 Roots Excelurator, awesome product

I had some freshly rooted clones in rockwool cubes, threw them in 2 gallon soil pots and applied a light dose of this for after the initial watering. Them seem to have grown faster then clones without this product.
If anything works, I think this product actually does something. Also I'm using Fox Farms Ocean Forest and Happy Frog soil. I've found that you do not want to use nutrients, or you have to be very careful with what you use regarding Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil. It already has lots of nutrients so maybe someone can enlighten me on what the plants actually need.
I have the General Hydroponics line of organic nutrients; BioThrive

I read on Fox Farms website that their Ocean Forest Soil has nitrogen in it already. I'm really clueless on what I should be adding to feed.

Yep, I used Roots Excelurator on my last grow and I'll never grow without it again. I wish it wasn't so damn expensive, but man it really does the trick. The roots in my bucket were so thick I couldn't even poke my finger into the soil

I use fox farm ocean forest soil and I using GH Flora nova veg and bloom at same levels as any other soil grower. Not sure what you mean by you have to be careful when using nutes with this soil? where did you get that info?

I was wondering how this stuff is, the new hydro shop owner in town gave me 3 pints of it for free. I guess it's another one of those products he just doesn't like. He told me to test it out, and if I like it he has something better that I will definately like.
When's the best time to use the Root Excelurator? Just during the cloning stage, or throughout veg also?

I wonder if it's just vitamin solution with NAA in it?
Any useful info on the label?

We just had a conversation about how he hated flora nova, and he was just walking me around the store bs'ing and he brought up root excelurator. I told him I never used it, and about 20mins later when I was checking out he goes "you remember the root excelurator I was telling you about? Take these let me know if you like it" Since I'm growing out my moms for my upcoming journal, I haven't needed them yet. They've just been chilling. I thought it was just crap since he gave me 3 bottles. Not until recently I've found that a lot of growers are using it. So in about 2-3 weeks when I cut clones I'll give it a try.
Also it says you shouldn't use an airstone in your reservoir. I'm not using a stone but I do grow using aeroponics. Will this screw up the stability of the solution?
Oh yeah Harry was that in your message meant for me?

Actually now that I looked at the bottle there probably more like half pint bottles maybe a little smaller. But it still looks like a decent amount. The bottle says it's by House and Garden use 1.1ml per gallon. Does that sound like the right stuff?

Weird, never saw the Excelurator in a glass vial. Always those shiny aluminum ones. I'm gonna give this stuff a go when I do my next clone run. I'll plop down the 60 bucks on the small bottle to check it out, wouldn't dare drop the 100$ the hydro store wanted for a slightly larger bottle. That amount of money would give me enough nutes to last an entire year lol.

I hesitated investing the money into it at first as well. But it was WAY worth the price. You wont regret it.

I wish I could personally give it a try, but I'm an aeroponic grower. I guess I could try it out in a seedling try the next time I cut clones. Otherwise I'm giving them to a buddy, and sending one to Harry if he hits me up. Do you guys know of any good rooting products that can be used in aero/hydroponic setups?

You could always supplement the water supply with a B1 additive like super thrive or thrive alive. I'd say you could probably even use the roots excelurator (god i fucking HATE how that's spelled) in an aero system as well.
I'm planning on using it pretty much just for cloning. If it can help shave days off my cloning cycle I'll be a believer for life.

I haven't used it for cloning. You should report back here and let us know how it worked. In soil grows it's the shit
