Organic Cloning Nutrients/hormones

I am looking for an organic root hormone for cloning. I am planing to using an aero system for the clones. What is a good organic nutrient for the rooting process? Thanks for any help.

I would just use any rooting agent. Once they are up and growing then go organic.

wouldn't really be organic then would it?

You can use willow water.

Can I buy a bottle of some?

yeah i was gonna say that,
use a willow branch.

If you can find a willow tree, you can make your own.
google it for the amount of water to soak in and how long

Find a weeping willow tree pull off some young shoots and steep them in some water in the sun for a day. The water will contain rooting hormones.

So Im guessing there isn't anywhere to buy pre-made...hmmm that gives me an idea! Make batches of it, put it in a container with some logo and sell it at your local grow store. Now one of you fuckin hippies get off your ass and start making this shit!

AHA!

Thar y'are

Sounds like a good way to go... I always tell myself that it ain't no thang to clone them with a gel, but your diligence has inspired me. I may start usin' the ol' willow water myself

I have read that the old way is to leave the sprigs/shoots in the water til they sprout new growth, then use the water. I've also read to break up a few bits into some water (a gallon let's say? maybe a handful of pieces about an inch or two long I'm gonna guess for a starting point) and gently steep it, then cool.

I think aspirin is another way, but maybe not exactly organic (but frugal!).

I have a seaweed extract that, at a very strong dilution, is supposed to be a rooting agent and it is all-natural/organic. And I also use a hippie juice that's got mycorrhizae, which encourage growth of hair roots.

Salicylic acid is said to be a SAR. systemic acquired resistance activator.

Anybody ever spend 50 bucks a liter on a little chemical called SCORPION JUICE?

Just like the molasses vs "carbo synthesizer" hype, i am wondering if that is all there is to mr. hornsby's overpriced product....

What's more is that you can actually by salicylic acid as a toner for acne treatment, so it's easily found in a pure form. I used to use it when I was a wee pimple popper. I am curious to read about this more.

But now I will sleep... after I do the dishes for my girlfriend who is eyeing me in an ever increasingly annoyed fashion,,, as if to say get off the damn computer

Better to comply than to get the hairy eye!

No but at that stage it does not matter if its organic.

Or spend all this time messing with a willow and hope it works.

The bottom line is when its finished it will all be organic.

I'm using the hormone right now because I'm new and I need all the help I can get. Once I'm better at what I do, then I'll kick it up a notch. BAM!

Thanks for the reply i do remember the willow water now. Thanks a bunch. I did find some rooting hormones that are organic as well as a nutrient solution.
