What's YOUR recipe to get clones pumping after transplant?

I was curious if anyone wanted to share their basic recipe for clones that have taken root, mL/g. Not young plants where we all feed them our own concoctions of nutes, but just the little guys, or girls rather, then have just been transplanted after taking root. Personally I've always done extremely weak mixtures, like 1.5 mL of Botanicare grow and 1.5 mL of bloom per gallon (though recently I've switched to CNS17 for the added calcium since I use coco coir). I do this ratio in order to give the plant a little bit of focus in both realms, above soil and below. But I got thinking after looking at a batch of so-so'ers, that maybe I should throw a drop or two if superthrive for some of its hormones...I am just so cautious of the stuff so I save it for certain times. I've tried beefing up the PB grow, but it seems I generally end up getting a nitrogen overdose (talons) when I do that. Anyway, what products and how much of that product do people use to get clones pumping?

Fulvic acid, good call. I used to use Liquid Karma but switched to Nirvana, though now I'm thinking LK would handle the fulvic acid department better. Anybody swear by epsom salts (magnesium sulfate, or products like botanicare's Sweet) at this earlier stage to try to beef up metabolism?

I use CNS 17

After a clone takes root and I transplant it into medium I use Super Thrive... Super Thrive is awosome. I triple the dosage and have never had a problem.. I would not recommend using cal mag when the clones are small.. The roots are not going to be able to absorb as much as the super thrive... The super thrive is packed with all kinds of micro and macro nutrients but most important in has horomones... Auxins promote growth.. Causing your root mass to grow to keep up...
I also use zho from biotanicare.. It is a clay like powder.. It is full of fungi that will help root mass..
Thats what I would do...

I go from clone to flower...
