question on root hormone will give rep

hey got a ? if i mix root hormone(powder) in my soil will it help the root system grow better or faster?

rep points will be given to any help

No it will just cause the plant to get some funky leafs and abnormal groth trust me don't ask how I know..

No absolutley not if you wana build a bitchin root system get some excellerator. Sorry bud

yea thats just for softening the membrane of the clone so roots can grow through alot easier... it doesnt do anything for roots that already exist. if you want to do that get something designed for root growth, not rooting clones.

Glass freak is rite!

dont try it i also no of someone you did it (didnt turn out lol)

try getting some voodoo juice by avanced nutrients if you want to enhance your root system naturally

^^^ that shit is the best for what you want. and its not all chemicals.

There is no direct yes or no answer to your question,the answer to your question will depend soley on what type root hormone you are talking about,being that different brand rooting products are made with different hormones or chemicals there is no blanket yes it will work or no it wont work answer.

You've got Acetic acids,then you have Butyric acids,Auxins & Gibberlins,all used for cloning,these are the only true hormones in cloning products,then you have Willow Extract as well as Red Clover,Dandilion root & way too many other natural active ingredients used for root propogation to list,again to all depends on what active ingredient the cloning powder/gel contains.

The only true plant hormones used for cloning are of the Auxin/gibberlin group,most cloning gels do not contain any real growth hormones,if you stick to cloning products where the active ingredient is part of the Auxin group of plant hormones then most likely there will be a benifit to added root growth from direct feeding to an established root system.

Adding Auxin Hormones directly to the soil or mixing them in the soil would not be the prefered or accepted delievery method,you'd need to mix them with water far in advance of using them in order for them to disolve properly,then feed the plants the hormone along with their watering for it to be effective.

Look for cloning products that contain Indole-3 Butyric Acid or Indole-3 Acetic Acid,these are the 2 most important & benificial plant hormones known to the science of botany,Shultz makes 2 different products,one is called "Take Root" & the other is "Root Tone",both of these powder based products have been shown in testing to promote extended root growth when fed directly to mature plants within their daily waterings,ive personally tested both these products durring different trials in my gardens & got great success using Indole-3 Butyric acid laced "Take Root" powder, i fed Indole-3 Butyric Acid in mass doses to select test plants in their waterings & grew some of the most jaw dropping buds ive ever grown,the bud in my avatar (The moose) is a real bud grown with Indole-3 Butyric Acid being fed directly to the plant through it's root system.

Here's some links i used heavily for reference in my experiments with different plant hormones using various applications,there is much usefull information within these links that directly applies to growing better fatter buds faster, but.................. its not a quicky subject nor are there any quick answers but its all here.

This is a great link here,it shows examples of vitiman B use in botany & puts to rest the use of the snake oil called "Super Thrive" that many people use to grow weed with & claim all kinds of great results,take the time to read all the links & follow all the extended links,it will take you several days research but when you finish you'll have a fairly decent understanding of what plant hormones are & what other natural products that are mistakenly refered to as hormones when used in cloning are,you'll also have a understanding of how to implement the Auxin's in different ways to promote growth in different stages of plant development.

if he is going that far into it it seems like he knows what hes talkin about^^^

thanks for the info Panhead

i get a 95 percent turnout with this methiod. cut clone, dip in liquid root and then dip in powder and stick it the rockwool. works great

but id rather not do it and not get the small benifit than do it and maybe probably fuck up your plant, but who know, it might not do anything for the worste, i just know what rooting hormones do to pant structure and how it helps, and that isnt a way.

idk if thats what he is talkin about, good meathod tho, have you ever thought of using gel?

never tried it or heard of it. i have only tried the liquid and had bad results. thats when i tried this and it works great.

I agree with PanHead. I used Take Root on two of my seedlings when I accidently broke their tap roots while transplanting them in an AeroGarden. I thought for sure they would die, but I just dipped the end of the root into the powder and stuck them into the AG sponges and they grew normally like the others.

well i dont have plant products like that i've looked at walmart kmart and thats the only kind of stuf we have around here any good places on line i'm also interested in obtaining growing as a job for medicinal marijuana any help with that 2

Are you sure that your Walmart doesn't have the Shultz product? That's where I got mine. It was like $4.85 or something.

Try your local nurseries.

yea we have the shultz humitidy dome and food pelets some miracle grow products and shit i live in ohio does any one know some good places around ohio or online

no if you use a root stimulate like B-1 Thrive , SuperThrive or kickstart that will help give your plant a better root system growth

I swear nobody takes the time to read links in threads.

Not really. But the right fertilizer can make a big difference

FOR MORE THAN 50 years, vitamin B1 (thiamine hydrochloride) has been touted as a cure-all for transplant shock. Labels typically claim that B1 aids rooting and growth of a wide range of plants.

But University of California research on vegetables failed to prove that B1 reduces transplant shock or stimulates root development. Researchers found "no discernible differences in color or vigor among treatments" when B1 and B1 plus iron, manganese, and zinc were used on peppers, pole beans, squash, sweet corn, "
