Fun fact about salacylic acid, it’s actually the basis behind aspirin (acetosalacylic acid), and the natives used to boil willow bark in order to create a tonic that helps treat headaches

I love the knowledge our elders have & we are slowly loosing it.. I remember seeing a comment about the environment,there was a young lady who made a comment along the lines of our environment is like this because the older people didn't take care of it by recycling & she said something else,anyway the old woman said we put out our milk bottles when we were finished we would re use paper bags,our pop bottles were collected & re used,the older woman did mention a few other things,the old woman was right though back then they were not as wasteful as we are today..We truly live in a throw away society what we waste is just madness.. People looked after what they had.. And with the growing I remember going to farms & been able to pick our own,the flavour was lovely.. I have noticed that with growing my own,the flavour,you can't beat it..the veg & salad you get from supermarket has no flavour & it lasts for nearly two weeks..Not just that I think growing your own,along with flowers really helps your mental health.. Sorry for the long comment,I appreciate it if you took the time to read it,hope it made sense..Have a wonderful day & take care 🍄☮️🍄☮️🍄☮️

yes thats another good one and it keeps the O2 away from the cut!

[@shawnmurphy282]

It goes along with the idea that plants talk to us. I was thinking how an alore plant gushes that gel when its cut. That gel is meant to sanitize the wound, provide a barrier to stop pathogens, and heal the tissue. What is a clone if not a cut in need of healing? This willow tree thing is interesting. What is willow if not natures aspirin. Combined with a sea kelp growth hormone and it makes perfect sense. Stop the stress, heal the wound, grow the root. good times.@@gardenlikeaviking

I love your channel so much. We think so much alike. Lol I had some sickly fruit trees that I inherited with a new property that I had bought. As an experiment, I cut a bunch of willow and mulched around the trees with it. Hoping that it may slowly break down and heal the roots or strengthen them and give the tree back its vitality.I have very good success with that. I also recently built a living maze from Willow cuttings! It’s only been in the ground for about five weeks. But it’s coming along really beautifully. I got that idea based on the living fences that they make in Europe.

[@pampotgieter7611]

And here is another WINNER NATE! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍l👍 Last year I did an experiment with Comfry leaves. I didnt want to dig out the Comfry plant and replant. An idea came to me, why not pull the leaf from the mother plant put it into rain water and see if it grows roots. Which it did. At the beginning of this year I watched a video showing the benefits of using Willow sticks to root slips. There is a huge Weeping Willow growing in the complex. I successfully grew over about 30 Comfrey leaves into new plants. But this recipe you you have given to us, is a "Game Changer". So much to be grateful to you NATE! I love your simple and diect way of explaining. And it goes without saying, this video has been sheared with all my family, friends, and neighbours. MUCH LOVE & APPRECIATION for all your love and attention to detail in all your videos. You are the "BEST" ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

GLV is the stuff! From what I understand comfrey sends down a Taproot so deep it will never leave your yard😮

[@truesight91]

Aloe vera with a sprinkle of cinnamon or raw honey is the gold when it comes to rooting. Kelp & fulvic acid helps too. Simply dip the root cuttings in some aloe leaf and that's nature baby.

You can also use alfalfa as its got a natural growth hormone :]

@alextercisio if you have alfalfa, soak it in water overnight, or longer to make it stronger. But stronger will have to be diluted somewhat

Aloe vera(auxin,salycilic acid and micro nutrients full chain of amino acids a few drops of organic apple cider vinegar with the mother enzyme will help organize the amino acids), coconut water(gibberellin,cytokinnins potassium phosphorus magnesium calcium)and kelp because kelp is great would be quite close especially if you dont have access to willow if you do you could try adding aloe and coconut water in the right amounts and halve the ammount of kelp and willow or double the scale depending on how well it performs being more diverse in whats in it id almost guarentee there would be an ideal mixture to get it going then add mycorrhizal fungi to the root zone and should have ripper clones few more ingredients like worm juice and moringa extract in a vortex compost tea brewer with some unsulphured black mollasses and you will have some serious natural fertilizer completely loaded with beneficial microbes and the nutrients being plant ready yeah sorry ranting all informative though

Great video. I've been making willow water for decades and it's great stuff. But for cannabis I've been using an aeroponic cloner I made from spare parts and I get nearly 100% successful cuttings with just a little bit of sea-90 for minerals and nothing else. If I use some willow water and aloe, it does speed up the rooting process by 3-4 days, but since I'm not a commercial operation I don't mind just waiting a bit longer for clones. Also, using a paint can shaker can really simplify this process. Just plug it into a short period repeat cycle intermittent timer (about $30) and set it to shake for 5 seconds every 30 minutes and you're all set.
