Root gel and some experiments

I am doing this!!! Actually already did. here is a picture or two. it just hit a light a few mins ago tho so its kinda fucked up. It'll be ok i think tho

What are you useing when and how much? Big intrest of mine ....looks good though...

It Would Be Good It It Swells Up Buds

Ok I do not know the concnentration but it is Indule-4 I used Half a cup watered into soil. Then I scored the sides of my plant a little and Used an ounce or two mixed with a baby bit of water to make a paste and I painted my little girl.. just to see what happens. It is still growing strong

So that IAA not IBA ???

no im sorry for any confusion its IBA

Because of its nature.. IBA & IAA, it travels in a downward path. Hense it creates roots ( to put simply)

He is my new EXPERIMENT feed & dose schedual.......... find attached, it list/schedual for a few of the top hormones that are HIGHLY used in the AGRI industry.
includes: hormone, PGR`s, Vitimans, Nutes, Micro additives.......

What do you guys think ????
Everything is either as suggested on lable or proven experiment papers that I have read.

I've decided to give this a little try. I have 9 plants on the edge of the garden who are smaller than the others and decided to dose them with IBA.

For those of you wanting to try using IBA in the form of rooting powder, a good tip for use is that this substance mixes with water like flour and corn starch, the solution will come together more efficiently using cold water.

I mixed 1/4 teaspoon into 2 cups of cold water, and gave this to the plants in addition to their normal watering. In mimic of the first individual to use the powder in this thread, i'll just be giving the plants this one large dose. The plants will be coming down within 40 days, so i'll be able to analyze the data soon as well. 3 of the 9 were left undosed as a control.

Somebody is actually going to do this proerly.....
Try Multicorp - Plant starter.. 2 active chems` = IAA & NAA should be the perfect mix at 3-4 weeks to help with both root growth and FEMALES..

I had to scrap my expiramental plant for more space it wasnt doing too well anyways. it stopped growing entirely. then again i painted rooting powder on the whole thing. When i pulled it it had insane roots tho. the entire container was all root. So i think it concentrated all the growth on the roots.

good luck anyone else who tries. I hope for a break thru.

keep it up ~drgreen

Niether will induce foila growth - these creat Auxin which ONLY TRAVEL SOUTH... so it would only develop roots until you changed feed schedual.....

I ran across this thread and wanted to say well done, great information here, nothing definitive yet but for anyone that likes to experiment, like I do, this is a great avenue to play around with.

So I have thrown my hat/plants into the ring and started some testing with IBA and will post as I have information you all might find interesting.

First test was to dissolve 10mg of 0.6 IBA in water and feed it to my one of my Kush mothers in soil. This strain of Kush is very potent, very tasty but is very, very difficult to clone (4 weeks to start seeing roots, 6+ weeks before planting in dirt), so I was hoping to up the rooting capabilities of one of my mothers with an IBA dose. So far not so good, I have posted the initial picture before watering and a picture 11 hours later, lots of drooping going on. So I have flushed her with some water hoping to lessen the effects of the IBA, apparently my dose was too large. We'll see how she does to recover and if she recovers sufficiently, we'll see how her clones do at rooting. (Pictures posted backwards, this mornings is first and last nights is second.)

The other picture included here are some clones I am trying to root in a misting cloner I built. I have an ultrasonic fog generator that is humidifying the clones, there are also some clones in there that I recently extracted from rockwool, those are 4-5 weeks old and have some roots already. All of these clones have been generously dipped in IBA rooting gel to see what will happen. I should mention that I am using Technaflora Root Tech, the only ingredient listed on the jar is IBA 0.6%.

I'm basically trying anything and everything I can to find a better way to root this hard to root strain.

I've have very limited success rooting in rockwool, low relative humidity makes keeping the humidity up and the temperature down very difficult so I am trying other avenues, bubble cloner, misting cloner, jiffy pellets and my hormone experiments.

Much respect to everyone in this thread that came before me and inspired these experiments.

TKG

im now starting seedlings and im going to feed it with my powder cloning hormone mixed with water and im comparing it with an other seedling that sprouted at the same time

1 gallon of water boiled with 1 cup of alfalfa.
2 tsp of tiger bloom
1 tsp of schultz take root IBA powder
enough vinegar to bring the solution down to 5.5ph
Total PPM is 1390.

Let's see if these plants die or thrive!

I got though about 10 pages of this before i decide to add something. Not sure if it has been hit up about alot of the rooting compounds are using Naphthyl acetic acid in the range of .2%. Some along side Thiram which is toxic to people but when used for orginal urpose of rooting poses no problem. You although can get your NAA from another source which may have been overlooked Superthrive.

One thought, adding rooting gel or whatever to a topping or FIMing point?

i didnt read every post on here and i dont know if somebody already asked this ......but i was what is you bend a branch and cut the ends like you were cloning them and put the gel on them but then put the branch in the dirt while its still connected to the plant ...so you get two seprate root systems ...do you think this would increase yield of plant seeing as the plant would be able to bring up more nutrients ??Im high and this was just a thought ...

it is much more efficient to simply take a clone and root it alone.

Way to rain on my parade fdd i felt like a genius for about 2 minutes lol but yea you're rite what i said would just be a waste of time but itll be cool to try it tho

where you get the gel from and how much was it im intersted

well i live in cali so i just go to one of the MANY hydroponic stores in my area ...Im sure you can get them on the internet if no stores in your area sells it
