Start. By Shogun. 

When it comes to early-stage plant development, there’s a fine line between a thriving seedling and a limp apology for a root system.

Thankfully, SHOGUN Start is the kind of product that draws that line in thick, permanent ink. Engineered in Great Britain and backed by the steely-eyed scrutiny of Dr. Callie Seaman’s research team, SHOGUN Start doesn’t just nurture your young plants - it toughens them up for the fight ahead.

Whether you’re running a compact cupboard operation or a full-tilt commercial grow, this is your go-to formula for laying solid foundations.

For The Very Best Start In Life. 

Unlike the slapdash approach taken by some nutrient brands - who seem to think half-strength veg nutrients will do the trick - SHOGUN Start was built from the ground up for seedlings and cuttings. It doesn’t just dilute the big stuff. It recalibrates.

This is a full-service solution, with a balanced mix of macro and micro elements delivered at low enough concentrations to be gentle, but potent enough to actually make a difference.

And let’s be honest, when you’re dealing with delicate young plants, one overfeed can be the difference between robust roots and a horticultural funeral.

Promotes Healthy Rooting.

One of SHOGUN Start’s real tricks lies in its auxin management. These are the natural hormones responsible for root elongation and development.

SHOGUN Start actively promotes the transport of auxins from the leaf tips down to the rooting zone, where they trigger serious lateral and vertical root growth.

This means more fluffy white roots, better uptake, and a plant that’s ready to hit the ground running. And when paired with SHOGUN Katana Roots, you get a synergistic effect that turns your root zone into an underground metropolis.

Maximise Nutrient Uptake.

You’ll also find SmartZen in the mix - SHOGUN’s proprietary additive that increases chlorophyll production and maximises nutrient uptake.

This technology can add up to 8% more yield over conventional NPK feeding schedules, and while you’re not worried about harvest size in the propagation phase, you’ll still benefit from accelerated photosynthesis and stronger shoot development.

Plus, SmartZen is clinically proven to reduce transplant shock - something every grower dreads, especially when your prized cuttings have just made the leap into a new medium.

Turbocharged Nutrient Delivery. 

On the trace element front, SHOGUN Start brings calcium and boron into perfect balance. Calcium is critical for cell wall integrity and photosynthesis, while boron activates and mobilises that calcium where it’s needed.

Add in a strong dose of humic and fulvic acids, and you’ve got chelation of toxic metals, enhanced microbial activity, and a turbo-charged nutrient delivery system that feeds your plants with laser precision.

A New Gold Standard.

Application couldn’t be easier. Use SHOGUN Start to pre-soak propagation cubes, as a foliar spray, or as a root feed during the first two weeks of the vegetative cycle.

With a pH-friendly profile and an EC that won’t blow out your early-stage readings, it integrates seamlessly into hydroponic systems, coco, or soil. No fuss, no nonsense.

In summary, SHOGUN Start isn’t just a nutrient - it’s a strategy. It’s about giving your plants the best possible introduction to life in your grow room. If you want higher survival rates, faster rooting, and vigorous early growth, then SHOGUN Start is the only name you need to remember.
