How can I make a plant grow as fast as possible?

Assuming I have an aeroponic setup with minimal droplet size and a proper growlight, what else can I do to speed up the metabolism and growth of my green friend?

Can I inject some kind of drugs or steroids? Aeroponic myccorizae or something like that? ANY tips are welcome, thanks!

What do you grow and why do you hurry so much? Just provide good conditions, and it will grow.

I grow houseplants and sell them to hipsters for profit. And Im looking to maximize this profit.

Ooh let us speculate a little. If we were to silence genes coding for plant defense (production of jasmonates and salycilic acid), then no energy would go into making these non-growth promoting molecules. The only thing the plant could invest it's energy into would be growth or storage. Ofc, your plant has no resistance to infection or predation now so it's a glass cannon. This also implies you have the tech to silence genes, idk if you can fo this yet. It would be super fun to explore, but to my knowledge (not a lot xddddd) if you want to fuck with metabolism picking a nice hydroponic mix wont be enough.

You can test by putting magnets in determinate position near a plant to alter its growth cycle (beware that it may also make the plant grow slower or die faster if magnets are put in a wrong position)
There are some experiments out there that speak about it, like:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1y8X4XoP4c Dr. Ching Jen Chen explaining magnetic effects on plants

http://argos.vu/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/MagnEffectsLivingSystem.pdf In that book you can read about such experiments being applied to diverse range of living systems, from plant's seeds to humans, beware that it's not a very solid work of investigation and some conclusions may be misleading.

May you be success in trying to make your plants grow faster.

Interesting thinking, thanks bro. Even though I at some point want to fuck around with the genes for now I gotta keep it GMO free. Though Ima indeed look into inhibitors that could stop those processes(temporarily?)

>>12148590
Also interesting stuff, will definitely look into this. Much appreciated.

Balanced nutrition and adequate growing conditions. Do some reading but generally gibberellic acid and indole-3 acetic acid improve aboveground production. Just apply as a dilute foliar spray

I would say measuring the growing conditions of your best plant, then replicating would the best way to optimize your growth.

Lower the air-pressure so the plants are not burdened by the weight of the atomic.

Correct. You can dissolve these plant hormones in 70-95% ethanol and then bring up to the desired volume/concentration with deionized water. A 10-50 mM solution is enough to see an effect if you spray every other day for a week or two.

Take care not to over apply, as there is risk of toxicity.

This is a business optimization problem, not a just science one.
See >>12151746

Also look into vertical farming and make sure to supplement synthetic fertilizers with organic fertilizers like compost tea. Know your NPK ratio/value for different phases of the plant growth.

Synthetic nitrogen. Don't worry about P or K too much. You don't really need high N amounts either. I've had good success with something like a 10-0-0 or a 10-1-4. Dilute the nitrogen and apply the treated water often. There's a lot of variability depending on the plants and the setting and so on. Your main problem is going to be pests, fungus, and your electricity bill if grown with lamps. Inputs like fertilizers are cheap and easy. Your main goal is to work with what you have, spend as least as possible, and have a competitive price point. Succulents and house plants are crushing right now, and edibles in the spring have never done better.

Does it have to be IAA, or would other auxins like IBA work as well?

It's that I can buy IBA in the shop here, idk about IAA
