Fastest, Strongest Root Growth

Cuttings ready to transplant in just 10-14 days! The unique environment in an X-Stream aeroponic propagator results in incredible root development and plants that are ready for transplanting sooner than ever.

How The X-Stream Propagator Works

The X-Stream is an aeroponic propagator. Cuttings are placed in mesh pots using neoprene clone collars, the pots are then suspended inside a misting chamber and the stems of the cuttings are constantly sprayed with a mist of nutrient solution.

The constant supply of nutrient, water and oxygen, combined with the lack of restrictive growing medium, encourages roots to develop rapidly as they ‘push out’ to access the nutrient solution.

Heat and humidity are fully controllable by gradually opening the large
butterfly vents in the X-Stream propagator lid.

Why the X-Stream produces great results

• Unrestricted aeroponic root development.
• Optimum heat and humidity.
• Sterile root zone and low risk of disease.

The benefits of the X-Stream propagator

• Faster

  The fastest root development possible – allows growers to start their crop earlier.

• Stronger

  Cuttings have stronger, thicker roots and the lack of growing medium means less risk of pests and disease.

• Control

  Control heat and humidity to suit the specific growing environment.

• Practical

  Check progress without disturbing plants, easy access to pump and nutrient solution.

• Flexible

  Suitable for transplanting to any growing medium or growing system.

X-Stream Hints and Tips

Golden Rule: When cuttings go into the system, fill the tank with water and leave the pump on 24/7. Constant access to water and oxygen encourages the cutting to root quickly. When roots begin to show add nutrient at a quarter of the manufacturers recommended dosage.

• Once roots begin to show, open the vents slightly. Gradually increase the opening every day and remove the lid completely to harden off for a couple of days before transplanting on.

• Rooting gels and powder can still be used and cross sold with the X-Stream. When the cutting is dipped, all active ingredients are absorbed immediately and will not be washed off by the misting.

• Cuttings are ready to transplant into soil or coco when roots begin to poke through the mesh pot. Pot on into 3” or 4” pots and grow on for a few days before transplanting on to larger pots.

• To transplant cuttings into rockwool cubes:

• Either; remove from the X-Stream when roots begin to poke through the mesh pot. Sandwich the cutting between two halves of a Grodan SBS cube, Jiffy 7C or a few Grodan Grow Cubes and place into a 3” or 4” cube. Allow to grow on until the larger cube is root bound, then transplant.

• Or; remove when roots have grown 3” to 4” out of the mesh pot. Punch a hole in the bottom of a 3” or 4“ Grodan cube, and place the cutting and mesh pot into the cube, allowing the roots to trail through the punched hole. Transplant immediately.
