Hi folks
what root stimulants do you use ?
what do you folks like and why
which is the hottest one out there on the market ?

Im guna try the new plant magic one when I finish up on the one im using at the min. Have used the granules and have been impressed. Want to try all their nutrient range.

forgive my tardiness...what are these granules??

i use worm casts and feel i could have more 'ooomph' in the root department.

I always hear good things about Rhizotonic; at least I've never seen anyone state that it's useless or has no effect.

I've had good results pre-soaking rockwool cubes in Nitrozyme (fully rooted within two days) so I add a little of that to my tank now.

Regen-A-Root is the best imo....tried Rhizotonic, Voodoo Juice but RAR is the one i have seen the most roots with.

I'm a firm believer in evidence based opinion, as opposed to bullshit and marketing:

The photos speak for themselves. The experiment needs to be repeated but these initial results are very interesting.

Very.

i been trying some of that Regen a root by Canadian xpress and i think the stuff is awesome its the best root stimulant i have ever used blowes rhizo out the water for sure they say it still makes your plants produce roots all they way through the flower cycle too not that far in yet like but i will see soon i would recommend this stuff peeps must try it

Maxicrop works well.

never seen out like this Regen a root the roots are so thick and very white and i tried a few root stims maxicrop is more for soil were Regen a root is for hydro

i just finished a bottle of superthrive (which lasted a year!) and i got good results but it is the only one i have used so i couldnt compare it to anything else, SP

Guys, Superthrive is not a root stimulator - it might bring benefits to the root zone but it in itself is not a root stim. Rhizotonic, Root Exelurator or any specific root stim should destroy Superthrive on root development performance...

Biobizz Rootjuice all the way to flower

reegen a root for me to ...as said above 10x better than rizo and any other ones ive tried over the years..
my local gave me a tester as i was not into it after all the other things ive tried and fock me sidaways the stuff the nuts
good price aswell.he gave me tester of the hole range but i only use the reegen a root from them

i grow in pebbles and find rhizotonic very good but Root Excelurator to be the best

I always thought regen a root was more of a preventative against root disease than a root stim ?

its good stuff

it brakes it down and then helps make heathy new roots when you have root probs ..thats what it says on the bottle
i use it soon as i see roots till i flush and my roots on a nft table have never look so good at the end of the grow..
not into loads of add on my self but this has got me buying it ..does what it says on the bottle

I also thought this ? So does it have any feed at all ??

Cheers

not sure whats in it
i think it similar chemical to what the plant roots produce to protect its self
its good stuff though
i have also been testing some Bcuzz root stimulant i also think this is good stuff to much better than rhizotonic and only 1ml per liter
rhizotonic is much overrated me thinks
so far i think regen a root produces much thicker roots and Bcuzz produces more finer root hairs i like em both

good post,..and nice pics Green ninja.

i started using growers ark root stimulator a few months back now...in conjunction with trichoderma.these are my root-ball type in general.compared to using nothing its leaps ahead.untreated im gerttin nothing like these results root wise.

RootJuice has always worked well with cuttings for me. Used some RHS Rootgrow on my seed grow this year - it's mycorrhizal fungi so works with the root system to help unlock all available nutrients, was well impressed.

im using regen a root for the first time on my nft grow.....but tbh i've never tried a root stim before, so cant compare, but the roots do seem to be more thicker then previous.
i guess i'll see what difference it made when it comes to chopping down.

iv got just under a full bottle of regen a root from an nft grow i did a while bk can i use this in soil ????

it says on the bottles its designed for nft, but it does say you can use it on other methods.
i do add abit now and again when i water my bonsai mums.

I've only used the rootgrow, alongside maxicrop. I've found it very effective with canna and other garden plants.

Trichoderma for has been the best root stim i've used prob, not sure if you can use it in a hydro system though

Don't think Trichoderma is a root stimulator as such, it destroys pathogenic fungi, particularly in the root system to prevent fungal diseases. This may increase overall vigour but i don't think it constitutes a root stimulant

rootgrow and maxicrop for me too
