Keiki Pro

[gands]

Great thread here! whether you decide to use some or not, I am enjoying the questions and opportunity to share with everyone.

Becca........you got me to giggle, but keep in mind general spraying or usage, will get you general results. Specific treatments will get you specific results.

newflasker.........You use it 1 time per growth cycle. This is not a fertilize that you use weekly, or over and over. It contains 2 classes of hormones: Cytokinin and Auxin. Some would argue that this is not possible (combining the two) but it is. These types of hormones exist naturally in all plants in a proper balance, that same balance can be achieved in a bottle as well. It simply has not been done until KeikiPro. As far as when to use it, that will depend on your specific plants. Use this general rule of thumb...........KeikiPro will enhance whatever you see occurring, by activating dormant tissues, of the same type that are currently active. When in spike treat for more spike. When in growth treat for more growth, etc.

Hello gands,
What is the effect of the cytokinin/auxin in KeikiPro on the flower bud or flower itself? Does it make the bud abort opening? Does it make the flower drop? Can it be use on a plant with buds/flowers?

Thank you!

The hormones used are not "floral" per se. They are growth hormones. They will not cause bud blast, or any floral deformity. Cytokinin can cause flowers to last longer however. Now the product is not intended to be used directly on buds or flowers, and it would be possible for the alcohol in the solution to cause a floral issue. But just treating a plant as directed will not cause a problem at all. If you treated a plant that was in bud, you would get branching of the spikes.
