What is the difference between Clonex Clone Solution (CCS) and Rootzone?
CCS and Rootzone each play a unique role in plant growth. CCS is a specially formulated nutrient solution that provides cuttings and seedlings with essential nutrients for strong root development and healthy early growth, giving young plants the best start possible. Rootzone, an organic-based supplement, supports plants throughout their entire life cycle by enhancing nutrient uptake and promoting optimal root health. It ensures plants continue to thrive as they mature. Together, CCS and Rootzone form a seamless nutrient system – CCS gives seedlings a strong foundation, while Rootzone offers long-term support – ensuring your plants grow healthy and productive from first sprout to final harvest. Whether you're new to hydroponics or a seasoned grower, these two products working together ensure your hydroponic garden flourishes at every stage.

GT pH Lift is a potassium carbonate based solution.
What is the ideal pH range for my nutrient solution?
For most growing systems, a pH between 5.5 and 6.5 is recommended.
Can I use GT pH Drop across different growing systems?
Yes.
How much GT pH Drop should I use?
Add GT pH Drop gradually using a dropper, mix well, and re-test before adding more.
How do I know if my pH is too high?
If your pH is too high, plants may struggle to access key nutrients including iron, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus.
What is GT pH Drop made from?

How do I use GT Foliar?
GT Foliar comes in a ready to use trigger pack. It couldn’t get much easier – simply point and spray.
"Rootzone has been a miracle when it comes to increasing root density, preventing rot, and establishing cuttings. Along with the forever favourites CCS and Clonex, there is not a cutting that these products can’t get growing."
