Root boosters

In all my reading lately, I see root boosters that promote root health of the cannabis plant. The bigger the root, the better the bud.

Has anyone used a root booster? If so, at what point do you begin adding the boost? I’ve read to cut the booster in half when starting out, so as not to burn the plants.

My two girls are happy seedlings right now. I’m also interested in the benefits of the cannabis roots, as well as the buds.

I use rhyzotonic from Canna since germination to end blooming :slightly_smiling_face:

Interesting. Do you reduce the recommended amounts at all?

No I follow the Canna grow scheme and I apply max concentration because my water is sweet ( I don’t found the right word, I mean there is a bit mineral ).
And I altern watering once water only and once with nutrients :slightly_smiling_face:

Benefits of the cannabis roots? What’s that about? As far as root booster it depends on the brand you are using. For instance, I grow hydroponic plants so I use these nutrients on this schedule:

The “root booster” as you refer to it is this one,

With this it it remains the same once it’s determined that the seedling is strong enough to start receiving nutes of 2.5 ml in week two until it flips to flowering where the strength is reduced to 1 ml and eventually stopped before end of flowering period.

Hope this helps answer your questions.

Yooo. So I just got my GH nutes in, and it came with a little sample of that rapid start. I’m 3 weeks into flowering… Do you think it would be a good idea to put a bit of this in the feed until like 2 weeks before harvest? I haven’t used any root enhancers… Or I can just wait until next grow xD

ALso, do you feed exactly according to that schedule?

I guess it would be useful during seedling and vegetative stage when roots grow.
Roots stop growing while blooming, benefits would be weaks :slightly_smiling_face:

You can. If you notice tho in the chart below it drops down and eventually ends completely.

As far as using it, it depends on where your at, but honestly it maybe better to wait for a new grow.

Following the chart is something that I do “do”. Now that being said it only applies when it’s out so EC range, I’ll add a gallon of nutes mix.

The root booster I have is called MyCO+. I have yet to use it, but will do so in the coming days.

There are several websites that mention the benefits of cannabis roots. What catches my attention is the phrase “may kill cancer cells”. Having beat stage 3c ovarian cancer in 2020, I am open to anything that will help me live longer. Cannabis has certainly helped me with nausea and eating; two continuing side effects I must address every day. Hell, I even made some THC salve for my numb feet!

Don’t get me wrong here. I’m not running out to make cannabis root tea, but I will pursue the possibility of health benefits.

anyone used something like this for autoflowers seedling abd veg stage and get good results?

I’m using the BioBizz products, it includes a roots booster and so far I didn’t have to complain.
