I have some cuttings that I tried to root with just RO water, 3 weeks nothing.
Although the LSD did root, but not the other nine cuttings.
New batch of PC1 arrived Friday, soaked the NL X BB for an hour.
Check out the splitting seems...
Just watch the f'n root explosion that's about to happen... More pix 11/02
Almost every single rooting hormone on the market uses this stuff my friend. And auxins do not injure plants. Auxins are naturally contained in plants. In fact, they were the FIRST hormone discovered in plants. Now, what you read is a BS explanation concocted to get you to buy something. Like with LED lights. However, you are right that it is not necessary to cake the stuff on for rooting purposes. Many plants just need a little bit of encouragement, sometimes, as seen all over this thread, all that means is to take a cutting and place it in moist warm media and it will do the work on its own.
Well I likes this post!..............and this quote even better!
