Node 1: Rooting Hormone Applied

This is the oldest (but not by much) of the three nodes shown which has had CloneX gel applied. Notice not only the strong main tap root, but also the high degree of lateral roots that are formed. This creates a high surface area which can help increase nutrient and water absorption.

It is the fine root hairs that are the most efficient at absorption so the high degree of branching helps provide more fine roots that can lead to more root hairs to help make the plant more efficient.
