Re: The Vitamin B-1 Myth
I agree with the opinion of cheap advertising visuals of vegetables on products "not for use on food for consumption". Sad.
IBA is so commonly used on products that are consumed, and not many realize this.
A great natural replacement for the rooting hormones available in store is-
Go find a willow tree in your area, one hopefully grown without chemicals.
Chop off many branches and crush them up very fine, mix into a bucket of pure water. (ratio is your choice, i tend to prefer rather strong and thick soup)
Let mixture sit for 24-36 hours. Strain and bottle in a clean jug.
Use mixture as a soak (12hours) before putting plant into a rooting medium of your choice.
Willow trees have a hormone in them that promotes rooting. I have never tried this method back to back with plain water, so i can not quote on effectiveness. Hopefully this helps save some money and carcinogens.
