FAQs
Can I use the Focus range if I am not growing hydroponically?
Yes, you certainly can. Simply follow the correct dilution rate on the label to ensure your plants receive the appropriate nutrients.
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).
Why does Clonex gel liquefy?
Exposure to extreme temperatures or improper storage can cause Clonex gel to liquefy.
How do I use Clonex Rooting Hormone Gel?
To use Clonex, clean and sterilise your tools before starting. Cut your stem at a 45-degree angle just below a node, dip it into the Clonex Gel, and place the cutting in your chosen growing medium.
