Brand new guest and professional horticulturalist Mike
from www.growershouse.com joins us
for an episode all about taking PERFECT clones, every time. In this
part one of two, Mike introduces us the concept of encouraging the
development of adventitious roots through a combination of hormone
and nutrient applications. Mike explains the five major types of
plant hormones, and details exactly how applying hormones like
auxins to the exterior plant tissues trigger a hormone reaction
causing the plants to produce roots. This leads to a conversation
about cultural practices, and how important it is to not only have
the correct equipment for cloning- but also the importance of
cleanliness. Stay tuned for part TWO of this awesome episode.
