Title: Auxins for germination and growth
Post by: Caium on July 04, 2013, 10:08:52 PM

I found info about the use of auxins for the hard germination seeds and slow growing plants.
It may work specially for root stimulation, so good for growing hostilis or iboga...

The most known auxin solution is Superthrive, it's synthetic but great anyway.
I don't know a brand of natural auxins, anyone can give a word about it?

I do not know of a natural brand but I do work with some of the chemicals listed. They are common addition to tissue culture solutions. I have never used them outside a tissue culture medium but I would love to see some of the effects.

Good to know that, so I'm in the right path!
It seems dificul to find a brand with a natural mix, then I'll manage with the synthetic for now...
Hey what interesting lists you got nanashi, congrats.
Hope to trade with you anytime.

IAA is naturally found in plants I believe, the rest of the auxins are synthetic.  I am not certain but I think the consensus is that synthetic and natural auxins alike as long as they are used in concentrations relatively near those that occur within in the plant are safe for later human use or consumption.

Willow bark steeped in water can be used as a rooting hormone. Then alfalfa mixed in the soil adds hormones to help with root development.
