Shogun Start — Cutting Initiation & Survival Stimulator

Shogun Start — Auxin-Based Cutting Initiation & Survival Stimulator

Strike roots sooner and increase your cutting survival rate with Shogun Start — uses natural plant hormones (auxins) for root initiation. Reduces root sprouting time, increases cutting survival rate, encourages root striking, growth and branching, and promotes white fluffy roots. Includes Shogun's SmartZen Maximiser for stress relief during the fragile cutting stage. Not just a "weaker" general nutrient — a delicately-balanced formula specifically for the propagation phase.

Why growers choose Shogun Start:

• Auxin-based root initiation — natural plant hormones drive root formation
• Reduces root sprouting time — faster transition from cutting to viable plant
• Increases cutting survival rate — fewer failed cuttings
• Encourages branching — more root mass develops, not just single-tap roots
• White fluffy roots — visible indicator of healthy development
• Includes SmartZen for stress relief — supports plants through fragile early stages
• Specifically for propagation — not a generic nutrient diluted weak

Who it's not for:

Specifically for propagation and very early veg — for established veg/flower plants, switch to base nutrients. For similar products at different price points: Canna Start, Plant Magic Magnecal D, Aptus Start Booster are alternatives. Pair with Clonex Rooting Gel for cutting-stem application; Shogun Start is root-zone, Clonex is the cut-end. Best results when used in a humidity-controlled propagator.
