What milligram?

If it were me, I would use some tried and true method until you make your own stuff....you loose the line, you have to start all over. Nothing wrong with DIY, I am a biggie on that, but sometimes prudence is better than penny pinching. Your time has value also.

Very good points, definitely. I think I will save the aspirin-as-a-bloom-supplement as a risky experiment that will be conducted on a plant that is not critical in the line. My present plan to go with a 2 plant SCRog grow in my custom designed grow box is going to allow me to have many clones to experiment with using many different methods, so I will get an answer regarding the use of aspirin as a rooting compound in the next few months if all goes according to plan. It's really not so much about penny pinching as learning that the solution is right there readily available to us in basic forms so as to not have to rely on the commercial suppliers for this stuff. I firmly believe that part of the solution to getting legalization is to remove the big money component to this "hobby." It's sort of like learning that a major component in a lot of the supplements out there is black-strap molasses... how much has that little gem of knowledge saved us overall in dollars spent toward this thing?
