I like where this is going. I'm the same kind of guy as the one that taught you. I micropropagate for a living, amongst other stuff.
Since I know you're genuinely interested, I think I can speak freely here.
I'm using BAP to induce branching, like a lot of in vitro protocols for pines do.
My stocks were way past their expiration date, but I'm reporting double trunks at the first node and some funky backbudding in between juvinile needles. When they were sprayed and dripped before the second set of needles.
I'm testing another less known hormone and it's doing just that, but in a more reliable fashion.
I got some real fat trunk growth using pure IBA-K salts (and half of them died). So what you're reporting might be a case of overly active cell division.
TDZ is a hormone I haven't used in 5 years at least. But I remember it's preservative nature to be an issue for me with some plants.
Anyhow, thanks for the write up! I'll be following this one!
