ne aspect of marijuana plant nutrition that
is commonly overlooked by growers is root
stimulation and development. As the old
saying goes, “out of sight is out of mind”
and this couldn’t be truer for many cannabis growers.
After all, a grower rarely sees the root mass so it is
easy to neglect. However, the root mass of a cannabis
plant is the foundation for healthy plant growth, nutrient
uptake and structural integrity. When the root masses
of a marijuana crop are stimulated and kept healthy,
the plants will be less likely to experience pathogens
or slowed growth rates during times of stress, such as
excess heat.
With a hydroponic garden, healthy root masses are
imperative for nutrient uptake, but are also important to
keep the hydroponic system operating trouble-free. Root
problems in any type of hydroponic system or garden
will slow growth rates and decrease yields. Instead of

chasing his or her tail when it comes to the root health
of the marijuana plants, a horticulturist should be proac-
tive and include a powerful and effective root stimula-
tor in the garden’s nutrient regiment. One of the most
advanced and effective root stimulators on the market is

Regen-A-Root
Regen-A-Root is a hormone-free rooting additive de-
signed to promote and sustain healthy roots and new
root production. Regen-A-Root can be used from the
beginning to the end of a cannabis plant’s growing
cycle. Unlike hormone-based root additives, Regen-A-
Root enables the plant to control its own energy and
regulate the ratio between root cells and plant cells.
Artifi cial hormone-based stimulators interrupt this im-
portant natural process and can force the plant to put
energy into the root zone when it should be putting that
energy toward stem and leaf growth. In other words,
