to me rhizotonic seems to work much more effective aplied in the nute water and sprayed on the leafs in veg.

any one else tried it?

i use 1 part distilled water to 2 parts tap water. to one liter of spraying water i put 4 ml of rhizotonic - i spray after the light is switched of and i leave the circulating vents off for about 2-3 hours.

peace all

Good thread !!

It makes the pH go up when i add to nutrients , anybody else get this ? haven t used it enough to say if i notice a big difference in root formation though .

Canna website mentions it works best used at low ec levels .

peace

yeah it does put the ph up a tiny bit

What is the purpose behind mixing your tap water with distilled?

Rhizotonic will take your pH up a lot if you bubble the mixture with an airstone.

airstones allways seem to make the ph go up

i mix the tap water with distilled water to have lower ec. also - if u use tapwater only - there might be a risk of an accumulacion of lime etc on the leafs. i like to keep the water pure.

mixing with RO water is a good choise too

Iv never tried spraying it on the leaves!!
I also find that it puts my ph right up but i have great results with it in coco soil and hydro..
Thanks for posting your results bonecarver...Peace

Then why not use all distilled or RO?

Is it a matter of cost? or do you have other concerns?

I have to use all RO or rainwater off the galvanized steel roof for my garden. The tap (drilled well) water here is unfit for human consumption from all the minerals, so I definitely won't give my plants any of it. I was figuring it out the other day that water is the most expensive part of my grow at over $40 per month, when I have to buy it all.

We drilled a new well on our retirement property last summer. It produces 15 gallons per minute of pure sweet H2O...the plants will love it...

...4 more years to retirement....and counting.

it actually says on the bottleto use on leafs untill a healthy root system has developed - so i just started using ONLY rhizotonic sprayed on the clone leafs (that i dont cut down at all) and i got rooted clones in 5-6 days.. so i thought after a while to apply same in veg it works real well

and its way cheaper than using it in the nute water peace

Interesting...I may finally try some rhizotonic

Thanks bones

Dang. Really? No wonder I am always fighting to keep my ph stable.... shucks.

I guess I cannot really say that the rhizo raises ppms cause I cannot tell

But the oxygenated nute solution is crip though....
