Shogun Propagation Starter Pack - Katana Roots & Start Combo for Cuttings
Best for: growers taking cuttings or starting seedlings who want a simple two-bottle nutrient combo matched to the propagation stage.
Our thoughts
This is essentially Shogun's answer to the "what do I feed a cutting" question - two bottles, dosed for the propagation stage, and sized so you're not opening a full-size bottle for a couple of weeks' work. Simple, reliable feeding that gives your cuttings and seedlings everything they need for the best possible start.
The Shogun Propagation Starter Pack pairs two nutrients built specifically for the earliest, most fragile stage of a plant's life: Katana Roots, which promotes vigorous root development and helps guard against root disease such as Pythium, and Shogun Start, which supplies everything a cutting or seedling needs to establish itself. Together they're formulated to work across coco, soil and hydroponic growing media, giving your cuttings and seedlings the best possible start before they move on to full-strength feeding.
How it compares
It's a liquid nutrient combo rather than a gel or single all-in-one product.
- vs single-application gels (e.g. Root!t Rooting Gel): this is a two-part liquid feed dosed through water rather than applied directly to the cutting, suiting growers already on Shogun's main nutrient line
- vs opening full-size Shogun bottles: sized specifically for propagation-stage dosing, so you're not committing to a full bottle for a short growth phase
- vs jumping straight to veg-strength nutrients: dosed for the sensitive cutting/seedling stage rather than full-strength feed that can overwhelm young roots
In plain terms: a purpose-sized combo for the propagation window, not a scaled-down version of something meant for later stages.
Usage guidance
Dosing
Follow the feed chart included with the pack - propagation-stage doses are diluted well below normal veg strength.
Media compatibility
Works across coco, soil and hydroponic setups.
When to use
From taking the cutting or sowing the seed through to first true leaves and root establishment.
Switching over
Move onto full-strength Shogun veg nutrients once cuttings or seedlings are rooted and growing away strongly.

Our take
It's a small, practical starter pack that removes the guesswork of what to feed a cutting or seedling in its first couple of weeks. Katana Roots pushing root development alongside Start's general feeding covers the essentials without overcomplicating things.
Does exactly what it should, day in, day out. Worth grabbing alongside your next batch of cuttings.
