Description
Profs – Roots is a powerful, water-soluble powder tailored to the physiological needs of plants during the root-forming phase. In most crops, this occurs between week 2 and week 5 — a period in which the root system deepens, branches out, and structurally expands. During this phase, the plant demands specific nutrients that promote root tissue development, meristematic cell division, and activity in the root tips.
Roots is one of the four products in the Pro Powder line — a feeding program in which each product is targeted to a specific growth phase. Roots is focused exclusively on underground plant development and contains mainly those minerals that best support root physiology.
The formulation includes precisely balanced levels of phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and selected trace elements, in water-soluble and rapidly absorbable forms. Phosphorus is essential for the formation of new cell structures and ATP energy, making it indispensable during active root growth. Potassium stimulates cellular metabolism and the uptake of water and salts, while calcium ensures membrane stability and elongation of root tips. Magnesium and trace elements support enzymatic activity necessary for cell expansion and signal transmission.
Roots works quickly: when applied at the correct growth stage, it boosts root zone activity within just a few days. Independent crop trials have measured up to a 25% increase in root volume and mass after two weeks of use. Treated plants show a finer, more branched root system with more root hairs and significantly increased root pressure.
Due to strong root development, the uptake of water and nutrients improves, leading to more uniform vegetative growth, increased resilience, and a stable transition to later phases. In substrate cultivation, application of Roots often results in reduced EC fluctuations, as the plant absorbs minerals more consistently and efficiently.
Roots is fully water-soluble, free from ballast materials, and suitable for any irrigation system. It leaves no residues or deposits in lines or drippers. The formulation is stable, pH-neutral, and compatible with other Pro Powder products. Roots can be applied via fertigation or foliar spray, depending on the cultivation system and growing conditions.
The recommended dosage is 10 to 15 grams per 100 liters of water. For sensitive crops or young plants, it is advisable to start with a lower dose and increase as the root volume expands. In practice, visible root improvement can be seen within 5–7 days — a critical factor for strong and uniform crop growth.
Roots can also be used on its own to address specific root-related issues such as poor root formation, transplant shock, or underdeveloped plugs. However, it performs best when used in combination with Leaves, Balance, and Flowers as part of the complete Pro Powder program. This integrated approach creates a fully optimized feeding system tailored to every stage of plant development.
Growers using Roots report improved root pressure, more uniform water uptake, and reduced sensitivity to substrate stress. Its combination of rapid uptake, fast action, and high purity makes it suitable for a wide range of crops — from vegetables to ornamentals, and from open-field to closed recirculation systems.
Roots is also safe for soil biology, compatible with organic inputs, and poses no risk of salt build-up. This makes it an ideal solution for growers aiming for clean, controlled, and uptake-driven growth.
