Clone X is the best rooting hormone for me. It’s easy to use and hard to mess up. The effect is long term and it hasn’t killed any of the cutting.
Dip N grow is a bit more complex but is very good too if used correctly. The results are very fast too and I’ll tell you this -it’s worth the price. It’s so potent that if you mistakenly splash this on an area where you don’t want roots to come out, they will.
Lastly, my experience with the two has shown that Clone X even with it being slower rooting than D&G clone X makes fewer but nicer thick white roots. D&G IS LIKE Forrest Gump, you never know what you’ll get.
In Summary: Pick D&G for speed and use Clone X for quality.

Rooting hormone helps plant in developing roots on a cutting so that you can easily transplant it into the soil. It is a synthetic hormone that helps create root-like structures that are great for a plant during the rooting process.
We like this product for two reasons – the price comes at a steal compared to competing products. Second, the product is sold in a much larger size bottle than competitor products. You’ll enjoy a 95% more product.
