Been reading a bit about Brassinolide....anyone used/know of this? It's a naturally occurring plant hormone. This stuff is supposed to make plants turn on the supercharger. Apparently it is found in the pollen of rape seed and good for cell division and elongation of stems/branches amongst other things. Sounds very interesting!
It's available on eBay

Hmm!
I'm not a big friend of concentrated plant hormones. Not undangerous and some hormones like this evaporate already at room temperature. You do not want such vapors in your apartment, trust me. This is for pro's, IMO.
Then you have to make sure that it is usable with Tria. like gib. acid for example, because you want to use it too.
A wrong dose can quickly lead to mutations and every strain reacts slightly differently to hormones. In the worst case, the treatment ends fatally for the plant.
If you start with hormones use only one, eg. tria.
For the first time you could make a 1gal. brew of alfalfa grass, which is a natural source and difficult to overdose. I like to add horsetail for additional silicon and epsom salt for additional mag., because they need a lot of this minerals when their cell formation is accelerated.
But avoid alfalfa pellets or brikets for horses that are mostly mixed with molasses or other sugars and the brew starts to form alc.. Alfalfa hay for rabbits is good!
If you can not find a place with horsetail, get it from the pharmacy. It is sold as a tea.
Brew it for 5-7 days at room temperature, put 1 cup per gallon water every 2 weeks and put the rest in the refrigerator.
You can also soak seeds in it for ~12-24h before sowing.
