I have two strains that will show roots that quickly, the rest take at least five days, some seven. Both of those products are hormone based, and biologically active. They form a protective membrane around the root surface keeping pathogens out. I use it when transplanting my veg plants, and I get ridiculous root growth using either one. Seriously, I recommend them if you can't tell. Regardless of current success, they can only help.I've had roots in 3 days....pics in my thread to show it.
I dont think those items would work well enough in a clone machine with warm water (80 or higher especially) Also I beleive they dont really work/help until there are roots showing. Another thing people need to know about them is you need to use water without chorline in it at all or you wil just kill everything you paid so much $$ for.
I am with Serepis, I bought a $5 bag of pool shock and it will treat about 200,000 gals of water. Easy to work with compared to plain bleach, keeps the res clean and sterile and you get great results with clones. The other products mentioned cost a fortune and really dont offer better results or even as good under some circumstances. $70 to treat 250 gallons or $5 to treat 200,000 gallons... easy choice for me. They are great products with redicules prices to match
The pool shock I am using is EXACTLY the same thing EZ Clone Clear Rez is too and they charge a moderate $20 per quart 
I hate how these companies rip us off.....

I have great success, and my temps are between 76-80 degrees pretty consistently. I don't use Roots Excelurator anymore because of the cost, I've switched to GH Rapid Start which is half the cost. Still pretty expensive but like I said, I get great results.I dont think those items would work well enough in a clone machine with warm water (80 or higher especially) Also I beleive they dont really work/help until there are roots showing.

I was looking at the GH one, didnt realize it was half the price. Glad to hear it is working great for you. What else are you doing to keep the bad stuff at bay ? Are you in a clone machine ?

Hi beans I just got cloning down but I failed a gazillion times before. What worked for me was an aero cloner and plain PH'd water. You can add a little Super Thrive and H2O2 at half recommended dosage like I did, or keep it as simple as you can. Just replace water every week. Good luck man

I also read that giving your mothers food 2 hrs prior to cloneing will help speed things up
some strains will root faster i have afganistankush and it seems to take min 20 days to have a strong healthy clone then i just cloned some pure power and within 4 days it was rooted enough to transplant i was fckin amazed let me tell you
