Give your young plants the ultimate introduction to life with SHOGUN Start. This professional-grade propagation booster drastically reduces the time it takes for seedlings and cuttings to establish root initials while significantly increasing cutting survival rates.

By combining low-concentration, gentle macro elements with advanced bio-stimulants, SHOGUN Start delivers everything a young plant needs to flourish without the risk of nutrient burn or overfeeding. It establishes a robust foundation, ensuring your hard work during the critical early stages translates into a healthy, high-yielding crop.

Core Cultivation Advantages:

Accelerated Root Initial Elongation: Formulated with naturally occurring auxins that drive rapid cellular elongation and division within the root zone. This allows young plants to develop longer, denser, and more intricate root networks in record time.
Maximised Cutting Survival & Shock Prevention: Drastically reduces the incidence of transplant shock - a common, high-stress event during cutting relocation that can lead to leaf drop, wilting, or plant mortality.
Pioneering SmartZen® Technology: Features SHOGUN's proprietary ingredient complex, which upregulates chlorophyll production, accelerates early photosynthetic activity, and drives earlier shoot development.
Synergistic Calcium & Boron Matrix: Contains a precisely calibrated ratio of Calcium and Boron. Boron acts as the vital trigger that activates Calcium, optimising internal translocation (the movement of water and nutrients) to build strong, rigid cell walls from day one.
Humic & Fulvic Acid Defense Complex: Packed with premium organic fractions. Humic acids chelate toxic heavy metals in the substrate while increasing cell wall permeability for enhanced nutrient uptake and boosting beneficial soil microbial activity. Fulvic acids act as high-efficiency transport vehicles, binding directly to nutrients—especially Calcium—and carrying them straight into the plant tissue.

Application Target & Timing

SHOGUN Start is a highly versatile, gentle formulation engineered specifically for seedlings, unrooted cuttings, and young vegetative plants across all growing media (coco, soil, and hydroponics).

Application Target	Treatment Type	System Integration / Substrate
Cuttings & Seedlings	Substrate Pre-Soak	Ideal for pre-conditioning rockwool, coco, or peat propagation cubes.
Early Vegetative Growth	Gentle Root Feed	Apply during the first two weeks of the vegetative cycle across all cultivation systems.
Targeted Relief	Foliar Spray	Apply directly to the canopy of unrooted cuttings to alleviate stress and provide immediate hydration.

Step-by-Step Usage Instructions:

1.Pre-soak your propagation medium:Cube Preparation.

To protect new cuttings from transplant shock, dilute SHOGUN Start at a rate of 3ml - 4ml per litre of clean water. Completely soak your propagation cubes (rockwool, root plugs, or coco) in this solution before introducing your cuttings.

2.Mist unrooted cuttings:Foliar Application.

For rapid, targeted stress relief, dilute at a rate of 3ml - 4ml per litre and apply directly to the leaves using a fine misting bottle.

3.Transition to root feeding:Early Veg Feeding.

Once your young plants are established, use SHOGUN Start as a gentle root feed during the first two weeks of the vegetative period. Dilute at a rate of 4ml–8ml per litre and add directly to your soil, coco, or hydroponic reservoir.

4.Pair with Katana Roots:Synergy Integration.

For maximum rooting efficiency, pair SHOGUN Start with SHOGUN Katana Roots. This combination maximizes early root development and seamlessly carries your root network health through into the vegetative and early flowering cycles.
