Clonex IS Plant Propagation by Nicco Reggente If you have any experience in the plant propagation industry, then you are probably familiar with Growth Technology’s flagship product: Clonex Rooting Gel. Just one year later, HDI introduced MotherPlant: a line of bio-organic nutrients, packed with lab grade minerals, specially formulated for strengthening the immunity of stock plants toward environmental stress. Recognizing the effectiveness and safety of Clonex Rooting Gel, the Environmental Protection Agency approved the product in 2013 for use on all food crops, including medicinal plants, in all 50 states, plus Washington DC and Puerto Rico. “Clonex Rooting Gel, is the only rooting gel approved by the Colorado and Washington Dept. of Agriculture for propagating medical marijuana plants.” Manufactured under strict pharmaceutical laboratory conditions, Clonex Rooting Gel contains a unique blend of hormones, anti-fungal agents, vitamins, and minerals in a highly tenacious and stabilized gel base. In the same year, Clonex Mist an all-natural hormonefree root stimulator was introduced and immediately demonstrated its capacity to initiate and support dynamic rooting on stem cuttings. Hydrodynamics International (HDI), the company who formed a joint-venture with Growth Technology to spearhead North American distribution, helped make Clonex Rooting Gel the first choice for thousands of plant nurseries, commercial growers, scientists, and greenhouse growers around the world. HDI also distributes the single-part Ionic® nutrient line along with popular products under the Europonic brand including Nitrozime®, Fossil Fuel® and Silicate® which have become staples for growers throughout North America. “Since 1988, Clonex Rooting Gel has been responsible for the successful rooting of billions of clones.” Intimately familiar with the needs of growers on an international scale, HDI identified the demand for a nutrient specially formulated for clones and seedlings. Growth Technology’s Chief Chemist, Carl Barry, was on it. In 2001, they released Clonex Clone Solution – a vitamin and mineral rich formula that encourages rapid root development and minimizes grow stress. In 2008, HDI continued to expand its line of propagation products by creating a propagation medium: Root Riot Plant Starter Cubes. Made from composted organic materials, these cubes are inoculated with micro nutrients and biologically active ingredients to help both cuttings and seeds develop vigorous roots. 38 WOAHSTORK EXPO EDITION With an incredible line of products, approval from the EPA, and an experienced staff of professionals, it’s no surprise that Hydrodynamics International is the recognized leader in plant propagation.
