Root gel and some experiments

Not sure if anyone has addressed this. I've read most of this thread so I apologize if I missed it. Can I still say that my buds are organic if I use root tone throughout the grow? I have some clones from the plants in my gallery that I've been spraying with the stuff. My leaves on my first plant were at most 4" across. Now the leaves on these clones are bigger than my hands. I cloned them on 3/28 and started spraying them with RT two weeks ago.

is it organic root tone? i'd say yes.

coo I've got a few strains that I'm experimenting with. RT/no RT. I'll get pictures in a few weeks when there's more to show.

Ive been mixing small amount of rooting gel into my plants solution since my first post in this thread. But on one of my two plants. The two plants look entirely different, the one with root gel is really bushy with Loads of new growth where as the other one has barely any new growth and is taller / less bushy. This could be down to being under different light etc so im not saying its the root gel but its something to consider.

Also the plant i have been giving the root gel has recently began to show something i have never seen before, and nor have the people whov been in my journal. This is again probably down to genetics, but the thing is the other plant isnt showing it.. Look:





The first image has 13 spikes in total (one small one is hidden in the photo) Im new to all this but ive never seen development like that in the center of the fan?!

I want to see more of that!

looks like your leaf has an erection

Has anyone tried this product?( Wilson liquid root stimulator) It lists nutes at 5-15-5 and 0.005% indole3-butyric acid. " For a fast start for new plants, seedlings, bedding plants, and shrubs" is what the blurb says..

Not I.

That odd leaf growth is interesting. It's reminding me of double-blossom cultivars and the like.

and mr giggle..... I am sorry but I have to ask..
if you look out your window is this what you see?


You fellers are starting to worry me....
but I sure love for it....

I have that Wilson Roots Gel and I am going to mix it up and try it out on one of my plants. Tomorrow is their watering day. I'll let you know what happens in a few days.

Indole-3 Butyric acid is the active ingredient in the Take Root Cloning powder that i feed the moose.

Thanx Pan.That's what I wanted to know. I'm using this now, will update with results.

hey guys, I've been googling and calling around and I can't find any truly organic rooting hormone. I found a recipe for a rooting tea made out of weeping willow bark but that's about it. Anyone have any ideas?

My root gel claims that it is organic but i dont know how true this is. All i know is it fricken stinks. I have never smelled anything so vile in my life.

I went back 8 pages and didn't see you mention what you're using. Hook me up brother man! Stinky, pooh. No pain, no gain.

This is one of the coolest little projects that i have encountered in a while.... IS this going to be safe to consume... i would think so as long as you flush good... but hey...

So check this out... I donot use root gel.... I use this oldschool product called dip 'n grow... it works great for roots so i wonder if it will work for this... I went ahead and added 1/4 tsp to my clone bubbler (i have 1 seed in there and want to see what it will do... I also mixed 1/4 tsp of it into my spray bottle and sprayed my outside plant with it.... Will see in a couple of days.... I m not brave enough to do it on my 4 that i am flowering.. hehehe...Ill experiment on the outside sister and the seed for now... If it works good and doesnt kill it then ill add to the hydro ladies.... thanks for the find... ill let you know the results using this dip n grow...


OH yeah by the way .. this dip and grow is like 7 bucks compared to 17 something for the root gel also its a concentrate i would definately recommend you checking it out.

If it smells like shit it's usually organic as a good rule of thumb.

its called "growing success - organic rooting gel" Based in UK though so not sure if you could get it? It probably isnt the gel thats causing my plants to give me the thumbs up but its the only variable between my two plants that i can think of.
