A fresh cutting cannot feed itself through roots it does not have yet, and seedlings are small and easy to over or under feed. Clonex Clone Solution, CCS on the label, is Growth Technology's complete nutrient for exactly that stage, made in Australia: all 12 essential minerals with added thiamine, pre-buffered so there is no pH to adjust, and free from sodium, chlorides and urea. It works four ways: as a root feed at 5ml per litre, as a 3ml per litre foliar mist for cuttings before they root, in water propagation jars, and as a drench for plants struggling after transplant. It is a nutrient, not a rooting hormone, so it pairs with a rooting gel rather than replacing one. Available in 250ml, 1L, 5L and 20L.

A nutrient, not a rooting hormone. CCS feeds cuttings and seedlings. For the hormone, use Clonex Purple. Growth Technology's direction is gel when you take the cutting, then CCS while roots develop. The two are not interchangeable.
Feeds cuttings before they rootA 3ml per litre mist on both leaf surfaces gives unrooted cuttings nutrients through the leaf, which Growth Technology recommends for rapid uptake before roots establish.
Made for water propagation5ml per litre in the jar, refreshed weekly, gives a cutting rooting in water all 12 essential minerals while it waits.
Pre-buffered, nothing to adjustNo pH pen, no adjusting. Mix it with water and use it. No sodium, chlorides or urea to build up in a small plug or a jar.
Thiamine for transplant stressGrowth Technology adds thiamine to help cuttings and seedlings through propagation and transplanting, and lists a 5ml per litre drench or spray for plants showing transplant stress.
Complete, at the right strengthAll 12 essential minerals, set by Growth Technology at the strength cuttings and seedlings use. The full analysis is in Specifications.
The second half of the Clonex systemClonex gel starts the roots, CCS feeds them while they form. Growth Technology designed the two to be used together.

Grower's Tip

  • Soak rockwool cubes or propagation plugs in CCS at 5ml per litre before you set the cuttings. The label lists it for medium soaking, and the cutting goes into a fed medium from day one.
  • Mist unrooted cuttings at 3ml per litre on both sides of the leaves, in low light as Growth Technology directs.
  • Cuttings are commonly run under 24 hours of light, but that is plant-specific and some varieties do better with a few hours of dark. Check what suits the plant you are propagating rather than treating any photoperiod as a rule.
  • In water propagation, change the solution every week. Growth Technology's reason: it keeps nutrients available and stops bacteria building up in the jar.
  • One cap holds 20ml, so a quarter of a cap in a litre of water is the 5ml general rate.
  • Once cuttings have rooted and are growing away, move them onto a full feed for their type, such as a Focus line for houseplants and garden plants.
  • Store the bottle somewhere cool and dark.

How To Use It

1Shake the bottle and measure 5ml per litre of water for root feeding, water propagation and medium soaking, or 3ml per litre for foliar misting.
2Soak the propagation medium in the 5ml per litre solution before setting the cuttings.
3Water cuttings and seedlings with the 5ml per litre solution at each watering.
4For cuttings without roots yet, mist the 3ml per litre solution onto both leaf surfaces in low light.
5For water propagation, use 5ml per litre in the jar and replace it weekly.
6For plants showing transplant stress, apply 5ml per litre as a root drench or foliar spray.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CCS a rooting hormone?

No. CCS is a complete nutrient for cuttings and seedlings. The rooting hormone is Clonex gel. Growth Technology's direction is gel when the cutting is taken, then CCS while roots develop.

Can I use CCS for water propagation?

Yes. Use 5ml per litre of water in the jar and refresh it weekly to keep nutrients available and stop bacteria building up.

Can I spray CCS on cuttings?

Yes. Mix 3ml per litre and apply a fine mist to both leaf surfaces in low light. Growth Technology recommends it for cuttings before their roots establish.

Do I need to adjust the pH?

No. CCS is pre-buffered, so it goes straight from the measuring cup into the water.

Can I use it on seedlings?

Yes. The label describes it as a nutrient for cuttings and seedlings. Use 5ml per litre at each watering.

Does it help plants after transplanting?

Yes, that is one of Growth Technology's listed uses: 5ml per litre as a root drench or foliar spray for plants showing transplant stress.

What is in CCS?

All 12 essential minerals plus thiamine. The analysis is nitrate-nitrogen 1.73%, phosphorus 0.33% and potassium 2.16% w/v, with calcium, magnesium, sulfur and six trace elements. It contains no sodium, chlorides or urea.

What is the difference between CCS and Rootzone?

CCS is a nutrient for the propagation stage: cuttings and seedlings. Rootzone is an additive used with a nutrient for the rest of the plant's life. Growth Technology presents them as a pair: CCS for the start, Rootzone for the long haul.

Growers First, Retailers Second

Welcome to The Grow Guys

We built The Grow Guys from the soil up — well, coco and perlite. Before we sold gear, we bought it, ran it, and learned the hard way what's worth the money and what ends up in the shed. That's the filter everything on our shelves passes through. No sales scripts, no rebadged junk, no telling you what you want to hear. Just gear we'd run ourselves and advice from people who actually grow. Chasing higher yields, tighter flowers, or your first harvest? You're in the right place.
