Strike roots sooner & increase your cutting survival rate with SHOGUN Start.
It uses natural hormones (auxins) in plants for root initiation.
It’s not just a ‘weaker’ solution. It’s a delicate mix of micro & macronutrients that cuttings & seedlings need.
Plants get full strength trace elements, but a lower overall strength.
There are no heavy metals or pesticides. And it's made using 'technical grade' ingredients, which are better quality than the 'fertiliser grade' ingredients most ranges use.
Use it for pre-soaking propagation cubes and as a root feed for cuttings and seedlings.
Dose with this and plants will developer a healthy root network that maximises yield.
For rapid rooting & establishment, the CA + B ratio in SHOGUN Start encourages auxins (hormones) to move to the rooting point. This increases root initiation. No rooting hormone additive is needed!
It’s also been boosted with Calcium & Boron – both drive vigorous root growth.
Both increase nutrient uptake & transportation of the calcium & boron.
It’s been proven to increase yield! It increases chlorophyll content to photosynthesis (sugar production). It also enhances nutrient assimilation, along with enzyme driven process & mitochondria activity. It also reduces heat & transplanting stress.
For the first 2 weeks, use it as a root feed.
It is suitable for use in aeroponic propagators and can also be used as a foliar spray.
It's great for mother plants. At any stage of growth, you can use it for pre-soaking media instead of using a half-strength feed.
For best results, use it with Katana roots, but it’s compatible with any brand of root stimulator.

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!
