For Plants
Strike
Roots that take hold, clones that settle in.
The moment a cutting is taken, it has no roots and no margin for error. Strike is built for exactly that window: it supports the formation of new roots and helps a clone move from cut stem to established plant with less stall and less shock.
Applied as a dilute mist or drench, it conditions the root zone so emerging roots have minerals, signals, and a vigorous foundation to grow into. Tissue that is building roots is tissue under demand, and the blend leans into that demand with structure-building and vigor botanicals.
The result growers look for is faster, fuller take on cuttings and clones, and young plants that establish in their medium ready to grow on.

How it works
The science of Strike
Not buzzwords — the actual biology of the plants in this formula: their compounds, the targets those compounds are measured to engage, and the systems they nourish.
Bladderwrack is a brown sea vegetable in the kelp tradition, the same family of seaweeds growers have reached for as a rooting and transplant aid; it carries trace minerals and natural plant-signaling compounds that support root initiation and early vigor. Eucommia bark and rehmannia root contribute a structure-and-foundation character drawn from East Asian herbal tradition, fitting for tissue that is laying down its first framework of roots.
Astragalus and cordyceps add vigor and root-zone vitality, while ginger root brings warming circulation to the medium. Together the blend is formulated to condition the propagation environment and support the plant's own root-forming process — a biostimulant for the establish phase, not a fertilizer dump.
The molecules, measured
A formula is a community of compounds. Below are active molecules from the herbs in this blend and the proteins each is measured to engage — the precise points where the plants meet biology. So you see not just that it works, but how.

In practice
Who it’s for, and how to use it
Who it’s for
For growers taking cuttings, rooting clones, or potting up fresh starts who want stronger, faster establishment. Use through the propagation and early-transplant phase, then move plants onto your normal grow feed.
How to use it
Dilute 1/8 to 1/4 tsp per gallon and apply as a light foliar mist over cuttings or a gentle soil drench around newly potted clones, repeating through the rooting window.
