Roots Excelurator is advertised to immediately provide explosive root growth and rid the plant of any brown roots. It works by forming a membrane around roots and protecting them from harmful bacteria and fungus. Roots Excelurator will not only protect your plants from harmful root disease, but it will also cure existing cases of root rot.
I was sold after seeing Big Mike the owner of Advanded Nutrients (a competitor of House & Garden) sayings its the best product on the market.:clap:
Well, for my fellow farmers as I will be doing some real life comparisons to see if its hype or the real deal using the following products.
Roots excel, Zone, HydroFungicide, h202, Great White, SM90, EWC tea & Aquashield

I will be posting up the results here for my fellow farmers, but to date nothing I have seen even remotely compares with the root growth generated by Roots Excel, my friends last grow the roots freaking exploded after dosing with the RE.(lets see If I have the same results)

I hit up the owners of House & Garden to ask about using Roots excel with other products, they gave me this tidbit of info.
"I would also like to say that it is the position of House & Garden that H2O2 (or other similar products) and Roots Excelurator are NOT COMPATIBLE." (Rob Stroner)

So there you have it, do not use this product with other sterilizers on the market.

Its a good product, no miracle potion though. I would not use this product in Hydro as it smears everything in a poop smelling goo. I have found it very beneficial in Hydro when trying to deal with an outbreak of pythium though.
The stuff rocks in soil for sure as the bacteria can really thrive. I found the reccomened dosage to be too high in both hydro and soil and cut it back to half doses at the reccomended interval. Odviously H202 cant be used as it is a microbe based product, I wouldnt even use tap water as the chlorine is going to kill a massive amount of the product pretty quick.

I no longer use this product for anything other than emergency root rot (pythium) outbreaks. H202 and chlorinated tap water just makes my hydro system clean as a whistle, the roots shining white and my plants happier than a clam.

I don't know, why wouldn't AN just improve their own formula, instead of come out giving this seemingly fake concessions? Why? because imo they like you buying hyped up expensive products lol and to try to win over all of H&G normal customers

AN actually took their similar root zone product off the market, that quickstart or whatever it was called,
hey what up square(good to see you;-)), will you vouch for Ben Derdundat plants for these unlucky cats who don't know. :lol:

Im not advertising anything lil homie. I have never even used RE, maybe you should do mo readin and less typing Mr.12watt cfl grower.

( I mean that in the nicest way possible)
+rep though for that avatar, I like you already!

Yesterday I saw a grower(never grown once in his life) telling someone its perfectly fine to smoke a pesticide.:dunce:
Seems like the folks who are most outspoken on RIU are the CFL/Flashlight growers and the poop and pee users.

Yes it is a bit pricey, I will post lots of pictures and do several tests to see if its hype or the real dizzle for shizzle.
RE might not even make it to round two of my testing.
As of right now my two fav products are SM90 and H202

hey Mary. I see your posts all over, icmag heath robinson thread, farm, lol. Keep it up, I like your projects I think we have a similar thinking mindset trying to discern bullshit, from fact, and make progress in growing community. Will be watching your tests.

Thanks buddy~ I stop in quite a few places to read and looks like you do too. bongsmilie

I got two sour diesels that are exactly the same size and very similar root masses for the first test.

Canna Aqua + Roots Exceluratorl

Vs

Canna Aqua + Sm90

Since I have read some info stating chloramines stay in much longer than traditional chlorine,
I actively aerated my tap water for 10 days to ensure the RE is not damaged.(as RE is a beneficial), both buckets are the same, cleaned the same way, same hydro clay, etc.
The tests were to be conducted on three pairs of plants (6 plants total)during the initial testing.) In each test if any plant was noticably better in any way that plant was doses with sm90, and the RE is being dosed with the smaller plant, in the next round of testing it will be reversed, my logic being if roots excel is the best even when competing with a clone off to a better start it should end up out performing the other one.




So in the first picture is white urkle(2)~ was put in the hydro clay (feb 16th), this was the smaller stature clone with a smaller root mass this is the plant getting dosed with roots excel @1ml per gallon.


The second white urkle (2) clone also transplanted on the 16th is receiving sm90 at 2ml per gallon. this was the larger clone of the two both in stature and root mass.





Here are the 2 sour queens, they were transplanted from the aero cloner on the 16th as well.
The sour queens are also receiving the same 1ml roots excel/ 2ml sm90 dose per gallon.

the two clones are extermely similar, the better looking clone of the two is getting the SM90.

(sm90)



(Roots excel)



This is the larger plant of the two large white urkels(1) that I started my origial test on,
(It was actually the smaller plant of the two until I dosed it with the roots excel, it was also receiving the same dosage of re 1ml / sm90 2ml. )



I gave away one of the white urkel(1) to a friend who gave me some clones including the white urkle(2).


The white urkle(1) which was doesed with RE developed a much larger root mass and grew up top much faster as well, that is the plant I kept, so far I have been very impressed with Roots excel in my first experiment, sorry i should have snapped some pictures of the two root zones for coparison, (wasn't planning on giving away any plants, my buddy just showed up out of the blue with cuttings for me, so I gave him some stuff as well.)




I will also be testing canna aqua

vs house and garden.

first up ill do simply base nutrient against base nutrient, and then go from there.

I will also be testing several of the commerical cloning units currently available,


I got a lot of things popping but I promise not to leave you guys hanging.

I have been using RE for my first grow. I have nothing to compare it to, but I think it's pretty awesome. These were taken at 28 days in my aero pots. The pics don't do it justice, but they're 2 feet long with a cantelope sized ball at the bottom.

At nearly $80 for the bottle, I hope mary's test proves I'm not a sucker for buying it.
