Bottom heat of 22–24°C at the root zone accelerates root development significantly. Avoid direct high-intensity light on fresh cuttings — use low-intensity LED or T5 lighting at this stage. Clonex Clone Solution (CCS) is designed to help maintain these conditions during the critical propagation window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does propagation take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost fast-rooting varieties produce visible roots within 7–14 days. Harder-to-root genetics may take 3–4 weeks. Healthy cuttings taken from well-fed mother plants in vegetative growth root faster than cuttings from stressed or flowering plants. Using a rooting hormone such as Clonex Gel alongside Clonex Clone Solution (CCS) significantly improves rooting success rates and speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes Clonex Clone Solution (CCS) ship fast within Australia?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Clonex Clone Solution (CCS) ships from our Australian warehouse with fast tracked delivery Australia-wide.
