SHOGUN Start reduces the amount of time it takes for seedlings to form roots. Natural hormones called auxins cause elongation in root cells, allowing your plants to develop longer and more complex root networks. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat’s more, it vastly increases the survival rate of cuttings - so your hard work won’t be wasted. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGentle feeding for young plants \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYoung plants need a delicate balance: it’s important to provide all the right nutrients from the beginning without overfeeding. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSHOGUN Start contains vital macroelements in reduced quantities that are gentle enough for early growth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLeading SmartZen technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmartZen truly is a miracle from start to finish. You might recognise it from other SHOGUN products - it’s a pioneering booster that can increase yields by up to 8% more than standard NPKs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou might not be thinking about yields yet, but SmartZen has other benefits to offer your cuttings. It increases chlorophyll production to accelerate photosynthesis and produce shoots earlier than ever. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTreats transplant shock \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmartZen is also an effective remedy and prevention method for transplant shock. This is when a plant experiences high stress due to being moved. If left untreated, plants can lose leaves, wilt, or even die. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s particularly prevalent in cuttings, which need to be transplanted after germination. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe good news is that you can increase your cutting survival rate with SHOGUN Start! Pre-soak your propagation cubes before transplanting, or use as a root feed once you have moved your young plants. Stress levels will dramatically decrease and your plants will have a better chance of a calm, thriving root network. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eContains calcium and boron\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium and boron work together to encourage translocation (the movement of water and nutrients around a plant). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium is what stimulates photosynthesis and produces large yields. Boron activates the calcium - which is why you only need a trace amount of it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSHOGUN Start contains the ratios needed for calcium to perform at its best, fuelling root growth and preparing for larger, healthier plants. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eContains humic and fulvic acids\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHumic and fulvic acids are truly the all-rounders of young plants - and SHOGUN Start is packed with them. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHumic acids are large molecules that perform plant-friendly functions in soil. They chelate (bind to) toxic metals, preventing them from entering the plant. At the same time, they make cell walls more permeable for greater uptake of beneficial nutrients. Humic acids also encourage microbial activity in soil, allowing the beneficial bacteria already present to do their job even more effectively. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFulvic acids are mostly made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Their main appeal for plant growers is that they bind to nutrients and take them straight to your plants. They’re particularly adept at transporting calcium, which builds strong plant structures.
