Rooting hormone after germination?

[cman20118ut]

Okay so i was blazed out of my mind last night and i was staring at some rooting hormone and then it came to me, has anyone ever done this?
After you germinate your seeds (if you use the paper towel method) but before you place your seedling in your grow media, what if you applied rooting hormone? do you think this would help roots to grow quicker and possibly be like a steriod for your babies? because if they get bigger roots quicker would they not have more stability and grow faster? anyways tell me what you guys think...surely i'm not the only one who has ever thought of it?

You really want to let the plant do its own thing for the first 3 weeks, without fertilizer or hormone boosts. There is a fine balance between how fast it can grow and how much food it had stored in its cotyledons... accelerating growth beyond what the plant can keep up with from its own resources is actually how some herbicides work!
Boost your little seedlings with bright, blue-spectrum light and correct temps/humidity. These are about 76'F-82'F and 60% during the early stages.
