Experimentation with IBA and rooting hormones.

Ok so I had a great grow going, and I freaked out one day cause I am a little crazy and take meds for it and everything, so I ripped em up.This after topping them heavily the day prior to produce 4 tops with one topping.

The plants sat ripped up from the stem in the grow room for maybe an hour, and my wife repotted.

I left em that way for maybe 4 days and the plants only kept dying, except for the tiny secondary growth at the nodes(Well I didnt just leave them there, I did everything available with my soil to save em).

I uprooted these plants again, having just topped the plants and attempting to clone em with a dwc cloner.So I decided to gently dislodge the soil, and put these in my dwc bubbler, as only one of my clones were anywhere large enough to even fit in the thing.

A few days later and one of the plants have white roots now, although the others roots still look horrible.I will soak the roots in an IBA solution for a bit, and then return them to the bubbler and see what takes place.

I have all of this documented in 1080p, the videos are quite large at that resolution, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a program that could reduce my mp4 size without losing much quality.

This is at 4 days after ripping them up like a madman...

This is 1 day after adding them to the dwc bubbler, note that the front plant second from the right has a small white root growing, and the large healthy plant is a clone that has slight roots showing.

I also tried to research the use of IBA and other hormones in other applications than cloning, and all I could come up with is this...

I will continue to posts vids, and I sish someone could really help me find a good file editing/file reducing program. Thanks guys.

Hope they make it!. I've had plants ripped out constantly and I just throw 'em in the cloner; they always bounce back.

Here is a new video, where I made an IBA solution, looked at plant growth, and left the plants in the solution for about 2 hrs, now they are back in the bubbler and I will have another video of the progress when some is made.

I will have a new video up later today if there is enough root growth.

Here is my new video for today, if you will notice apparently the IBA solution I made is working, as is evidenced by the many white hairs growing off my dead rootsock.

Also check out the health on these babies, a VAST improvement. They are well on their way to recovery.
