What is Clonex Rooting Hormone Gel (Clonex) used for?
Clonex Rooting Hormone Gel is the world’s first and leading propagating gel. It's a gel-based hormone formulation designed to promote the formation of roots in plant cuttings, which is crucial for successful cloning and propagation. The key benefits of using Clonex include quicker and healthier root growth, and healthy plant establishment. Unlike powder rooting hormones, Clonex’s gel consistency makes it easy to apply directly to the cut surface without worrying about excess powder or mess. It also helps the hormone stay in place, ensuring that the cutting receives consistent exposure to the rooting agents.

Is GT pH Lift safe to store and ship?
Yes.
Can I use GT pH Lift across different growing systems?
Yes.
How much GT pH Lift should I use?
Add GT pH Lift gradually using a dropper, mix well, and re-test before adding more.
How do I know if my pH is too low?
When pH drops too low, plants can struggle to efficiently absorb essential nutrients, which may lead to nutrient imbalances, reduced growth, root stress, and poor overall plant performance.
What is GT pH Lift made from?
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?
GT pH Drop is a citric acid based solution.
How should I store GT Oxy 3%?
Store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from direct light, and always keep the bottle upright.
Is GT Oxy 3% safe to use during propagation and on seedlings?
Yes.
Can GT Oxy 3% help with root rot?
Yes.
Can I use GT Oxy 3% alongside my nutrients?
Yes.
How often should I use GT Oxy 3%?
This depends on your application.
What is the difference between CCS & Clonex Gel?
Many growers know the Clonex Purple Hormone Rooting Gel. CCS is not the same product—and it isn’t meant to replace it. Use Clonex Gel immediately after taking a cutting (to support initial rooting response). Use CCS during the root development phase (to nourish and support establishment).
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."

Which Clonex product should I use?
Generally, the type of cutting, that is either softwood/semi hardwood etc determines which Clonex to use.
What is the usage capacity of a bottle of Clonex?
This depends on the diameter of the cutting and the depth to which the cutting is dipped, but the grower should expect several thousand cuttings per litre of Clonex.
Hydroponics – what is it?
Hydroponics is a sustainable and efficient way to grow plants without soil, using a nutrient-rich water solution.
What is Hydroponics?
Hydroponics is an innovative and sustainable way to grow plants without soil.
Could you be growing hydroponically without realising it?
Many new growers assume that hydroponics is complex, but you might already be using this method at home.
What are hydroponic nutrients?
Hydroponic nutrients are specially formulated plant foods that provide all the essential elements plants need to grow in a soilless system.
Why are hydroponic nutrients crucial for plant health?
Without soil, your plants rely entirely on you to provide the nutrients they need.
Why are macronutrients important in hydroponics?
Macronutrients like Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) are fundamental for healthy plant growth.
