Build a Stronger Root System from the Start
Give your hydroponic plants the foundation they need with Plagron Hydro Roots, a concentrated mineral root enhancer developed specifically for hydro and system-fed growing.
Its combination of phosphorus and boron supports fast root development, increased root branching and thicker root hairs, helping create a larger root surface area for efficient water and nutrient uptake. A stronger, better-developed root structure gives plants the support they need for vigorous growth as they move through the growing cycle.
With no organic ingredients, Hydro Roots is ideal for hydroponic and irrigation systems where a clean nutrient solution matters, helping minimise the risk of clogged drippers and pumps.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Plagron Hydro Roots do?
Hydro Roots is a mineral root enhancer designed to promote the development of a strong, well-branched root system. It supports secondary root development and thicker root hairs, increasing the root surface available for absorbing water and nutrients.
Is Plagron Hydro Roots suitable for hydroponic systems?
Yes. Hydro Roots was specifically developed for hydroponic growing and system feeding. Its mineral formulation contains no organic ingredients, making it suitable for circulated irrigation systems, drippers and pumps.
How much Plagron Hydro Roots should I use per litre?
Shake well before use and add 1 ml of Hydro Roots per litre of water, giving a dilution of 1:1,000. Plagron recommends using the solution with each watering during the recommended application period.
What is the difference between Plagron Hydro Roots and Power Roots?
Hydro Roots is a strictly mineral product developed with system feeding in mind, whereas Power Roots contains organic components and is better suited to hand feeding. If you're running a recirculating hydroponic or irrigation system, Hydro Roots is the better choice for reducing potential clogging issues.
When should I stop using Plagron Hydro Roots?
For short-cycle plants, use Hydro Roots through the early growing period and stop after the third week of flowering. By this stage, the aim is to have an established root system so the plant can direct more of its energy towards flower development.
Can I use Hydro Roots with other Plagron nutrients and boosters?
Yes. Plagron specifically recommends combining Hydro Roots with Hydro A & B, Green Sensation and Power Buds. It can also be combined with products from Plagron's Universal range, allowing you to build a feeding programme around your particular setup.
