What root booster

I can't tell if this thread is bait for customers or actually disclosing a root booster worked. If you guys wanna know root boosters that for sure work it would be NAA (Naphthaleneacetic Acid) and IBA (Indole-3-Butyric Acid)..

You don't need this shit though, I used it in the past, crazy roots, no change in frootz. If anything it just stresses the shit out of the plant and redirects energy to growing roots instead of flowers and foliage.

Naphthaleneacetic Acid (NAA):

  • NAA is a synthetic plant hormone categorized as an auxin, a natural plant growth regulator.
  • Auxins like NAA are crucial for various plant growth processes, including root formation.
  • NAA is commonly used in rooting hormone formulations due to its effectiveness in stimulating root initiation and development in plant cuttings.
  • It is effective at low concentrations and promotes the growth of primary and lateral roots.
  • NAA influences cell division and elongation in plant tissues. When applied to cuttings, it encourages cells near the cut end to divide and differentiate into root cells, leading to the development of a new root system.
Indole-3-Butyric Acid (IBA):

  • IBA is a synthetic auxin commonly used in rooting hormones.
  • It shares structural similarities with natural auxins, enabling it to mimic their effects within plants.
  • Similar to NAA, IBA promotes root growth and initiation in plant cuttings.
  • IBA primarily influences cell division and differentiation, particularly in cambium and meristematic tissues of plant stems.
  • When applied to cuttings, IBA stimulates the formation of callus tissue, which eventually gives rise to roots.
FYI Clonex for example uses IBA

note they are using only 0.3% IBA in clonex rooting gel.

Not a specific root booster as such, "RAW Grow Microbes". Tried many root boosters but the microbes seem to work best for me, I grow in coco drain to waste and the plants in the photo would have been getting fed around 1.1 ec. I don't add microbes to the main feed res as It costs too much and I think most of them die quickly and sour the res. I hand feed the microbes or in the case of RAW powder sprinkle and water in and at every re-pot. I de-chlorinate all water with Envii Chlorine Klear and never feed much higher than 1.3 ec in full flower GH Trio. I change to RAW Flower Microbes after flipping.
When I chop and open up the pots the roots are beautiful. Tried many types of microbes and Raw seems to work best for me, every 10 days.
