Making rooting hormone

How do I make my own Rooting hormone?
如何自製根部荷爾蒙(發根劑)##CONTINUE##

Cut some willow branches (All willow species produce this natural rooting hormone), into 2" or 4" long pieces (enough pieces to fill a bowl).
把一些柳枝(所有品種的柳會產生這種天然的發根荷爾蒙)剪成2英吋到4英吋的長度(量要足夠填滿一個鍋子)

Put the willow cuttings into a big kettle (or pot) on the stove, fill with water (all cuttings should be are covered by water). Turn on minimum heat setting, cover with a lid, and leave on low (but do not boil) for 2 hours. Then turn off heat and leave kettle covered for 12 hours.
把剪好的柳枝放進一個大水壺裡加水淹過所有柳枝
把水壺蓋上蓋子放到爐火上用最小的火慢慢加熱但不能煮到水滾
持續維持高溫但不能滾的狀態2個小時
然後把水壺放著12個小時

After the mixture has cooled for 12 hours, the water should be a dark brown. Strain out the water, and discard the branches. Pour the mixture into a container with a plastic top with holes pre-made, and just drop your cuttings in. Let the clones sit in the hormone for 12 to 24 hours (thus allowing the cuttings to fully absorb the rooting hormones), then plant into your medium.
放涼12小時後水應該呈現深咖啡色
把柳枝丟掉水倒進一個蓋子有小洞的容器裡
把要clone的大麻分枝插進小洞裡讓切口處可以泡到荷爾蒙溶液
泡個12~24小時(讓分枝能充分吸收發根劑)
然後就可以插進生長介質(土壤或岩綿等)

Use as much rooting hormone as you require, then discard the used portion. The unused hormone can be stored in the ice box for years.
想用多少發根劑就用多少
用過後就倒掉
沒用完的可以放在冰箱裡保存一年以上

去公園找柳枝時要小心
