I know B vitamins are very beneficial for cell growth and division.

but i would like an expert to shed some insight into which vitamins would be worth adding to a nute mix? or would you add vitamins at the regular watering??

and what benefits would these vitamins have??

Vitamin - A
Beta-Carotene - Carotenoids serve two prominent roles in the plants & algae.

Absorb light and utilize it for photosynthesis
Prevention of photo damage of the chlorophyll.

Vitamin - E - Houseplants synthesize vitamin E. A 2006 research study at the University of Toronto suggests that vitamin E is essential to the ability of plants to deal with cold but not freezing conditions. In this study, the absence of vitamin E in some plants interfered with the movement of food from leaves to elsewhere in the plants. As a result, the plants produced fewer seeds, thus interfering with their ability to reproduce in lower temperatures.
Vitamin - C - Vitamin C is needed for plant growth. An enzyme in plants produces vitamin C. A recent study by scientists at both University of Exeter and Shimane University has proven that plants cannot grow at all without vitamin C. Plants use vitamin C to combat stress from uncontrollable weather conditions such as drought and UV radiation.
Folic Acid - Folic Acid helps plants maintain healthy metabolism and DNA, but Folic Acid breaks down easily in plants especially under intense lighting, so it’s a good idea to supplemental feed Folic Acid to your plants. Tests show that Folic upgrades the weight and quality of your harvest.
Vitamin B1 - Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) helps your plants use and create carbohydrates so your plants have enough energy to build strong vegetative growth and to power production of flowers and essential oils. It also facilitates your plants’ use of phosphate, which is an essential nutrient that fuels flower growth. B1 strengthens plant immune systems so they better stand up to disease and stress. B1 activates Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR), which is the same benefit that happens in humans when a vaccination produces a pre-emptively increased immune response to future disease attacks. What’s more, B1 assists in root development so your plants intake more nutrients faster, and are more resistant to shock, transplanting, cloning.
Vitamin B2 - Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): Enhances systemic resistance so your plants are less susceptible to common grow room diseases that often disguise themselves as nutrient disorders while insidiously harming your crops
Niacin - Vitamin B3 (Niacin): An essential substance that contributes to your plants’ metabolism and other basic life functions. Insufficient amounts of B3 lead to slow growth, poor yields and lowered disease resistance.
Vitamin B6(pyrodoxine hydrocloride) - The growth of Cosmos and mustard plants in sand culture is shown to be promoted by additions of root growth factors, leaf growth factors, or of estrone to the nutrient solution. The root growth factors, nicotinic acid and vitamin B6, in addition to vitamin B1, whose effect has previously been reported, influence particularly the growth of the root system.
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) - See Vitamin K
Vitamin D - Vitamin D The addition of vitamin D has been shown to improve plant growth, but is not needed for healthy plants. This was demonstrated by a student study at California State University. Vitamin D can be obtained through simple sunlight, which plants normally get on a regular basis. Adding vitamin D increases these levels. Why it improves growth is not know, but experiments have shown that it does.
Vitamin K - Brown seaweeds, which are the ones used in agriculture and horticulture, not only contain vitamins common to land plants, but also vitamins which may owe their origin to bacteria which attach themselves to sea plants, in particular vitamin B12. There is still some doubt about this -- B12 may be contained in the seaweed, although in some cases it is in associated bacteria. Vitamins known to be present in the brown seaweeds include vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which appears in as high a proportion as in lucerne. Vitamin A is not present, but its precursor, beta-carotene, is, as well as fucoxanthin, which may also be the precursor of Vitamin A. B group vitamins present are B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B12, as well as pantothenic acid, folic acid and folinic acid. Also found in brown seaweeds are vitamin E (tocopherol), vitamin K, and other growth-promoting substances.




There Answer my own Dam question :P:bigjoint:

FYI all these vitamins can be found in your household "Centrum Forte" multi-vitamin
Also contains these minerials.

Calcium - 200mg
Iron - 10mg
Iodine - 0.15mg
Mangnesium - 50mg
Copper - 1mg
Potassium - 80mg
Chromium - 35mcg
Molybdenum - 45mcg
Selenium - 55mcg
Zinc - 7.5mg


I will be running a test on 1 plant to see if this has any ill effects on a MJ (TBH im just curious.)
 
how did adding a multivitamin work out for you? i just did the same to encourage my 4 day old seedlings growth, and (hopefully) she just got (hopefully) her first leaves! so i took a one-a-day multivitamin for women(to encourage the seedling to be female) and i dissolved it into some distilled water, and added to the seedlings substrate... hopefully i'll see a big growth spurt by the end of the night...

your seeds are nearly completely sexed from genes, not external influences. excluding hermies. your plants don't need nutes till about 2 1/2 3 weeks if ur growing in soil.
