Indoor GH - RapidStart Root Enhancer

[GCase]

Howdy again:

*****Edited 9/2/12*****

Trying not to put up a new thread.

Instructions say: Use through out the grow. Can any member tell me the best time to begin using RS after seedling or plants mature--in soil. Thanks.

I have a sample of GH's RapidStart Root Enhancer. Has anyone used it. Wondering best method of application for soil. How and when etc.

What is interesting is one of the non-plant food ingredients is - Willow Bark Extract. It is still prescribed for pain and inflammation. Looked it up; it differs from aspirin in that its effects start late but last longer--interesting.

Thanks - take it nice and easy.

I use it. Works GREAT! Use per directions on the bottle. Stimulates root growth FAST. Great stuff.

The willow bark is a natural source of IBA which is a plant hormone that promotes rooting. It is also the active ingredient in many rooting gels.

AOK Taviddude. The sample bottle is smeared and in microscopic print . And GH site instructions are limited. Kind of lazy tonight and did not research the net like I know I should.

You really answered my question----'Works GREAT.' That's what I need to know.

Thanks for :thumbs:

Bumping. Edited--new question. See original entry. Thanks.

I use it in my bubble cloner, and it has cut several days off of the rooting time. Is seems like they take just as long to start roots, but then super fast root growth. The cuttings are ready to transfer to dirt. I have not used it any other way, so I can't comment otherwise. Definitely get and follow the directions. Just a little, goes a long way.

First let me say, this stuff works awesome. I grow mostly Hydro, but I start using it 3 days after the plants pop. Rapid Start actually has some nutes in it, but VERY LITTLE. Not enough to hurt your young plant. It really seems to speed everything up in my experience. I don't see any point in using it after a few weeks into flower like TBM said. They just want you to run out sooner, and have to buy more in my opinion.

Sounds excellent TBM, Homie and Taviddude. Those are the kind of application instructions one would expect from experienced growers and ought to be on the bottle. I am going to--easy does it--for sure. Just a tad in a few of the pre-flowering feedings. I believe it must be the non-plant food extracts that do the trick (see first post) because it only has a touch of NPK in it.

Thanks again. Take it nice and easy.

I wonder if it can help create larger root system in a soil grow? Willow Bark can be made by boiling Willow tree branches like a tea. Let cool and use for up to a week. Many people use it to propagate roses.
