a good place for aloe powder 200x is at buildasoil..all u do is take a small amount like 1/8 of a teaspoon for 1 gallon of water dump it in let it set 10 or 15 min then spray or drench the plantI have no doubt that aloe is beneficial. It contains salicylic acid, plus many enzymes and vitamins. Scientists have discovered over 150 nutritional ingredients in Aloe vera. There seems to be no single magic ingredient. They all work together in a synergistic way to create healing and health giving benefits. The ten main areas of chemical constituents of Aloe vera include: amino acids, anthraquinones, enzymes, minerals, vitamins, lignins, monosaccharide, polysaccharides, salicylic acid, saponins, and sterols.

However, I have never used it, so don't know anything about dosing, etc. I find the aspirin convenient, and never grow without it, as it has many additional benefits, some of which are still being discovered, including as a growth hormone, it stimulates the SAR response.
Here is the newest information on aspirin for plants:
Salicylic acid is a known plant growth hormone:
"Salicylic acid (SA) is a phenolic phytohormone and is found in plants with roles in plant growth and development, photosynthesis, transpiration, ion uptake and transport. SA also induces specific changes in leaf anatomy and chloroplast structure. SA is involved in endogenous signaling, mediating in plant defense against pathogens.[4] It plays a role in the resistance to pathogens by inducing the production of pathogenesis-related proteins.[5] It is involved in the systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in which a pathogenic attack on one part of the plant induces resistance in other parts. The signal can also move to nearby plants by salicylic acid being converted to the volatile ester, methyl salicylate."
