Rooting Hormones Not Safe ?

[Don Geno]

hey rollie pollies just a quick question I bought this root hormone for cuttings called Rapid Root Root Inducing Powder and it states do not use on food crops im assuming this wont be good to use on medical cannabis but why and will it be fine to use after all? It contains Indole 3 - butyric acid 0.3 percent and other ingredients 99.7 percent also says harmful to skin if absorbed or inhaled as well as a environmental hazard i know diatomacious earth has the same hazard labeling but can be used on food crops help me out guys should i go bak to ph balanced water or another rooting solution?

Strongly suggest dip n grow for rooting assistance if it's an option. But yeah, as QW said, it's safe, wear gloves when using any rooting hormones (I don't with dip n grow, but it's not as concentrated.) honestly though, honey works almost as well as any other method and if you spill any on you, it's tasty.

(that said, when I decided to say what the fuck and attempt to clone my 5 week old christmas tree, I used dip-n-grow)

Honey works great if you don't mind waiting a few extra days for roots to show. Which for me is no big deal. I also don't have an issue using IB3 rooting hormones, so it's whatever I have on hand. As for IB3 being safe for using on products consumed by humans I'd guess you will be relatively safe in doing so.
