If they do which im sure they will... Then you may have discovered an amazing technique to boost yield. From now on all you can do is try and maximize the use of the root gel. Worst that could happen is you get a average yield.. Best that could happen.. well we can only imagine lol

No before chop pic's but i will put up some after drying pic's.

Right now the moose is sitting quietly in her now pot with new soil & a good shot of nitrogen,im hoping for half as good results revegging her as fdd got with his hijack.

It was tough to cut her down though.:sad:

Congratulations, Panhead - that's a beauty. This whole thread has given me a new line of interest for my current grow. Was the Moose growing in soil or hydro?

HORMEX is a cloning root gel , pretty spendy too, but it says right there ont the bottle, use as a weekly suplement to water your plants , along with reg feeding, so , i put 5 tsp in with my solution each time i mix, seems to work very good.

so adding a concentrated paste of this stuff (after it is diluted) will give super yields? only after flowering or what? what do we know for sure?

The only thing i know for sure is that something happened,i strongly suspect that the Take Root rooting hormone i used in the paste had an effect on growth & yeild.

What we do know for sure i that not all brands of cloning powder are safe to use,for example Root Tone is not the right stuff due to pesticides in the powder.

Crap! That's the only stuff I've used before, admittedly many many moons ago and with plants like geraniums. I'm wondering if there's a FAQ on rooting hormones... haven't run across anything just yet.

For regular colning Root Tone is ok but for giving full grown plants massive doses of the hormone seems a bad thing.

I was looking for Root Tone & they only had one bottle of it so i bought the one bottle then decided to buy the Take Root at the same time,im sold on the Take Root stuff.

Sp do you think that theoretically the water with rooting hormone in it just increased the amount of roots the plant developed and therefore the amount of nutrients it could uptake?

I am going to go give soem of my clones that are budding early that I dont really care about, a dose of my rootex cloning gel in with their water.

I have no clue,i suspect that it has little or nothing to do with creating more roots,these plants were 3 ft tall with massive root systems before adding the hormone,i pulled all the plants & the ones without the hormone had pretty much the same root system as the plant that was heavily treated.

Indole-3 Butyric Acid stimulates general cell division ,hence growth, wherever absorbed. It does not have any specific effect on rooting ability (outside the obvious implication of increased growth rates.) My guess is the large dose gave it a massive kick in the ass towards growth right at the point when the plant was focusing its resources on budding.
