Clonex Clone Solution (CCS): Fast Root Growth for Propagation

Propagation success is won or lost in the early stages. When cuttings form strong roots quickly, establishment is smoother, stress is lower, and growth becomes more predictable.

Clonex Clone Solution (CCS)—often referred to as CCS—is designed to support fast, healthy, vigorous root growth during propagation, while also helping small or stressed plants stabilise.

What CCS is (and what it isn’t)

CCS is a highly bioavailable, pH-buffered liquid designed to be ready for uptake—making it suitable in both hydroponic setups and soil/potting mixes.

It’s also pH buffered, which means with most tap waters you typically won’t need to pH-adjust just to start using it.

CCS vs Clonex Gel: complementary, not interchangeable

Many growers know the Clonex Purple Hormone Rooting Gel. CCS is not the same product—and it isn’t meant to replace it.

1. Use Clonex Gel immediately after taking a cutting (to support initial rooting response)
2. Use CCS during the root development phase (to nourish and support establishment)

Same ecosystem, different job.

Where CCS shines

CCS can be used for:

• Propagation and establishment of smaller plants
• Water propagation (add a few drops to the water where cuttings are submerged)
• Stress recovery when plants are adjusting to a new environment

How to use CCS (dosing)

A practical starting point:

• Watering: 5 ml CCS per 1 litre of water
• Foliar spray: 3 ml per 1 litre of water

Use CCS consistently through the establishment window—then transition once the root system is strong.

Once roots are established and the plant is ready to shift priorities toward above-ground growth, it’s a good time to move to a complete nutrient solution.

For many growers, that means switching to a Focus Range nutrient such as Foliage Focus (depending on the plant and the outcome you’re aiming for).

Key takeaway: CCS supports propagation and early establishment. Strong roots first—then complete nutrition for sustained growth.
