Per directions i drenched 4oz 10ppm iaa for my 2gal sprayed tw mom too sat. Sun night took two lowest branches sprayed it 10ppn iaa dipped in shotglass 10ppm iaa then dip the bottom in take root iba powder then riot rooter in wally pitcher. 23w cfl 6500k 24".
The cuttings aint the best but nothing smells bad today and they still perky.
My Bruce banner will have better cuts.
They were too young n small and died standing from necrosis.
Gonna take a cut of my bruce banner that is much greener and let the tw veg and get all the hormones out from before.
So the walmart pitcher is too small or the 10ppm iaa is making the plant die n rot as it softened up.
I have made another cut of the trainwreck and two small cuts of an outdoor.
This time I put them in the riot rooter and plastic tray i cut so it squeezes the stem better and used a larger 1.5gal food grade bucket with lid and they are alive since I cut them on 8/9 except the one cut i dipped in pure IAA looked healthy but got soft n flopped over even though RH was high.
Im going to do more research and see who succesfully used IAA for cuts.
The few oz 10pmm drench didnt hurt the moms though so Ill cont that for week 3 n maybe before flip to create roots.
I have to time it so it doesn't conflict with Tria which i read becomes ineffective when used with IAA?
Well seemed to have worked. Moved light closer ,Cracked lid yesterday and they're still alive n perked today.
Gavem a light nute spray, removed lid to be sure.
I have to do more experiments but i "drowned" these cuttings into light nute like 200ppm and kelp extract recommended .1g/L in a bubbled bucket of course.
Ive always had faster luck with riot rooters too need to make sure to squeezem in well.
Should i take a few outdoor palnt cuttings (i cane spare a lot) and put 4 in the same exact way n environment but different soak/powder methods? I just wanna figure out what works for cuts im too damn inpatient but this is better than my usual 10-14 days
