Promoting Bud Break in Cuttings

9 years ago
I used some dip n grow at 5x diluition to root a number of fig tree cuttings. They got massive root growth but the IBA/auxin in the rooting hormone is inhibiting bud break and im afraid some will not bud out at all. I was considering using a foliar spray of silver thiosulfate or gibberellic acid to induce bud break.
The idea is to promote bud break/leaf growth so the cutting can photosynthesize and not die.
Does anyone have any experience using either?
Will these inhibit future root development if used in the recommended concentrations?
