A root booster.
Built to work with IONIC.

IONIC Root Boost stimulates root development, improves nutrient absorption, and protects young plants from transplant shock. Use it through propagation and the first weeks of veg. Then put it down.

01
Stronger roots.

Stimulates root growth at the cellular level. Visible mass in 10 to 14 days.

02
Better uptake.

A larger root system absorbs more of what you're already feeding. Less waste.

03
Less shock.

Cuttings and seedlings settle into new media without the usual two-week stall.

Three steps. That's it.

The rest of IONIC.

Each nutrient is tuned to its medium. Each does its job on its own. No charts. No add-ons.

Things growers ask us.

Will it work with my existing IONIC nutrients? +

Yes. It's designed to. Mix Root Boost into your normal IONIC feed at 1ml per litre. No separate watering, no recalibration, no new charts to stick on the wall.

What if I'm using non-IONIC nutrients? +

Root Boost will still stimulate root growth. The formulation is stable across most common feed lines, but for the best results we'd recommend pairing it with IONIC.

How long should I use it for? +

Through propagation, seedling, and the first few weeks of veg. After that the root system is established and you can step back to IONIC alone.

Will I need to adjust pH after adding it? +

Unlikely. Root Boost is engineered to a stable pH. In most setups the pH of your feed won't shift meaningfully when you add it.

Is it suitable for hydroponic systems? +

Yes. Soil, coco and hydroponic. The formulation behaves consistently across media.

Where is it made? +

At our facility in Taunton, Somerset. Every batch is tested before it leaves the building.
