Rooting cuttings with Root Shoot

The root-zone starting point

Monkey Root Shoot is a 100% natural plant-extract root stimulator. It is rich in phyto-hormones such as cytokinin and uses cold-pressed Arctic sea kelp as a key ingredient. Humic and fulvic acids, molasses, and vitamins B1 and B5 complete the supplied ingredient list. The intended benefits are faster, larger and more complex roots, a healthy rhizosphere, improved nutrient uptake and reduced disease risk. These are the stated roles of the product; they do not provide a measured yield guarantee for every crop or system.

Use confirmed guidance, not an invented cutting dose

Root Shoot supports root development, but no separate cutting soak or dip dose is supplied. Ask your stockist for propagation-specific instructions. The feeding chart lists 2 ml per 10 litres in veg weeks 1–2, then 3 ml from veg week 3 through bloom week 5. These are reservoir programme figures, not a confirmed cutting dip recipe.

Choose product information over assumptions

Root Shoot’s bottle sizes need confirmation because supplied range and homepage lists differ. The site therefore does not publish an unverified size selector. Ask your stockist which sizes are available rather than choosing from conflicting lists. The same discipline applies to rooting cuttings: the supplied chart gives reservoir doses, but no separate soak, dip or specialist cutting dilution is confirmed. Do not create one by extrapolating. Keep the product role, confirmed programme and unanswered question separate so that advice remains useful and honest.

Check the programme before you start

The Monkey feeding chart is written as a ratio per 10 litres of water. Its headings distinguish vegetative growth, bloom and flush, and the programme toggle selects PK or Resin. Before measuring anything, check that the week on the screen is the week you intended. A veg week and a bloom week can share a number but involve different base feeds. The chart’s ranges should remain ranges in your notes. A displayed interval does not mean that the website has secretly chosen one precise value for your crop. Read the full row and the surrounding programme rather than lifting a number out of context.

The calculator is a convenient way to change reservoir volume without changing the underlying chart. Enter litres, choose the week and programme, and read the millilitres for each included product. If you double the water volume, the confirmed amounts double; if you halve it, they halve. A product without a confirmed dose is not automatically assigned one. This simple boundary is important: arithmetic can scale an instruction, but it cannot supply missing product guidance.
