Quick Answer Low-EC, high-availability mineral complex engineered for the critical first 72 hours of a cutting's life. Feeds cuttings through the window where most propagation failures actually happen. Best suited to the take-cutting-to-rooted-plant window specifically, not general feeding. Ships fast from within Australia. Clonex Clone Solution (CCS) is a professional-grade propagation mineral complex formulated specifically for the critical window between taking a cutting and establishing a rooted plant. Cloning success is determined in the first 72 hours, without the right nutritional support, cuttings fail to root, yellow out, or collapse under dehydration stress before they ever get started. CCS delivers a low-EC, high-availability nutrient profile that feeds cuttings through the stem and newly formed roots, triggering root primordia formation and keeping clones viable until they're ready for full-strength veg nutrients. Compatible with Rockwool, Jiffy plugs, perlite, and aeroponic cloner systems. Key Benefits Triggers root primordia formation at the cut site for faster, more uniform strike rates Low-EC formula feeds unrooted cuttings without nutrient burn or osmotic stress Balanced micronutrients and trace elements prevent yellowing during the transition phase Maintains hydration and improves nutrient absorption through the stem before roots establish Pre-conditions clones for transplant, reducing shock when moving to the main system Synergistic with Clonex Rooting Gel, the combination used by commercial facilities across Australia How It Works When a cutting is taken, it must transition from stored carbohydrate energy to active cellular division, and that transition needs mineral support that standard grow nutrients are too harsh to provide. CCS delivers the right elements at the right concentration to support root initiation without stressing unrooted tissue. Paired with Clonex Rooting Gel, which seals the cut site and delivers rooting hormone, CCS feeds the plant through the stem while roots establish, covering both sides of the propagation process for maximum clone survival. How to Use Mix at 5ml per litre of water. Soak your Rockwool cubes, Jiffy plugs, or perlite in the solution before inserting cuttings. Continue using as a light feed for young clones until they're ready for full-strength vegetative nutrients. Can also be applied as a diluted foliar spray to hydrate clones through their leaves during the rooting phase. Keep EC low and maintain 22 to 26°C with 70%+ humidity. CCS within these parameters gives you the best possible strike rate, consistently. CCS isn't just a nutrient, it's a survival system for your genetics. Use it every time you take cuttings and stop losing clones to preventable causes. Frequently Asked Questions What is the best environment for propagation? Cuttings and seedlings thrive at 22 to 26°C with high relative humidity of 80 to 95% in the first week, gradually reducing to 60 to 70% as roots develop. Bottom heat of 22 to 24°C at the root zone accelerates root development significantly. Avoid direct high-intensity light on fresh cuttings, use low-intensity LED or T5 lighting at this stage. Clonex Clone Solution (CCS) is designed to help maintain these conditions during the critical propagation window. How long does propagation take? Most fast-rooting varieties produce visible roots within 7 to 14 days. Harder-to-root genetics may take 3 to 4 weeks. Healthy cuttings taken from well-fed mother plants in vegetative growth root faster than cuttings from stressed or flowering plants. Using a rooting hormone such as Clonex Gel alongside Clonex Clone Solution (CCS) significantly improves rooting success rates and speed. Does Clonex Clone Solution (CCS) ship fast within Australia? Yes, Clonex Clone Solution (CCS) ships from within Australia with fast tracked delivery Australia-wide. Most east coast orders arrive within 2 to 5 business days. WA, NT, and TAS orders typically arrive within 5 to 12 business days.
