Plants synthesize many of the vitamins that animals require like vitamin C. However there is some evidence that plants benefit from vitamins. When growing plants in tissue culture, it is often helpful or even necessary to add some of the B vitamins. Specifically B1, B6, niacin and B12 are used. Germination of many seeds is accelerated by small doses of vitamins of the B group (niacin, thiamin, folic acid) and vitamin C.
Tissue culture mix includes Vitamins; A, C, D, B7, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B8, B9, B12.
There are commercial products that contain vitamins for use in seed germination, for transplanting, for hydroponics, & for tissue culture. Those containing auxin (a phytohormone) can aid in surviving water stress. Many packaged products offer vitamin B1 or thiamine as a protectant for transplant shock but it is the auxin (IAA) that is required. Plants make their own thiamine.
Vitamin C is essential for plant growth. Vitamin content in plants will vary by their growth conditions and the variety of plant. Cold climate apples & roses are 4 to 10 times richer in Vitamin C than the varieties adapted to Southern countries. Plants lacking the 2 genes to make Vitamin C can not grow beyond seedling stage. Vitamin C protects the plant against UV damage during photosynthesis.

Vitamins For Plants

Interesting experiment, You can crush up the vitamins and dissolve in various amounts of water and feed it to them that way. Maybe try 250mL, 500mL, and 1L increments. Don't forget to use a control plant that doesnt get any human vitamins, and perhaps try with a water soluble plant fertilizer in the same increments as well.

It has been shown that vitamins have been proven to help plants grow. Now you sound urgent so what is your problem? You didn't tell what types of vitamins you are working with and what you did. More info will help.
