Growing with hormones

There are many growth hormones available on the market, I was wondering if some of them can help plant growth, Like auxins, giberellins whatever else( I dont know much about them) . Would this work? because some of these chemicals are there to help flower(bud) growth and suchlike things. I dont know
please answer im going to try this next grow season if it does work.

I have been attempting to manipulate phytohormones with auxins to see how much I can stimulate root growth. I have extracted Auxin (Auxin is the hormone that is found in alot of the rooting powders and cloning gels we use.) from Weeping Willow branches which I steeped into a tea.
I have begun a test with 6 clones last week using the extracted auxin and also the use of root zone heating (heating pad)

My hopes are I can stimulate faster root growth in both cloning and to use in systemic watering to encourage vigorous root growth, so that when I put the clones to veg i cant turn on the nutes immediately for faster vegatative growth.
Phytohormones: They are much like hormones in that they function as signals between tissues. Auxins are growth regulators which are produced & they stimulate root growth.there are several phytohormones, Ethylene is produced in wounded tissue, it stimulates tissues outside the wound to aid in healing.
These different phytohormones usually stimulate, or inhibit, growth in tissues other than those in which they are made. These interactions ensure that different tissues do not grow out of balance with each other, which is why I have to manipulate the natural amounts of Auxin in our plants in order to trigger phytohormones into growth at my disgression.
I dont know about all the available hormones on the market I only grow organic, I might be wasting my time, I find it interesting none the less and will keep you posted if I find anything significant
