Root gel and some experiments

Cyphen said:
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.

My thoughts exactly,from what ive been learning of Indole-3 it does just what you said,from some of the other things ive read it's pretty unpredictable as far as effect.

I kept a pretty decent log of things i did to different plants & at what stage of the grow these things were done,next round i plan on giving half of them the exact doseage at the exact same time into their flowering cycle.

I think the stuff works wonders but being that im not a botanist or master gardner anything i think is pure speculation.
 
Here are my plants, the two in one pot in the front and the two directly next to it I have given rootex cloning gel, approx 1 1/2 tbsp mixed with 1-11/2 pints of PHd water total, spread out to them all. They are over 1 month and a half old and flowered early so I dont necessarily care about them right now, they are giving me problems, cant get em back to veg it seems.

this is all legal BTW, I am a caretaker.

Yea, I'm with you. This thread has really inspired me (along with many it seems) to start really examining and playing with phytohormones. I've got four plants about 3 weeks in flowering that I've begun foliar feeding with a light IBA / nute mix, as well as supplementing their regular watering with a more concentrated version of same. It's impossible to speak conclusively without any control group, but I'm very happy with what I've been seeing.

My unwarranted speculation regarding the apparent unpredictability is that IBA serves as a rapid boost to whatever phase of growth the plant is currently undergoing, i.e; if the plant has had its root system severed, and is diverting local nutrients & presumably phytohormones to the wounded area, IBA will signal immediate and rapid (comparatively) growth specifically in the root zone. When the plant is diverting all its internal resources to flower formation, I would expect a large dose of IBA to be delivered to the bud sites and have its greatest effect specifically on bud growth. Just like giving testosterone to a runner and a rower, both will experience massive growth, but in very different ways, according to their individual training parameters.

I think there is some amazing promise here, as you've very impressively demonstrated, and some really exciting experimentation to be done in the general area of plant hormones. Regardless of what's known to be certain, I think IBA is definitely worth using almost any time of growth (one $5 jar could go heavy for at least one or two grows)
 
Also, I think the result is highly subject to the available nutrients. In other words, give it to a seedling, or a nutrient deprived plant, and you will probably see little difference, since the available nutrient levels are so low. Consequently, it could be expected that a hydroponically grown plant would respond more noticeably than a soil grown plan, due to the more constant levels of easily absorbed nutrients.
 
been keeping up with this everyday. great job everyone. and yes nute utilization does make sense. but i remember a while back someone thought this would let you stay in 12/12 longer? like longer flowering time?

that was the growth cycle of da moose...... sniffle sniffle
and with out the pics I fear it will become only a faided memory.
And not The shinning example N PotStareAtDe We all strive for.
 
I have been adding hormex gel to my solution everytime i change nutes, it says rigt there on the bottle to feed your plants with it, I beleive it also reduces stress , use it right up to the end ,it has inreased vitality fer ser.!

Everything from that grow has been harvested,the main test plant had a much larger yeild over all the others,she also had a lengthened bud cycle durring the time that the trichomes change colors.

Oh hey.. um... you'd let us know if you like.. you know, dropped a 2nd set of balls or something really weird, right? :| All this talk of hormones... :eyesmoke:
 
Plant hormones are entirely different than human hormones. As well, they are already present to some degree in any fruit or vegetable produce, so it's guaranteed you're getting some level of phytohormone ingestion already (unless you live in America, where it's entirely possible your diet contains little to no organic material.)

And finally, everybody knows Panhead already twice the nuts of any mortal man, so the whole point is moot from the start.
 
lol rooting gel is a sterilizer and also contains harmones too stimulate growth and development hense why the results stems also swell due too the main tap root bottoming out in the pot or cup and allows the plant too feel secure enough too intake vast amounts of water swelling the plant tissues within the stock strengthining and allowing for new upper growth
 
Just a thought but did you know that venus fly traps have the fastest growing cells in the plant kingdom? I just sprayed the shit out of my VFT plant. What was that movie about that plant????
