can i water my young plants with water that has a bit of rooting hormone in it? what exactly is in rooting hormone? is it high in nitrogen? can it be used for other things besides dipping clones in? thanx!!!!!!!

i done it once after repotting it seemed to help them recover a bit quicker, i used like 5ml of it in 1 liter of water

You would think that would only help the clones with their rooting...

After I clones ill take a pinch an put it on the top soil so it can slowly soak in.
Never put it in water thouhgh.

Just curious, why wouldn't you add it to water?

if they are already rooted just let it grow natural.. it will just make the roots explode and get rootbound if ur in a pot, and for no good reason in my view. iv done it one a clone that was takeing foreever to get ahold of life and it deff helped it get structure as a real plant.
