Is the powder supposed to be shiny if u look at it up close?? I will try to mix it with naoh n see if it dissolves.

Try to enter a conversation with me....so we don't clutter the thread.
I started one already,but you may start one with me.

Hi there - this is a good review on the balance between auxins and cytokinins - and other things Plant Physiology
http://m.plantphysiol.org/content/127/4/1405
I don't mean to hijack a thread, but do you think that a little boost of auxins/cytokinins might improve the cloning efficiency after flowering. So, I'm a newb. I put my plants on 12/12 to flower without cloning first...then I see a plant that has some ideal physical characteristics - it flowered first, it is reasonably squat (perfect for my space), it withstood some of the stress I threw at it better than the other seeds from that same strain. Now I find out that cloning after the initiation of 12/12 becomes very tough...
Any thoughts...

Cloning after switching to 12/12 can be done. If you get to them before there 3rd week of 12/12 your chances are pretty good actually. In my experiences, which have been very few, I've been successful cloning up until the 3rd week-I've never even tried after that.
It is a stressful situation for the clone- getting choped off while flowering and forced back into a vegatative state at the same time. It usually takes roots much longer to form in this situation-sometimes up to 3-4weeks, so be patient and make sure your cloning medium doesn't dry out.

I administered a foliar application of kinetin to one of my plants in DWC. A few days went by, and nothing happened. Figured oh well...
About a week and a half later though, all the nodes exploded with shoots. They grew so fast, the leaves weren’t able to keep up and were super thin and tiny. I ended up trimming them all off.
fastfoward to flowering, and this particular plant finished with absolutely TINY TINY nugs - AFTER ONLY 3 WEEKS
It was a weird experiment, I don’t remember my exact dose. I think it was about 1.5mg/L...

I've cloned all the way through flower. You just have to be patient with the plant as it can take 2-4 weeks longer the further you are in flower. The resulting clone will re-veg so thats going to take even more time. Good luck
