you have to boil the asprin for a few minutes to break some bonds so the salicylic acid can be taken up by the plant for feeding, or foliar spray.... & don't use a coated asprin either
Yes, by boiling it is gonna breakdown the ester forming salicylic acid & acetic acid, but was hoping aspirin can breakdown slowly on wet soil, but this may increase the pH of the soil as well, but you can't add to much or it might negatively impact the growth. It's not for promoting growth it's for boost the plant defense against environmental stress, like fungal infection, hot weather, etc. I'm not sure if it good for seed germination.
I'd start with way less than a full tablet. I'm not a fan of diy rooting hormone but if I had to try one I'd use willow water which actually contains IBA in high enough concentrations. I use Wilson's Roots gel with great success. It's very affordable and consistent. My favorite feature is it contains fungicide which in my opinion is great to minimize potential for rot. It's about $9 at home depot and well worth the money. Just ma 2 cents.
If you are in the USA, aspirin is coated, unless you use Alka Seltzer. "Enteric-coated aspirin is designed to resist dissolving and being absorbed in the stomach. As such, enteric-coated aspirin passes into the small intestine, where it's absorbed into the bloodstream. The purported goal is to prevent stomach ulcers and bleeding that can sometimes occur with aspirin use."
After reading a the replies... one option is that it isn't a solution you keep them in, but a solution you let them sit in for, say an hour, then move to a normal glass of water.
i use 250-300mg aspirin per gallon of water. that's just 60-75mg per liter. i only use it for watering though, and only once a week at most. because aspirin can burn plant in large quantities. is it possible to redo your experiment using the prescribed amount? thank you!
I think he did it to the prescribed amount. It looks like his mason jar is about 20 ounces. And his brand of aspirin only had 80mg (so half is 40mg). So that's about 40mg of aspirin into 20 ounces of water. Multiply that by a ratio of 6 & you get 240 mg into 120 ounces (a gallon is 128 ounces). Or, I could be more precise: 40mg/20 ounces = 2.0 mg/ounce. 240/128 = 1.875mg/ounce & 300/128=2.24mg/ounce. So, he appears to be in the correct range which is between 1.875 to 2.24 mg aspirin per ounce of water. He is at roughly 2.0 mg/ounce. That ratio you gave of 240mg to 300mg per gallon I think is for dipping and then putting into a potting mix. Maybe a much lower dosage of aspirin might be called for if one is going to leave the clone soaking in it.
tomato plant cuttings don't need ANY root hormone of ANY KIND. stick them in wet soil give them water/sunlight they *literally* root themselves. the stem hairs absorb the water it needs until it grows new roots. it's one of the few garden plants that you can do that with.
Hi, I am new here. Dunno if you are still doing anymore experiments but I am wondering abt the use of the Atonik plant stimulant ? Would you be familiar with them ?
1. your 81 mg aspirin is for 1 liter of water. 2. your aspirin is enteric meaning its coated salt which is designed not to disolve in the stomach but will disolve in the small intestine.
I m using cinnamon nd acv .. let c what happen in 7 days. . Thnx very useful . Seen acv,cinnamon nd asprin one . My money plant is not growing faster I will update in 7 days
Great videos but it just dawned on me, you should use something like peppers, or basil. tomatoes will root in just about anything with no help needed lol
ooo another other idea lol since you did the synthetic version, use the natural option (aloe vera gel straight out the plant into water) to see how that does.
Tomatoes are pretty easy and straightforward to propagate, I agree! And I think that is extra damning that the aspirin slowed them down so much. I’ve got a lot of other tests on the way, I think you’ll enjoy them! Thanks for commenting I’d love to hear what you think of the others when they drop
I used this method with sweet potatoes i diluted a tablet of aspirin 300mg in 1liter of water i soaked 3 samples of sweet potatoes in that solution for around 3 hours then i moved them into a water cup to continue the process there and kept on changing the water every 2 or 3 days. And i soaked other 3 samples directly in water without passing by the solution of aspirin. Now it’s been 3 months and i had sweet potato slips from the solution samples with a great healthy rooting development and ready to be transplanted in soil while the other 3 simples are still struggling with their general development and rooting development . The aspirin really does help with rooting development. ( in my case with sweet potatoes i will try it with more other verities of plants) Ps: for the solution i added about 3g of cinnamon powder as it helps with the preventing cryptogamic attacks
I’ve been looking for this subject for a while. Just happened by accident to read it here. I don’t know why it’s not mentioned more often. I questioned this because I always thought “why would roots need light “. I mean the leaves do but why the roots? Would love to find the science behind why.
In humans, a toxic dose of asperine is 150mg per kg of body weight. Think for a moment how heavy the cutting is, and how many mg the tablet contains. If you crush up a 200 or 300 mg tablet and disolve that in a glass of water, then put a cutting that weighs less than 1 gram in the water.. Your basicly giving it a dose by wight equalling 30% of the plants weight. Thats the equivilant of a 90kg man consuming 30kg of asperine.

Yes you are correct in saying it is too much. I usually use 1/8th asprin tablet per litre of water.
How strong/how many mg in your tablets?

@@christidessoni use about 100mg per liter, i think 81mg per liter will suffice

A reasonable idea! I just stick to the diy options that worked at this point though, ive left aspirin behind 😆

"Hey, do you have any aspirin on you?
I'm trying to grow my plants."
...I can imagine someone looking at you sideways after asking this
😂😂 for sure

Very good information thx Jimmy!
🙏 thanks breeze! Glad you enjoyed it
How about if you can somehow fully dissolve the aspirin in hot water? Got shake and stir, bigger reservoir??
Both attempts to use it harmed the seedlings. I’d move on to something that always works and doesn’t require extra precision to maybe work.
i use dispersible aspirin you used the type that's enclosed in a candy case that's why you had to stir it.
Good experiment!!!!!
🙏🙏
Great videos but it just dawned on me, you should use something like peppers, or basil. tomatoes will root in just about anything with no help needed lol
Oh another idea, what if you did a test with a small air bubbler. They're cheap and then you can see if aeration helps or not?

Thanks for sharing! Thats a great test and result
you can throw sweet potato slips on the roof of your car and they will grow.
if you take the cover off the glass, more light will help them root faster
Very true, I’ve seen transparent jars have better rooting than opaque jars in a number of trials!

Merci de m'avoir évité de perdre du temps à essayer l'aspirine. De l'eau plate fera l'affaire.
only certain type of people do experiments with pgrs by not using the easily findable SA and using actual measurements.
What is an sa
you're looking for 500mM solution which would be about 2-5mg AS per liter... way way way too much even at half a tablet 40.5mg
i've seen it done with one aspirin in a gallon of water
thanks man
😁🙏🙏
Did you try young weeping willow branch mixture Xp ?
I’ve seen that mentioned a lot but haven’t tried it yet myself
@@JimmyBHarvests apparently the main compound of rooting hormone is made of this stuff.
Can’t wait you try it out
How many grams of aspirin did you give per liter of water?
I didnt weigh it out, but i show the aspirin and reservoir from each attempt
You only use 1 aspirin per gallon of water.
You gave them a fatal overdose of aspirine. You only needed a few mg MAX
How much is few? Mg/ltr? Please help me!! Thank U!!
@@TheLaku1980 2-4 mg total in a class or jar of water is more than enough.

no
You used coated aspirin. You need to do it with uncoated aspirin.
The aspirin I used does not appear to be coated in any way 🤔🤷🏻♂️
The box you showed said "enteric coated". That indicates a coating designed to soften the impact of aspirin on the stomach.
Hmmm thanks I’ll look into this
Isn't it non effective, once the tablet, has been crushed.
👍🤙💪🌱🌳✌️
Thanks as always Cajun! 🙏🙏
Make some new fun videos!
I’m trying! 😁
Salicylic acid is good for rooting but you put way too much so you prove nothing.
Please link me to a video that demonstrates this.
@@JimmyBHarvests you need an eight of aspirin tablet per quart of water
