Looking at the minimal product chemistry they provide, I don't see much beyond a fertilizer once it starts breaking down in your growing medium.

Hey guys. Can anyone with experience with root stimulator's tell me when I should start using it? Im waiting until the beginning of week 2 for nutrients but would using a root stimulator help at this stage? My seedlings are only 3 days old.
Heres the product I have

If you can get your hands on fresh aloe, it is a known quantity. I use it exclusively for cloning and watering in veg/flower. Fresh filets would be ideal, but you can source freeze dried powder online or in certain stores.

Honestly I have had just as good of results as using a root stimulator as without using one in a variety of mediums, aero-cloner, bubble cloning, rw, sure to grow, pumice, perlite, etc.

I have even used fresh raw honey with good results and many an ole' school gardener will swear by it. :peace:

Canna Rhizotonic.
First feed 4ml per litre.
I make a 10L bucket of EC0.6, pH 5.5-5.9 to soak rockwool cubes in.
When cubes are removed I use the soak mixture as the cuttings feed solution.
This 10L batch is the first time that I use Rhizo at 4ml per litre.
When cuttings have rooted an they are TP'd to pots
they then go onto a Wilma.
I make a 30lt mix of EC0.6 to 0.8 mix for the reservoir.
This is the 2nd and last time that I use a 4ml per litre of Rhizotonic.

2nd feed to 3rd week flower 2ml per litre.
Every batch mixed for Wilma res has 2ml per litre of Rhizotonic.

3rd week of flower to end of harvest - 0.5ml per litre.

If u create a good growing environment for ur plant root stimulators are hardly necessary. I looked at the product info but it's all in French and I'm a little rusty

Wait until the plant is around 6 inches tall and then give it a dose of cold processed seaweed extract, crazy how well the stuff works! I don't usually buy products like the one you have because you are usually paying for the brand more than anything, but I'd assume you should do the same.
