NextGen Rooting Gel is a rooting gel without synthetic growth hormones , designed to promote healthy and vigorous root development on cuttings. Its formula works thanks to a natural rooting precursor and is very easy to apply.
A more extensive and developed root system means more roots, longer roots, and an increased number of root hairs . These root hairs play an important role in absorption and exchange at the substrate level.
NextGen Rooting Gel is designed to support this start by assisting the natural processes of the cutting during root formation.
Format: 150 ml bottle.
GrowLED tip (hygiene): Never put a cutting back into the bottle. Always work with a small amount poured into a clean container, then discard the rest after use.
At GrowLED, we first advise based on your growing method and philosophy. Here's the main difference, without the fluff :
| Comparative point | Plagron NextGen Rooting Gel | Clonex (rooting gel) |
|---|---|---|
| Nature of the product | Biostimulant (not a fertilizer) | Auxin-based gel (growth hormone IBA ) – depending on version/strength |
| Growth hormones | No synthetic growth hormones | Yes : IBA, with several concentrations depending on the color (e.g. 1.5 g/L, 3.0 g/L, 8.0 g/L) |
| Philosophy | Supports the plant's natural processes during root formation | Delivers a growth hormone to the cutting point (IBA) |
| Application | Pour into a clean container, soak, then plant | The manufacturer also recommends decanting in a clean container and discarding the excess. |
How to choose?
• If you are looking for a hormone-free gel: NextGen Rooting Gel.
• If you are looking for an IBA-based “hormonal” product (with strengths/colors): Clonex.
No. It's a biostimulant : it doesn't directly provide nutrients, it supports root development.
A hormonal product relies on synthetic growth hormones . NextGen Rooting Gel is hormone-free and works by supporting the plant's natural processes.
Only the base, about 2 to 3 cm (area where the roots need to form).
For optimal hygiene: no . Pour a small amount into a clean container to avoid contaminating the bottle.
If you want a clean and even start: prepare your space (clean tools, clean container), work quickly after harvesting, and use a suitable growing medium ( NextGen Growplugs are designed for this). If you're hesitating between a hormone-free gel and an IBA-based gel, tell us your plant type, your substrate (plug/coco/soil/rockwool), and your growing conditions (temperature/humidity): we'll guide you toward the most suitable solution.
