Rooting Compound Comparison

[SquenchyBudz]

Hey everybody... I thought since I've been getting some good help around here, I'd try to give something back to the community, albeit something small. Hopefully it will help someone out.

I bought some Schultz Take Root Powder at Home Depot, Ordered some Olivia's gel online, and since I made a semi-big order from them, they sent me a small sample of Roottech gel and Superthrive.

I decided to try all 3 at the same time in an aero cloner to see what kind of results I got.

The FIRST one to root was the Roottech gel. I'm talking like 3 days and there were nice little prickly roots.

Second to root was the Schultz Take Root. Couple days after. At this time, the Olivia's were just barely starting to get bumps... but I could tell they were coming along.

Olivia's was last to root... but you sometimes get rewarded for patience. I took these picturesd after about 12 days and while being the last to root,... well, you just look at the pictures and decide for yourself.

I got Olivias I took my first cuttings about 4 or 5 days ago no roots yet. I'm using an aeroponic cloner and some superthrive also this makes me glad I choose Olivias hoopefuly I get same results!

These pics were all taken on the same day. Same cloner same conditions.

I been swearing by Olivias gel for almost a decade now..Very nice comparison..
I would definatly rather wait a few extra days for healthier more vigorous roots..

Great test man... I use rootech my self but those roots in the first pic look really healthy.

 

[jansjukebox]

Yeah I use rootech too but I've only heard great things about Olivias.

I'm in no way trying to get anyone to change what has always worked for them or anything like that... just figured since I had all 3, it'd be an interesting comparison to do.
