If you hold it up to the light it should be transparent, maybe not clear depending on the powder.
sounds like your IAA may be OK.

Is the powder supposed to be shiny if u look at it up close?? I will try to mix it with naoh n see if it dissolves.

I started one already,but you may start one with me.

Awesome thread!

I have always been of the mind set that auxins and cytokinins are plant hormones with two distinct actions and shouldn't be used untop of each other at the same time, rather used together at the right times.

I like to use a 'root stimulator' in early veg to encourage root growth, then spray a kelp product(floralicious+ has been my favortie for this) to encourage lateral growth/more bud sites. The floralicious+ foliar is something I just got into a few months ago, but all my plants absolutely LOVE it. After a good spraying with kelp extract my plants explode! So much so that I only use it once a week or every other week.

I've made it too strong before, which results in curling and sometimes burnt leaves, but I got it down now. 1tsp/floralicious plus per liter of RO water.

Hi there - this is a good review on the balance between auxins and cytokinins - and other things Plant Physiology

I don't mean to hijack a thread, but do you think that a little boost of auxins/cytokinins might improve the cloning efficiency after flowering. So, I'm a newb. I put my plants on 12/12 to flower without cloning first...then I see a plant that has some ideal physical characteristics - it flowered first, it is reasonably squat (perfect for my space), it withstood some of the stress I threw at it better than the other seeds from that same strain. Now I find out that cloning after the initiation of 12/12 becomes very tough...

Any thoughts...

Cloning after switching to 12/12 can be done. If you get to them before there 3rd week of 12/12 your chances are pretty good actually. In my experiences, which have been very few, I've been successful cloning up until the 3rd week-I've never even tried after that.

It is a stressful situation for the clone- getting choped off while flowering and forced back into a vegatative state at the same time. It usually takes roots much longer to form in this situation-sometimes up to 3-4weeks, so be patient and make sure your cloning medium doesn't dry out.

I administered a foliar application of kinetin to one of my plants in DWC. A few days went by, and nothing happened. Figured oh well...

About a week and a half later though, all the nodes exploded with shoots. They grew so fast, the leaves weren’t able to keep up and were super thin and tiny. I ended up trimming them all off.

fastfoward to flowering, and this particular plant finished with absolutely TINY TINY nugs - AFTER ONLY 3 WEEKS

It was a weird experiment, I don’t remember my exact dose. I think it was about 1.5mg/L...

I've cloned all the way through flower. You just have to be patient with the plant as it can take 2-4 weeks longer the further you are in flower. The resulting clone will re-veg so thats going to take even more time. Good luck
