Rooting

A healthy, large root system is essential for cannabis plants to be able to absorb nutrients in the right way. If they manage to grow a decent root system right from the start your plants will be able to grow much faster and healthier.

The faster your roots grow, the faster your plants will be able to grow and the harder it will be for them to run out of water. If you-re spending money on fertilizers and substrates, especially expensive ones, there-s no point in using them if your plants can’t absorb them properly.

In order to keep this from happening you’ll need to pay a lot of attention to your cannabis plants when they first start growing, following their signs in order to make sure their roots grow strong and healthy. In order to do this correctly you can use root stimulants, keep reading to find out how and when to use them.

When to Use Root Stimulants?

• When planting seeds, you should use root stimulants once you’ve planted your germinated seeds in the first flower pot. Root stimulants are extremely helpful when it comes to this stressful period for the plant. Plus, we recommend using stimulants during the first 2 -3 growth weeks and every time your transplant.
• If you’re planting clones we also recommend using rooting products in the growth period and after every transplant.
• When taking care of mother plants, you should use a half-dose of root stimulants as maintenance.

Using Mycorrhizae and Trichoderma for Roots
