well if you use 36 oz. boiled water to 15 spoons borax then overnight it will start and it can last up to a week (the growing)
borax form a precipitate [solid formed inside]
Borax Powder usually takes on the form of a white powder that can easily dissolve in water. It is used in detergents, cosmetics (possibly different kinds of make up), and glazes.
For insect bites where acidic venom is injected (such as bee stings) borax in the form of paste (mix borax with water until it is liquid enough to be spread but solid enough to stay on the sting) will neutralize the acidity of the venom
they form crystals but that's only if you have a pipe cleaner and hot water and borax

Well it depends. But im currently growing salt, suagr and borax crystals and my borax crystals formed first. So i guess my answer is No, borax crystals grow faster but dont take my answer as a fact i could be wrong.

Borax has a solubility of 5.8 grams per 100 milliliters of solution or 5.8 percent at room temperature. However at an elevated water temperature, more borax will dissolve than at room temperature. As the hot borax solution cools to room temperature, it becomes supersaturated. Supersaturated solutions are unstable and the excess borax will crystallize on any rough surface.

Gatorade will form crystals faster because it contains electrolytes, which are a form of salt. Salts are crystals, thus your answer. Pure water will not form crystals at all unless it reacts with another substance.
Table salt is made of many tiny crystals. When you mix these salt crystals with water, they dissolve, losing their crystalline form. When the water evaporates, the salt crystals form once again.
These crystals are residues from soluble impurities.
Borax is a material that grows into a crystal naturally. Just like snowflakes are crystals that form when warmer water in the clouds cools enough a borax solution will cool into crystals. The reason we use hot water to make borax crystals is because borax will disolve into water. Hot water can hold more borax than cold water can. So when the borax is stirred into the hot water until no more will fit, it is called supersaturated. As it cools, it cannot hold as much borax in each water molecule, so it realeases some of the borax into it's natural repeating mineral shape. It's just like a sugar crystal or a salt crystal. They will do the same thing as the borax when disolved in hot water, only they take a lot longer to crystalize. Try using 2 cups sugar and 1 cup boiling water. you can add a little food coloring and some flavoring oil. Be careful not to add too much. a drop or two of flavoring oil will be fine. Don't stand too close as fumes make come out of the mixture when adding the flavor. Put a bamboo skewer or a string, that has been stickified with some Corn Syrup and then rolled in regular granulated sugar and dried overnight, into a jar filled with the sugar dilute. you can put a paper towel or cheese cloth over it to keep the dust out. Leave it alone for a couple of months. You'll have a pretty cool treat that you can eat.
