Rhizotonic alternative

[Jimboss83]

Hey crew

I had a quick search on these forums but the keyword rhizotonic comes up in a loooot of posts so apologies for repeating a question that’s probably been asked a tonne of times

 

 

I’m about to take some more cuttings and put them in my aerocloner .

Was wondering if anyone has used seasol for this ? $10 for a litre vs $80-$90 with rhizo ..

Or are their any other cheaper alternatives - I’ve always had success with rhizo but I’ve never used anything else I suppose

Cheers

When I was using a home made aero cloner or similar I would just use 1/4 strength nutrient solution. You should be fine without the rhizotonic and seasol should be ok to use if you wish.

Thanks naycha - just normal veg nutes with a bit of silica or don’t worry till they’ve struck roots I take it ?

I wouldn't worry about additives until they've rooted and then just go with your regular schedule.

Superthrive might be worth a look, I only run water and drip clean until roots establish themselves.

I’m probably just being a tightass - $80 for a litre and I usually use 20ml in the 10L aerocloner reservoir and change it once - so 40Ml per cycle

It’s only cause I was thinking I might start using it during veg with silica and A and B nutes but I chop through a 80L res a week so a bottle per veg stage roughly would be expensive

One alternative if you want to use it j-boss, is kelp meal. 1 teaspoon per litre of filtered or rainwater and you got yourself some nice homemade kick arse seasol.

Nice sooty I’ll give it a crack for sure
