I was reading the label on the different rooting hormones I have and I noticed the 2 contain completely different ingredients.
The Clonex gel that I just bought at the store has Indole-3-butyric acid as the only ingredient. I did a Google of it and it seems to be the most popular ingredient in most rooting compounds.
However, the Dragon Rootone brand (powder) that I have used for years contains 1-Naphthaleneacetamide and Thira.
The former is the hormone. The later is a fungicide. Certainly not a bad thing when cloning. Especially in a bubble cloner.
The hormone seems to be more for commercial use and does not seem to be found in any retail/consumer rooting compound except Rootone.
I have always had great success with Rootone. Same jar is 20 years old and still half full. LMAO
Just FYI. Wondering if everyone is using Indole-3-butyric acid.
