there is no need for the bio bloom. the plant has to start producing undifferentiated cells first, that eventually turn into roots. think of undifferentiated cells as stem cells, they have the abilitiy to turn into many types of cells, roots being one type. once rooted you can use the bio bloom at 1/2 strenght as both phosphorus and potassium help in root development. once you transplant stop the bio bloom and go with the bio grow.

Yes!

The initial roots are tiny, and will break off easily. If you shake the stem too much it can damage the newly formed roots and set the plant back a couple days. So pulling it clean out!? :eek: That's going to simply remove the new roots, starving the plant, and giving you the false impression that it hasn't rooted yet! :o

yeah, what he ^^^ said. have patience, it will take you far in this game.
