I agree.. at the moment as per my dose schedual... carbs and sugars are my primary.. the induction of.... MAINLY FOLIA APPLICATION. Have used Cytokinins with in the watering program....Hormone uptake?? Through the root system?? The roots don't transport all this complex stuff that ppl seem to think they do.. They primary uptake ions via a proton gradient.. Aside from that and water, not that much at all makes it up the xylem.. Anything complex that you add to your root system is to improve the soil ecosystem.. Microbes can use them as an energy source to produce more salts/ions..
And H2O2 can backfire pretty bad on the microbes.. CaO2 will buffer against those problems..
Unless your hormone is to act directly on root tissue, then applying it at root level is a waste or a scam (unless it isn't actually hormone).. By definition, a hormone is something that the plant can produce internally.. Typically the direction of travel is downwards.. Thats why they're typically applied to new foliage/stems..
My understanding......
Auxin would be released when a root or shoot meristematic (young) cell finds that it contains more than enough shoot derived nutrients mainly sugar, and all other environmental conditions are favorable for growth.
and travel in southern direction only.
Cytokinin would be made when meristematic cells are bathed in more than enough nutrients of the sort normally provided by the root, mainly water and minerals and all other conditions are favorable for growth.
Northly direction only.
Gibberellin/Brassinostreroid would be made when mature cells have less than enough shoot nutrients, i.e. sugar and Oxygen to survive especially if environmental conditions are poor.
found in all areas especially new growth.
