How to Use Shogun Katana Roots
Shogun Katana Roots is highly concentrated and effective throughout your plant's early life stages and into the vegetative and early flowering phases.For Cuttings & Seedlings:- Mix at a rate of 5ml per litre of nutrient solution.
- Soak propagation media (such as rockwool cubes or Jiffy peat plugs) in this solution for approximately 15 minutes before use.
- Once plants are established, water them with this solution once per week until they are ready to be potted on. This works perfectly alongside Shogun Start for young plants.
As a Root Feed (Vegetative Stage & Early Flowering):- Add at a rate of 0.2ml per litre to your nutrient reservoir or watering can.
- Use this solution throughout the entire vegetative stage and for the first three weeks of the flowering cycle.
- For optimal results, combine with your chosen Shogun base nutrient, such as Shogun Samurai Hydro Grow or Shogun Samurai Terra Grow.
As a Foliar Spray (for stressed plants):- Apply 1-2 times per week at a rate of 5ml per litre.
- This can help stressed plants recover quickly and effectively.
- Best Practices: Always mix solutions thoroughly and maintain optimal pH and EC levels in your nutrient solution to ensure maximum absorption. Consider incorporating Shogun ZenZym for an even healthier root zone and improved nutrient uptake.
Available in 1 litre and 5 litres.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you use a root stimulator on established plants?
Yes, absolutely! While root stimulators are crucial for seedlings and cuttings, they can also be highly beneficial for established plants. Using a root stimulator on mature plants can help improve overall root health, enhance nutrient uptake, and increase resistance to stress and disease, even if at a reduced dosage compared to young plants.What is the difference between rooting hormone and root stimulator?
Rooting hormone typically refers to products primarily containing auxins (plant hormones like IBA or NAA) that directly induce root formation on cuttings. Root stimulators, like Shogun Katana Roots, often contain auxins but are generally broader formulations including a blend of vitamins, amino acids, and other nutrients that stimulate overall root growth, development, and health, not just initiation.How long does it take for a root stimulator to work?
The time it takes for a root stimulator to show visible results can vary depending on the plant species, growing conditions, and the product itself. However, with Shogun Katana Roots, you can often observe accelerated root development in cuttings and seedlings within 5-10 days, with continued improvements in root mass and plant vigour throughout its usage.SKU: 1534 Free delivery on orders over £60*
