out of my two seedlings. I applied some gel in the water of one leaving the other. The one i watered with the gel looked like a write off at the time, it was shriveled up, really short, leaves wouldnt develop. Where as the other was perfect. Now the runt has over grown the other in height as well as leaf development. This one also emerged from the rockwool a day or two later than the other one. Coincidence or does this gel really boost growth??

hey fdd I got a thing for you to try with new clone cuttings. try misting the leafs when ever you mist the dome to see what happens to them and if they will root faster

The growth rate of the plant that was fed root tone in its water has not slowed down one bit,the other plants from this strain which were put in 12/12 at the same time are ripening up fast with lots of red hairs, but this one just keeps fatening up,i checked my notes & these were put in 12/12 on 1-27-08, so their a little over 60 days in.
This is the pic posted earlier in the thread where i started to notice the explosive growth rate.
This pic was taken early this morning & shows the continued accelerated growth,the bud growth looks lumpy & abnormal when compared with the rest of the plants from the same strain that were not fed root tone.
The bud has gained allmost 3 inches in girth using a cloth tape & measuring around the outside of the circumference of the bud.

looks like you owe me three inches of girth. wait a minute..........
lolwow, very nice looking cola regardless of what you did to it.

Thank you.looks like you owe me three inches of girth. wait a minute..........

I know 3 inches sounds like alot but i measured in a circle & compared against a straight line measurement, its about 3/4 inch with the straight line measurement,the knobby bits are what gave it the added girth,i hope the bud fills in around them.
The rest of the plants do not have those knobby little chunks all over the cola's either.

That's a beauty you've got there, Panhead. The buds are so packed they're practically dripping off the stalk! Which makes me feel awful to have to ask you this:
What's the brand on your Rootone? I have "Rootone" powder from GardenTech, it's active ingredients are listed as NAA and Thiram!
When I looked into it, the material data sheet does show that it contains IBA as well. The problem is, the material data sheet also makes clear that this stuff has hazardous health effects.

Thiram is a pesticide. The toxicology data sheet for it is a freak show.
Look at the subsections after "Chronic Toxicity."
Thiram
I wouldn't give this shit to your plants on an ongoing basis.
DO NOT FOLIAR FEED WITH IT, ESPECIALLY IN FLOWERING. You don't want to inhale it. I suggest you flush the shit out of your plant before harvest.
We need to find an IBA product that doesn't contain a pesticide. FDD, what are you using?

This is the comparison in my experiment with photos:
Here is the seedling before i used the root gel solution:
This is her sis, both planted at the same time, this on emerged a day or two before the above one, and it was never that dark colour or had that problem with the leaves (apart from that slit lol)
Now these are them compared 4 /5 days later, the one on the right is the one i used the solution with.
Here it is up close:
This is my first time growing so this may have happened anyway, but its a bit suprising that it has out grown the other one, when they were both on exactly the same water and lighting throughout. Whats your thoughts?

My thoughts ? confusion,i really dont know what to make of any of this yet,i think the real proof is going to come after we all harvest the seedlings & clones we treated,that way we've got a better idea.
By the way everybodies plants are showing differences i'd think its safe to say that something is going on,what that is i dont know

That seems safe. I don't see a pesticide in there, all the toxicity has to do with the gel the hormones are suspended in. The LD50s are waaay high.
It does say that the gel compounds are mildly corrosive when inhaled and can be a skin irritant, so I'd still flush well and if you've been applying it directly make sure there isn't any of the stuff on the buds/leaves at harvest time (or for that matter on plant matter you're going to have to handle during harvest/trimming.)
This may be an excess of caution, but that seems wiser than throwing it to the wind.

No,it was mixed into a think paste then remixed with water & fed to the plant durring its normal watering,its a soil grow.
No foliar feeding has been done & the plant was fed the mixture one time.
The brand is Schultz Take Root & its a powder.
