CloneX Root Hormone Results
While this plant is being grown in the traditional outside setting (no CO2 enrichment or added heat), by adding the CloneX rooting hormone the increase in roots can still clearly be seen. This portion of the vine had to be lifted to allow the plywood and mill fabric to be properly positioned so even though this is a young root the amount of branching is great to see.
Branching really helps increase the surface area of the roots as this is important for absorption. Bigger thicker roots are actually less efficient at nutrient absorption, the key is the fine multi branched roots that allow for more efficient acquisition of nutrients and water for the plant.
