- Page 8 How to clone with your Power Cloner What you’ll need: Healthy Plant Cloning Solution (Botanicare Power Clone Solution provided) ® pH meter pH adjuster Scalpel or shears Purified water 1. Prepare reservoir • Fill reservoir with water above pump but below manifold. • Add rooting solution (Power Clone Solution @ 30 ml/gal) stir. manifold • Add AquaShield (optional) 10 ml/gal stir. water line • Test pH of solution. Ideal pH is 5.8-6.3.
- Page 9 • Remove excess foliage from your cuttings to help reduce wilting from transpiration and direct the plants energy to root development. • Trim the stem of the cutting at a 45 degree angle to increase surface area for rooting. • If taking multiple cuttings, store the cuttings in purified water until ready to transplant into your Power Cloner.
- Page 10 ® ROOTS rhizosphere root inoculant ZHO is a unique, proprietary blend of mycorrhizae and trichoderma fungi that builds a natural microbial system in and around plant roots which greatly improves plant and root growth, vigor, and production naturally. Unlike other rhizosphere inoculants ZHO contains special amino acids designed to intensify the rhizobial activity that ZHO ignites. Benefits: Usage: • Improves rooting. • Seedlings. • Improves soil structure. • Transplanting in coco, soil and hydroponic applications. • Increases nutrient uptake. • Increases root mass.
- Page 11 AQUASHIELD ® ROOTS liquid compost solution AquaShield can be used throughout a plants life cycle in soil gardens, and in hydrogardens to create a natural and beneficial growing environment. AquaShield will assist in strengthening your clones’ root masses and offers the best chance of survival when transplanting. AquaShield also helps mature plants to maintain a healthy root zone for optimum plant performance. Benefits: Usage: • Assists in strengthening your • Hydroponic systems Aeroponics, clones’ root masses.

- Page 13 LIQUID KARMA 0.1-0.1-0.5 ® PLANT SUPPLEMENTS all-natural plant growth stimulant Formulated by a Ph.D. Plant Physiologist Liquid Karma represents a significant breakthrough in plant nutrition because it contains a full complement of metabolically active and organic compounds not found in regular plant foods or supplements. These unique compounds are absorbed immediately and act as regulatory signals, activators or catalysts to produce synchronized and accelerated growth under all conditions. Liquid Karma functions as a plant engine because its high metabolic activity produces a large amount of energy which is immediately transformed to growth. Benefits: • Larger fruits, vegetables, flowers. • Higher yields. • Healthy rooting of cuttings. • Increased metabolic rates. • Protection from transplant shock. 5 GAL 19 L 2.5 GAL 1 GAL 1 QT 9.5 L 3.8 L 960 ML All dosages in milliliters per gallon (4 L) of water Light Hours...
