Mills Start

Get cuttings and seedlings rooting hard from day one

Mills Start-R is a bio-stimulant built for the earliest life stages of a plant, pairing a highly available form of nitrogen with Mills' own bio-stimulant blend to drive root development, plant vitality and recovery when transplanting. It works across most growing substrates and watering systems, making it an easy addition to any propagation routine for rooted seedlings, fresh cuttings and plants in early vegetative growth.

Key Benefits

• Strong, vigorous roots - acts as an explosive root stimulant to establish young plants quickly.
• Enhanced nutrient uptake - a developing root system takes up feed more readily from the start.
• Improved vitality and growth - keeps early growth steady rather than stalled.
• Faster transplant recovery - eases the stress of moving plants between stages or containers.

Why do young plants stall after transplanting?

Cuttings and seedlings that are slow to establish roots usually show transplant shock, stress sensitivity and poor early nutrient uptake, setting growth back before it has really begun. Start-R is timed for exactly this window, using its nitrogen source and bio-stimulants to support root growth and vitality from the rooted cutting stage onward.

How to Use

• All substrates and systems: 1ml per litre of nutrient solution.
• When to use: from rooted seedlings and cuttings, through vegetative growth, and into the first 2 weeks of the bloom cycle.
• Tip: apply at every feed during early development for consistent root drive; compatible with most base nutrients.
