I never see IAA being sold as a rooting hormone, its usually NAA and IBA that serve that role.
IBA tends to be associated with cell growth and division during new root development
However I had read that IAA is more closely associated with cell elongation and cell division with all subsequent results for plant growth and development.

Does IBA work with cannabis at least as well if not better than IAA in all regards?

Thanks to dizzlekush

indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) has been found to counteract any growth-promoting effect of 1-triacontanol.

Hormones are finicky in solution, IAA being the most finicky.
IAA is a naturally-occurring auxin but is not widely used because it is readily metabolized into inactive forms by the plant tissue.

IAA degrades in the light and is susceptible to destruction in the plant by IAA-oxidase.
IAA-oxidase removes the carboxyl group(COOH) making it ineffective as an auxin.

• IAA (indoleacetic acid) or Auxin: (Gk. auxein, to increase) Promotes growth; controls cell elongation
(increases number of H+-pump in tonoplast - extension of vacuole), inhibit growth of lateral buds (apical
dominance), orient root/shoot growth, promotes cell division, root growth, at low concentration prevents
abscission of leaves and fruits, among other effects. Excess auxin-dosage causes death due to growth
beyond sustainability. Tryptophan is the precursor of IAA; IAA occurs in the tips of shoots, leaf
premordia, young leafs and is transported down to the root tips of the vascular cylinder.

I just found out that it is used in power clone!!
https://www.botanicare.com/Power-Clon...rmula-P86.aspx

0.0005% Indole-3-Acetic Acid
So that is 5 PPM correct???(concentrate)
It is to be mixed at it's strongest 60 ml per gallon.
What would the working solution PPM be???

I came up with this approximation.
Indole-3-Acetic Acid ....... 0.3 PPM RTU working solution.

Could someone take me to school on this??

Hi Shag,
Why do you want the IAA? I get that it is natural... but the two others do basically the same simply that they are cheaper, way more stable etc. blabla....

[mrrangz]

IAA is far superior too IBA and NAA. I use IAA along tria with no ill effects.

IAA is just not stable and degrades fast, and IAA functions as both IBA and NAA.

IAA combined with 6-BA will give killer roots.

Power clone seems to work better than some other products I have tried.

I was hoping to improve on the IBA products that are out there.

If you could please:
Share your knowledge of this hormone, as everyone else says they like IBA.

What PPM IAA to 6-BA are you using?
In hydro?
Or cloner?
