RootFast Atami – 100% Vegetable Root Stimulator for Explosive Growth

RootFast by Atami is the definitive 100% vegetable root stimulator designed to ensure your cannabis plants develop a massive, healthy, and resistant root system from the very first days of life, guaranteeing optimal nutrient absorption for the rest of the cycle.

Do you feel lost when starting a new crop?

We have all been there: you have your seeds germinated, your pots ready, but you are not entirely clear on the exact order of nutrients or when to start adding additives. That feeling of uncertainty during the first few weeks is common, and it often leads to hesitation about whether you are feeding your plants correctly or just pouring liquids blindly.

The consequences of this lack of guidance are usually visible a few weeks later: plants that grow slowly, weak stems, or root systems that don't colonize the pot. You might think the genetics are bad or the light isn't enough, but in reality, the problem was a weak foundation. Without a solid root system, your plant simply cannot eat, drink, or grow as it should, limiting your final harvest before you even see the first flower.

RootFast by Atami is not just a product; it is the key to a clear and safe start. By following a simple phase-based path, this stimulator ensures that you are building the engine of your plant correctly. Forget about improvising; here is the step-by-step guide to turning those seedlings into monsters.

Phase 1: Preparing the ground

Before opening the bottle, you need to ensure the environment is ready. The roots are the most sensitive part of the plant, especially in the first few days. If the water parameters are wrong, no stimulator can save you. You need to be precise here to maximize the effect of the phosphorus in RootFast.

• Check your water quality: Ensure the starting water is clean and at a temperature of around 20-22°C. Cold water shocks the roots.
• Adjust the pH: For the roots to absorb this stimulator, the pH should be between 6.0 and 6.5. You can use Milwaukee measuring instruments to be exact and avoid burning your seedlings.
• Shake the bottle: Since it is a vegetable-based product, sediments can settle at the bottom. Give it a good shake to mix the active ingredients.

Phase 2: Setting up the product

Now that your water is ready, it's time to prepare the nutrient mix. RootFast is highly concentrated, so you don't need to go crazy with the dosage. It is designed to work in synergy with your base nutrients, not to replace them.

1. Measure the dose: The manufacturer recommends 1 ml per liter of water. Use a pipette or measuring cup; don't eyeball it.
2. Mix with base nutrients: Add your base fertilizer first (like ATA Awa Leaves A+B by Atami if you are in hydro) and then add RootFast.
3. Stir well: Ensure the solution is homogeneous before watering.
4. Check EC: Since it's early growth, keep your Electro-Conductivity (EC) low to avoid nutrient burn.

Phase 3: Use / growing step by step

This is where the magic happens. You will apply this solution during the most critical moments of the plant's life: the first two weeks and after any stress event like transplanting.

1. Start early: Begin using it as soon as the first true leaves appear and the plant has established itself in the medium.
2. Watering routine: Water your plants with the RootFast mix daily or every other day, depending on how fast your Soil For Cannabis dries out.
3. Transplanting: If you move the plant to a larger pot, use RootFast for the next 3 waterings to reduce transplant shock.
4. Observe the growth: You should see white, fuzzy roots poking through the drainage holes or the bottom of the Jiffy plug.
5. Monitor health: Healthy roots mean green, perky leaves. If leaves turn yellow or droop, check your watering frequency (you might be overwatering).
6. Stop usage: Once the flowering stage begins and the root ball is fully formed, you can stop using RootFast and switch to bloom stimulators.

Phase 4: Closing, maintenance and learnings

Once you have finished the growth cycle or the bottle, it's important to store it correctly. Being 100% vegetable, it can degrade if left in the sun. Keep it in a cool, dark place to preserve its NPK (0-5-0) properties for the next crop.

Take note of how your plants reacted. Did they colonize the pot faster than usual? Did they show less stress after transplanting? These details help you fine-tune your dosage for the next run. Remember, a plant with a massive root system will drink more water and demand more food later on, so be ready to increase your feeding schedule in the flowering phase.

Advantages of following this flow instead of improvising

• More consistency: You ensure every plant gets the exact same start, leading to an even canopy.
• Fewer silly mistakes: By measuring and adjusting pH first, you avoid nutrient lockouts that stunt growth.
• More control over results: You know exactly why your plants are thriving (it's the roots!).
• Disease resistance: A strong root system naturally fights off Pythium and other root rot fungi better than a weak one.
• Vegetable safety: Being organic-based, it's harder to burn your plants compared to harsh mineral boosters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use RootFast in hydroponic systems?

Yes, absolutely. RootFast is suitable for soil, coco coir, and hydroponic systems. Just make sure to monitor your reservoir to prevent organic buildup.

Can I mix it with other root stimulators?

It is not recommended. RootFast is powerful enough on its own. Mixing multiple root boosters can lead to an excess of phosphorus or conflicting ingredients that might harm the plant.

What happens if I use it during flowering?

It won't hurt the plant, but it's unnecessary. During flowering, the plant focuses energy on buds, not roots. You would be wasting product. Stop using it after the second week of flowering at the latest.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I organize my "root phase" very strictly: the first 15 days are sacred for RootFast. I've made the mistake in the past of thinking "it's just a weed, it'll grow," only to find my plants stalled after a transplant. Now, I never skip it. I prepare my mix, adjust the pH to 6.2, and soak the medium before putting the seedling in.

One thing I learned the hard way: don't let the mixed water sit for days. Since RootFast is vegetable-based, it can spoil if left in a tank for too long without circulation. I mix what I need for the day, apply it, and the results speak for themselves—when I flip to flower, those pots are practically bursting with roots.
