slow as I expected. Other reviewers had experienced slow shipping, I however live in Alaska and normally wait a little longer for my items anyway.The only problem I have with this product is the price, I paid $10 for 50g (1.76oz), I wold have found 250g more reasonable for that price.This much carbide is enough to power a carbide mining lamp.I made a video of how to use it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbHZqtLJQ4g

I watched a few YouTube videos then ordered this. it is useful for pushing reluctant pineapples to set fruit. I used the empty bottle method (watch some videos) so the gas was exposed to the core of the plant but the heat did not damage the leaves there. It is slow acting. It will still be 2-4 additional weeks to see if it works, but presumably I will have the same result as the video posting people.
