Hi guys ive been reading everywhere about this wondering if any one has successfully done these methods. 2 methods that ive been reading about to clone. 1 is using willow water as willows produce auxin the rooting hormone. 2 using aspirin as aspirin is made from willow bark. Or a synthetic version of. Has any one done this.

willow water works well. haha thats alot of W's. you can actually clone with nothing but water, peat pellets,a small light, and a humidity dome but I dont reccomend that. but I have used willow water and it worked 100%

I've used aspirin water, much the same, in fact the same properties, just not "organic". I used it as part of my root aphid fight and with all of the other shit I was doing I can honestly tell you I don't know if it works or not for root aphids. This is where I got my information about using it as a treatment.

It's worth doing, but water it way down - that lady says 2 uncoated, I used 1 baby aspirin. There's tons of information about people killing plants with aspirin.
