IBA-K Indole Butyric Acid Water Soluble with instructions By Power Grown

The attached paper suggests adding .5g to 100ml but also suggests using 1000ppm solution. To get the correct concentration simply use 500ml & .5g instead . Clever packaging. Does not look like photo.

Very effective root stimulate

Just wanted to reconfirm what others are saying, if you expect this to desolve in water it won't... Buyer beware.

I would be cautious buying this product. It is a hand filled bottle that looks nothing like the photos on Amazon. Secondly, I found it’s claim to be IBA - K absolutely false because this product does not dissolve in water as IBA - K should. IBA - K is a potassium salt of IBA making it much easier to use. IBA needs to be dissolved in Ethanol which you need to buy at a chemistry lab supply or much cheaper at a liquor store for something like Everclear. I’m not sure if the vendor doesn’t know the difference between the 2 or doesn’t care, but the product I had shipped to me is clearly not IBA - K. I have diluted the product in Ethanol but that process is somewhat more complex and the ethanol can be toxic to the cuttings. The IBA seems to precipitate out of solution when the alcohol is diluted with distilled water so I’m not sure what strength I am getting. If bought the product to try and root woody cuttings.

I ordered this to inject into my Sweetgum trees in the spring to prevent gumball formation. There is only about a week window to get the timing right and kill the blooms. I ordered a couple weeks before I anticipated needing it. It took a long time to ship. I injected it the day it arrived. I think I was a couple days late but still gotI good treatment. I didn't have a formula, so I took a SWAG at it and mixed 10 scoops (tiny scoop included) to a bottle of water and injected using Chemjet tree injectors spaced 6 - 8 inches apart around the circumference of the trees. Over the next week, there was a lot of "blooms" that shed from the trees. I re-treated a week later and again 10 days after that. I can see some new gum balls forming here and there in the trees, probably because I was a little late with the injection. Overall though, it appears I got about 90% of them. I will know for sure this fall after all the leaves are gone. Fingers crossed.

I used the IBA as a rooting aid. So far it appears to be working. The grapevines that were dipped in IBA are leafed out and the shoots not dipped have not performed. Time will tell if roots are at the bottom of the cuttings, or, if this is just using stored energy in the cutting spurs.

Not sure if I should be impressed or disgusted - this was shipped inside a USED toiled paper roll...

The product was recommended to me by some experts in the field of propagation and when asked where to get it they said Amazon. I couldn't tell you if it was working or not. Plants are picky and one may grow and the other not.

At 1gram per liter rate and a 1-2 minute basal soak this outperforms any hormone ive ever used. Most consistent rooting 100% in ten days and roots are much more long and developed. This stuff is potent and you don’t need a lot. It also smells very strong so be careful wear a mask or be in a ventilated space.
