Yep the starfighter mom was super healthy, raging under 315's @We Solidarity !!
Yeah I believe the health of the mother has been covered in a earlier post we all understand that but there some cut's that I promise you will not root before 2 weeks period! And I find that hard to believe that the RE turned your roots brown an the growth just quit growing after the cut rooted I have had quite the opposite effects once the clones rooted boom explosion double in size every day an there others that had the same effects! An I use to do the rapid rooters an tap water with healthy mother's plant's an there is no way that it even comes close to throwing as fast as when I use the RE!this is what I'm sayin...it's all about the mother. Idk if we're gonna be running the RE, I see the same thing cap did, a quick little burst of growth and then things slow down. One of our cloners with RE was starting to get brown roots so we swtiched back to rapidstart and everythings shiny and poppin again.
But yeah, once again, the biggest factor isn't the bottle, it's the health of the mother. You'll see completely different results even a week apart in some genetics, there really is a window that you have to hit to take good ragin clones, if you miss it it's super likely you'll run into problems/delayed growth.
If I add a zym or bennies, then I get Brown roots. With just the RE, nothing but pure white roots. If your roots were brown, it's your technique, not the Root Enhance.
Cloners get cleaned every five days and pumps/manifolds replaced every three rounds, moms are retired after 3 cuttings or 5 months whichever comes first. The last two batches were off of old moms, previous one is already transplanted but here's day eight since cutting on the recent one, same mother under the same light in 96 site turbos, best clone from each (the mother is on her third and final clone run and is definitely exhausted, we'll transplant in two days roots should be putting out a half inch a day at least)

Rapidstart is garbage, Ive run several bottles. That stuff gave me brown roots.
Honestly that just looks like one bad clone, it happens even with the Root Enhance. Running whole groups is were the difference shows best.
I still dont see any brown roots on that RE clone?
I came into this thread looking for something that was comparable/superior to Root Excel in veg, not so much cloning. I forgot about my first intention when the conversation veered off to initial rooting.
Any of you have side by side comparisons with Root Enhance vs Root Excel, or better yet ANYTHING better than Root Excel? I go through a lot of that stuff and trying to hope there's something better and cheaper.
