Clonex Clone Solution – Gallon

Clonex® Clone Solution is a clone-specific liquid nutrient formulated with a special blend of minerals and supportive ingredients. It is designed to be used alongside Clonex® gel and other rooting agents during the cloning process, helping cuttings establish roots while reducing the stress associated with propagation. It can be applied directly to the rooting medium as a drench or sprayed over the young clones as a foliar application.

Why Choose Clonex Clone Solution

Clonex Clone Solution addresses a specific and often overlooked window in plant propagation: the period between taking a cutting and the moment roots are established enough for the clone to support itself. Standard base nutrients are formulated for established root systems and can be too aggressive for fragile new cuttings. Clonex Clone Solution is engineered specifically for this early stage.

• Clone-specific mineral blend: The nutrient profile is formulated for cuttings rather than established plants, providing minerals appropriate to the propagation phase without overwhelming vulnerable tissue.
• Stress reduction during propagation: According to the manufacturer, the solution is formulated to help minimize stress during the cloning process — a common cause of clone failure, particularly in warm or low-humidity environments.
• Dual application flexibility: It can be watered into the rooting medium or sprayed directly on the foliage of young clones, giving growers two delivery routes depending on their propagation setup.
• Works with Clonex gel: Designed to complement Clonex® rooting gel and other rooting agents already used in the cloning workflow, allowing growers to keep a consistent product family through propagation.
• Gallon format for production-scale use: The 1-gallon size is practical for growers taking large numbers of cuttings per cycle, reducing the per-application cost compared to smaller formats.

Best Uses for Clonex Clone Solution

Clonex Clone Solution is intended for the propagation stage only. It is not a general-purpose grow nutrient. The following use cases reflect how it is best applied based on the product description and category (Nutrients & Additives > Additives > Roots).

• Cloning trays and propagation domes: Apply as a root-zone drench to rockwool cubes, rapid rooters, or other propagation media where cuttings are being rooted under a humidity dome.
• Aeroponic cloners: Can be added at low concentration to the reservoir of aeroponic cloning systems where mist is continuously applied to the base of cuttings.
• Foliar misting young clones: Spray diluted solution directly on clone leaves during the pre-root phase when the cutting cannot yet uptake water through a root system.
• Alongside rooting gels and powders: Pair with Clonex® gel applied to the cut stem — the solution feeds the cutting from the medium while the gel seals and stimulates the stem wound.
• Commercial propagation facilities: The gallon size makes it practical for clone-production operations running continuous cut cycles, where small-format bottles would require frequent restocking.
• Transitional feeding before transplant: Use during the final days before rooted clones are transplanted into their main grow medium, bridging the gap between propagation and vegetative feeding programs. If you are also running a root-supporting additive such as Heavy 16 Roots in your reservoir, introduce that product after transplant once the root system is established.

Compatibility

Clonex Clone Solution is designed for use during the propagation phase and is compatible with the rooting media and environments most commonly used in controlled-environment horticulture.

• Rooting media: Rockwool, rapid rooters, peat plugs, coco coir propagation blocks, and other inert or low-nutrient cloning substrates.
• Cloning systems: Propagation trays, humidity domes, and aeroponic cloning machines where mist or drench delivery is used.
• Rooting agents: Compatible with Clonex® rooting gel and other rooting gels, powders, or liquids. The solution is applied to the medium or foliage; rooting agents are applied to the cut stem — these are separate applications and do not interfere with each other.
• Water sources: Suitable for use with RO water, well-adjusted tap water, or any water source with baseline mineral content appropriate for cloning (low EC starting point recommended).
• Supplemental root additives: For growers who add root-stimulating products like Advanced Nutrients Tarantula to their cloning program, Clonex Clone Solution provides the mineral base while microbial inoculants work on root colonization simultaneously.
