Shogun Start is a specialist early-stage nutrient designed to improve rooting speed, increase cutting success rates and support strong plant establishment from the very beginning.
Built for cuttings, seedlings and young plants, it delivers a carefully balanced mix of nutrients and rooting support to develop a healthy, active root system that sets the foundation for the entire grow.
The early stages of growth are critical. Poor rooting or slow establishment can hold plants back for the rest of the cycle, limiting growth potential and overall yield.
Shogun Start provides the exact balance of nutrients and rooting support needed at this stage, helping plants develop strong, healthy root systems quickly. With added calcium, boron and rooting hormones, it ensures faster establishment and better long-term performance.

Use Shogun Start to pre-soak your propagation media before inserting cuttings. This ensures nutrients are immediately available at the root zone, helping speed up rooting and improve early plant health.
I've used your shogun coco a&b before but not start or katana. Only used biosys to soak plugs ... Surely I don't need All three to start? Also used charge.
Totally fair question — you don’t need all three to get going, but they each play a different role early on. Biosys is great for microbes and Charge gives that early boost, but Shogun Start is tailored for seedlings and cuttings with a low-strength NPK plus rooting hormones, while Katana Roots specifically drives root mass.
If you’re already using Biosys and Charge, adding just Start or Katana can still improve results — you don’t have to use the full trio unless you want to maximise early growth. Hope that helps!
