SHOGUN START 250ml

APPLICATION:
Watering - Add plain water to the nutrient container or watering can and allow to reach room temperature (If you are using tap water, it is best to leave it overnight to allow some of the chlorine to dissipate,we know this is not always convenient!). Then add SHOGUN Start at 4mL/L to a nutrient container or watering can. Reduce the pH to just below 7 before adding nutrients, then add your additives and nutrients. Re-check the pH (5.5-6.5) and EC, making sure it is no higher than 1.4. Repeat the method of changing/filling the tank. Use at very early stages of plant life.

SHOGUN START is a gentle nutrient formulated to ensure early plant and root development. It contains balanced micro and macro nutrients along with the Maximiser SmartZen ingredient. SHOGUN START provides your young plants with full strength of trace elements while keeping overall strength low.

Key Features
Encourages the movement of auxins from the leaf tip to the rooting site.
Accelerates germination.
Optimum concentration of micronutrients for healthy young plant development. This is the same as a full strength basal nutrient, while maintaining a low NPK.

HOW IT WORKS:

The need for a nutrient solution for young plants is critical to maximizing yield and growth potential. However, most nutrient companies overlook this all together and focus on the growth stages. Through extensive field trials and scientific research, SHOGUN Fertilizers realized that plants given sensitive nutrients at the seedling and cutting stages tremendously outperformed those given normal or half strength nutrients.

In addition, the SHOGUN Start formula was fortified with a unique ratio of boron and calcium, a key element that drives vigorous root growth, according to peer-reviewed journals. Our ongoing research projects and dedicated testing program have allowed us to refine our formula to create the ideal blend of micro and macro nutrients for early stage growth.

SYNERGISTIC EFFECTS

We recommend using SHOGUN Start together with Katana Roots to maximize the total benefits of both products. SHOGUN Start enhances the effects of Katana by distributing auxins more efficiently around the plant, producing better growth initiation results in a much shorter time.

Reduces germination time
Reduces cutting failure rate
Used to pre-soak a substrate, such as rockwool, before transplanting plants.
Increases chlorophyll content and thus photosynthesis
Contains SmartZen maximizing ingredient for better nutrient absorption
Increases resistance to pathogen infections
Provides an ideal balance of macro- and micronutrients for young plants
Stimulates the development of fluffy white roots. Product formulation controls both lateral root development and root proliferation
Efficient uptake of nutrients targeting early growth stages
Humic and fulvic acids improve healthy growth and increase nutrient uptake
