Ive used GA3 for hard to germinate seeds in the past with great results. I haven't used it for phalaris but im sure it would work. This is a simple way to apply it Use of GA3 - Ontario Rock Garden & Hardy Plant Society

If you're already growing tobacco, you can prepare a tobacco decoction and apply it with a brush. It's a pesticide.

If it's already used I'm not sure, but as long as it still has nicotine, yes.

I think any cheap lawn food would do. probably best to start low in case they get burned.
what sort of temperature fluctuations would we be looking at here to trigger germination in the more dormant seeds? Anyone have any good results to share with temps, times and light/dark that work consistently?
I have heard once of an accelerated protocol, but for fungi, where it needed successive ideal cycles to trigger fruiting, but a day could be condensed down to like 8 hours, so effectively 3 day cycles a day.
im wondering if this couldnt maybe be accomplished using a cheap peltier fridge, everyone probably has a crappy wine fridge, 4-can sized mini desktop fridge, or a 12v travel fridge that would probs go great on a simple $5 hardwarestore mechanical timer. they would make great little precision seed boxes rather than a fixed cold-source like a fridge.
