iTop's Organic Rooting Trial

Very nice bro. Hopefully you start to see some more thick fuzzy roots here soon. Good luck bro.

im jealous..... a few more of mine died and they had no roots.... i still have a few looking strong so we will see

Nice, i'll post a vid. This stuff is kinda sketchy, organic nonetheless
Glad i'm seeing roots
Don't worry Kman, they'll come

Awesome stuff iTop. Willow should work great. I have posted about using willow before as it's a great natural rooting hormone (basically it's packed with Auxins - plant building blocks).

Some things I found:
Keep the mixture in the fridge.
I would generally make new batches every few days.
Use the mixture to water the clones and plants as well (but dilute it).
When making it, don't boil the water, just soak the branches (the furry growth is the best) in warm water.

Good luck.

Peace, DST

Hey man wanted to give you my update on my new rooting experiment:

Roots @ 8 days, i saw them yesterday @ 7 days which tells me roots probably popped out @ 6 days from cutting. 9 of 21 showed roots by 7 days, 13 of 21 @ 8 days - Beats my previous methods, hats off to CC for the recomendation - per 1gal water - 60ml aloe juice (NO sodium benzoate), 30ml fulvic acid, 5ml potassium silicate (protekt)

Those are some great looking roots man! Cheers
DST, Thanks for the info! Much appreciated

willow water didn't work for me.. such a disappointment... just pulled like 7 more cuttings today i have 3 left.. it looks like the stem inside the jiffy pellets rotted they were mushy brown when i pulled them out going to go get some rooting hormone dip that's always done the trick before..


Super bummed what a setback..

officially all my clones are dead..

They looked so good...

Thats a bummer man! Maybe higher dose? ad no boiling.
Mine is officially potted, but one isnt rooting, but looks super green
So hopefully its on its way

you can root a cutting off a healthy plant in just water!!! This is OLD stuff, not just for cannabis, but for all plants.

^^^^Had about 6 cuts of Basil too much for dinner one night, through the extras in a glass of water in the kitchen window, two months later they are happy and all i've done is add water when it goes low, huge mass of roots in the bottom 1/3 of the glass mug lol, we can't forget we're just dealing with another plant, they all live by more or less the same rules.

It's why I mentioned the Aloe, the same rooting compounds in willow are found in aloe, and you don't have to mess around with dealing with the willow....Just find a jug at the health food store that does not contain sodium benzoate

I heard about the Aloe before
Think i'll give that a try, next run at clones
Update: Both have roots, first to root has already been potted, second is still rooting
will have a video up soon

Well i had pictures of the roots, but lost them on my pc
Think they were deleted, or they're on an sd card somewhere
So i'll post pics of the plas, or open up a grow journal
