Plant Hormones
I have done a fair amount of work in the past months with plants and plant hormones. I've had experience with Gibberellic Acid, Indole 3 Butyric Acid,
Salicylic Acid (Aspirin).
I was wondering are there any other easy-to-get or can-be-extracted hormones that will work with plants. Even just chemicals that have interesting
effects with plants.
(I would particularly be interested in the extraction of Auxins from plants.)
Any input would be great

Coconut milk has lots of something that cause a lot of leaf growth called cytoxinins or something like that
perhaps you could make a tea of ground seeds and stuff, and extract them
also human urine contains indole-acetic acid and that helps a lot with the growth of plants
but i don't know if you would be interested in that or not

Ethylene is probably one of the best-studied and most applied plant hormones.... it is important for fruit ripening! I'm sure you can find the
biochemistry readily on various sites.
Have a look at this, for a list of hormones:
