The study used Completely Randomized Design (RAL) with 4 (four) treatments and repeated 5 times, so that the total of all observation units were 20 seeds. The treatment in this research is GO (pure soil / top soil 100%); G1 (peat 25% + pure soil 75%); G2 (peat 50% + pure soil 50%); G3 (peat 75% + pure soil 25%). Based on the most appropriate weaning experiment, the effect of gaharu plant stem diameter is the use of 25% peat soil media combination and 75% soil / top soil. The use of weaning media related to the high growth value of gaharu plants is not recommended based on this experiment, because the best of treatment result.
