Microbes can use them as an energy source to produce more salts/ions..
And H2O2 can backfire pretty bad on the microbes.. CaO2 will buffer against those problems..
Unless your hormone is to act directly on root tissue, then applying it at root level is a waste or a scam (unless it isn't actually hormone).. By definition, a hormone is something that the plant can produce internally.. Typically the direction of travel is downwards.. Thats why they're typically applied to new foliage/stems..

I agree.. at the moment as per my dose schedual... carbs and sugars are my primary.. the induction of.... MAINLY FOLIA APPLICATION. Have used Cytokinins with in the watering program....
My understanding......
Auxin would be released when a root or shoot meristematic (young) cell finds that it contains more than enough shoot derived nutrients mainly sugar, and all other environmental conditions are favorable for growth.
and travel in southern direction only.
Cytokinin would be made when meristematic cells are bathed in more than enough nutrients of the sort normally provided by the root, mainly water and minerals and all other conditions are favorable for growth.
Northly direction only.
Gibberellin/Brassinostreroid would be made when mature cells have less than enough shoot nutrients, i.e. sugar and Oxygen to survive especially if environmental conditions are poor.
found in all areas especially new growth.

true to an extent but still not true

if that was entirely the case people couldnt water with sugar water and make there shit taste like crap but weigh more. and other things of the sort... and aldo if that was the case y do most hydrophonic solutions contain them????

truth is they can absorb a certain amount of anything it may kill it but it will draw some up none the less.. providing its nt to acidic and just fry it lol....

these are just two things that should help you think otherwise.... also different application plays a part when working with hormones....

sorry for the shitty examples i tried to make a long story short.... but to put it simply i disagree yet agree with you on that statement

Once I have all of these chemicals inline, I will do a proper experiment with photos every 2 days, use 10-15 SOG type plants of same strain.....
My spread sheet is geting there, still a long way off....

I'm curious about using h2o2, I always thought it was more of a hydro thing as it kills all the goodies in the soil mix.
We discussed it's use when I was doing my masters at uni about 2 years ago, but that was mainly about it's use in infection control.
I add Tarantula and Piranha with mollasses to my soil substrate and H202 would destroy them all.
I also aerate my water after letting it sit in the sun for an hour (1 hour is long enough to dissipate the chlorine) to add more oxygen to the soil.

Also about Cytokinins, I use Nytrozyme, it's great stuff and claims to increase Cytokinin properties, the natural plant hormones necessary for plant growth.
Some info here, or google for more.

Hydro typically aims for sterility, hence the abundance of H2O2.. To keep the soil happy you need to provide it in slow release form, hence CaO2.. Its a proven agricultural additive, and you can make it with H2O2 and lime, but its cheaper to buy I think..
Soils love fresh atmospheric air if you can find a way to pump it in somewhat.. That has oxygen, and nitrogen for the N-fixers..

That's why I aerate my water. Haven't heard of Ca02 so I'll check it out, but does it affect the benificial mycrobes?
