Dosages before transplanting

As you already know, transplant is a stress that should be minimized so your plants don't suffer and recover their growth ratio as soon as possible. In addition, Stack increases vigor of plants so it will be double benefit to use it.
According to this aspect, it can be useful to treat your root system with Stack before proceeding to transplant. You can do it following 2 different methods (and a 3rd one that we'll share with you for free as a tip):
- Prepare a solution with a dose of 0,5 ml/L of Stack and drench roots in the solution for 30-60 seconds before transplanting.
- Once the transplant has been done, proceed with plant irrigation with a solution of 0,5 ml/L of Stack.
Tip from an expert grower: Probably most of you would have done it anyway but we like to share with you how we do things. In this case proceed with the first method, and then use the solution you prepared to irrigate plants after transplanting. This way roots not only get in direct contact with the solution, but they also get more from that solution uptaking it from growing medium.
