Hi. Has anyone ever used the growth hormones Epin or Cirkon? How'd it work out for you, and do you think I could use it for some small potted fruit trees to give them a pick-me-up? Or does anyone have any experience with any other growth hormones worth buying? Thanks.

I'm not at all certain about anyone else, but I'd like to know what Epin and Cirkon are? A search of the botanical/horticultural literature showed no citations for either substance. Do You have the chemical name of either of these?

Epin appears in adverts at the top of a Google search.

Unless the OP can give more I would say ignore the query.

I used Epin on my tropical fruit trees as well as other plants in my garden and was pleased with the result. However, I just learned there were other growth hormones products that will work just as well or better than Epin. I will try them and will post the result.

"Unless the OP can give more I would say ignore the query."

WOW! Now that's what I call friendly advise. Albert must have been in an especially cordial mood when he wrote that.

Epin is a fairly well-known trade name for synthetically prepared epibrassinolide, a natural plant growth hormone. It reportedly acts in multiple ways to increase plant vitality and growth.

Cirkon is a trade name for synthetically prepared Hydroxycinnamic acid. It reportedly acts as a plant immunomodulator, root developer, and bloom booster.

Some sources recommend using these two products together for even better results. Sorry, but I haven't tried either.
