There is no greater shame than harvesting a beautiful crop, only to have it dried, stale and tasteless, soft, squishy, and smelling of hay. The look of growers during this revelation is daunting. Some may be indifferent about the result, saying, “oh, well, it’s not that bad”, while others’ disappointment can only be measured by the critical scowl following the ol’ squeeze and sniff technique. While environmental issues are largely responsible for the texture and rigidity of cannabis flowers, there are several supplements that growers can rely on to provide them with sugar-coated buds, teaming with overpowering and pungent aromas. Below, we’ll discuss common terpene and flavonoid compounds, followed by three simple ways to enhance the smell and taste of your crop.
Why Do Cannabis Plants Smell?
Cannabis plants encompass some of the world’s most interesting and complex aromas. But makes cannabis plants smell? Well, here’s the answer: cannabis flowers’ unique flavours and aromas are governed by a combination of special hydrocarbons called terpenes. Existing in over 30,000 forms, terpenes are responsible for determining the unique aroma and taste of a variety of flora including, lavender, rosemary, basil, and of course, cannabis.
A wide spectrum of terpenes can be found throughout the industry’s most popular genetics. However, much like naturally occurring fruit and flowers in our environment, terpenes can do more than just produce pleasant smells – they can also perpetuate feelings of well-being, promote energy, or induce relaxation and meditation.

Enhance the Smell and Taste of Cannabis with 3 Simple Supplements
The majority of cannabis terpenes, flavonoids, and cannabinoids are held within the trichomes heads of marijuana flowers. So, if you’re looking to enhance the smell and taste of your cannabis plants, start by increasing the size and density of your trichomes. Below are three supplements from GreenPlanet Nutrients that can be included alongside any base nutrient program to enhance the smell and taste of cannabis.
Rezin
Bring fire to your crop with GreenPlanet’s trichome, flavour, and aroma enhancer. Formulated with trace amounts of molybdenum and vitamin B1, Rezin can be used in both the flowering and flushing periods of growth to boost essential oil, trichome, and resin content. Rezin contains no plant growth regulators (PGR’s), artificial colouring, or dyes. And, since it contains only a trace amount of a single micronutrient, Rezin will not impact the EC/PPM of your nutrient solution. Rezin will help promote aromas and flavours to bring out the best qualities of your plants in both the late-stage and flushing period.
Root Builder is GreenPlanet’s microbial supplement that promotes root growth, nutrient uptake, and enhances trichome size and density. Formulated with two sources of bacteria, Bacillus Licheniformis and Bacillus Subtilis, Root Builder can quickly increase microbial activity in the root zone, allowing for increased uptake, yield, and trichome formulation. Experts agree that adding a source of microbes to the root zone can be extremely beneficial. For example, in an article published in Industrial Crops and Products (2018), the authors argue that supplying industrial cannabis with a source of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can drastically increase the size and availability of trichomes (Pagnani et al, p. 75).
Plants use an amazing amount of energy converting fertilizer into energy. They also rely on microbes, or beneficial bacteria to speed up the processes of elemental conversion. These bacteria feed on an array of sugary carbohydrates to maintain colonies of microbes in all stages of plant growth, but especially during the later stages of flower. So, for a consistent supply of carbohydrates, try GreenPlanet’s Liquid Weight. It’s designed to increase and maintain microbial colonies, which aids in crop progression, flower formation, trichome expression, and nutrient and fluid uptake. If you’re looking to get the most out of your garden, Liquid Weight is the perfect supplement.
Remember, to enhance the smell and taste of cannabis, grow trichomes, not flowers! For more information on the products or information mentioned in this article, contact your GreenPlanet representative directly, or your local garden supply store.

N-P-K is an acronym for the most readily available macronutrients found in plant food. These important elements, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), are the building blocks of plant nutrition and are an essential part of a plant’s diet throughout the periods of vegetative and flowering growth. However, there are another 7 elements called micronutrients that are also essential for plant health. Without access to essential elements, crops can exhibit deficiencies such as yellowing, purple, or bronze discoloration, spotting, interveinal chlorosis and slow, or stunted growth. Lucky for us, GreenPlanet’s Pro Cal is loaded with several sources of primary, secondary, and micronutrients to ensure your plants stay healthy and happy in all stages of growth. If you’re interested in what Pro Cal can do for your garden, read the following passages to learn how to fix 5 common nutrient deficiencies with GreenPlanet’s premier micronutrient supplement.
What is Pro Cal?
Pro Cal is GreenPlanet’s supplemental source of essential elements that plants require at all stages of growth. Pro Cal’s formula provides readily available calcium and magnesium, as well as iron, nitrogen, boron, and zinc. This formula ensures your plants do not come up short when they are ready for rapid growth. Plants undergo a large amount of stress in their goal to build cell walls, produce chlorophyll, conduct photosynthesis, and perform other key plant functions. Pro Cal helps plants with this workload by providing access to a variety of clean, quality-assured elements.
Access to a rich and abundant source of nitrogen is extremely important. Symptoms of nitrogen deficiency in crops are as follows: light green growth, yellowing, general discoloration, and brown spotting. Nitrogen is needed by plants to promote rapid growth, especially for fruit and flower development. Also, nitrogen increases leaf size and hastens photosynthesis during the vegetative stage. If plants do not receive adequate nitrogen, crops can become spindly and wilted, new leaves will become smaller and the plant will slowly suffer by withering away into nothing.
Nitrogen deficiency in crops are as follows: light green growth, yellowing, general discoloration.
Pro Cal can help correct nitrogen deficiencies in plants. With an N-P-K of 2-0-0, it’s the perfect supplement to add to your existing feeding program. If you start to notice any one of the common symptoms above, just add Pro Cal at the recommended rate (1.25ml/L) until you notice healthy, vigorously growing new shoots and leaves.
2. Calcium Deficiency
Here are some of the symptoms of a plant with a calcium deficiency: stunted foliage, yellowing edges, and leaf tips that resemble tip burn. In the most serious cases, a calcium deficiency will result in browning leaf tips that slope downwards and become crunchy to the touch. Calcium is a major contributor to the plant’s cell wall and provides structural support to cell walls and leaf development. Also, calcium is needed by plants to produce new growing points and root tips. Without an adequate supply of calcium, plants will quickly suffer by developing one of the common symptoms above.
Calcium deficiency: stunted foliage, yellowing edges, and leaf tips that resemble tip burn.
Luckily, calcium is a major component in GreenPlanet’s Pro Cal. If you happen to notice the development of a calcium deficiency in your plants, incorporate Pro Cal into your feeding program until your crops are healthy and free of any calcium deficiency.
3. Magnesium Deficiency
Magnesium deficiency symptoms: older leaves with interveinal chlorosis, and yellow and brown spotting. In severe cases, plant growth rate drops, leaf size is reduced, and the lower leaves are shed. Magnesium is a structural component of the chlorophyll molecule. Plants need this important element to produce carbohydrates, sugars, and fats and in the regulation of nutrient absorption.
Magnesium deficiency leaves have interveinal chlorosis and yellow and brown spotting.
Pro Cal is formulated with a major dose of magnesium. So, if your plants are displaying symptoms of a magnesium deficiency, add Pro Cal to your preexisting nutrient solution at a rate of 1.25ml/L until new, deficiency-free growth appears.
4. Iron Deficiency
A lack of iron can present growers with a variety of problems. Symptoms of an iron deficiency include light green to yellow interveinal chlorosis on newly emerging leaves, dying roots, and in severe cases, reduced leaf size, and dead spots on old growth. Iron is needed by plants for the synthesis of chloroplast proteins and various enzymes. Like a magnesium deficiency, a lack of iron will cause a severe interveinal chlorophyll discoloration – leaves will likely be a light green colour with dark green or black veinal lines. However, an iron deficiency will cause this phenomenon in new growth, not old.
Iron deficiency includes light green to yellow interveinal chlorosis on newly emerging leaves.
Three types of chelated iron are incorporated into GreenPlanet’s Pro Cal: Iron EDTA, Iron EDDHA, and Iron DTPA. These multiple sources ensure that iron can be absorbed at different and varying pH ranges. For example, iron EDTA is held strongly in a solution at a pH of 6.0, while iron DTPA is held in pH ranges above 8.0. So, if you happen to notice even a minor iron deficiency, consider supplying your plants with Pro Cal. This inclusion will provide your crop with not one, but multiple sources of chelated iron.
5. Zinc Deficiency
Zinc is an extremely underrated micronutrient. Plants with a lack of zinc will exhibit symptoms such as light green, pale leaves with aggressive dark veins; and in severe cases, tip burn and bronze or red spotting starting from the tip down will appear. Zinc is important because it unlocks and facilitates the uptake of natural plant growth regulators. Without access to hormones like auxins and gibberellins, plants will quickly exhibit the symptoms above. Also, natural growth patterns will slow, internodal spacing will drastically decrease, and new leaves and shoots will shrink.
Plants with a lack of zinc will exhibit symptoms such as light green, pale leaves with aggressive dark veins; and in severe cases, tip burn.
To avoid the issues above, chelated zinc EDTA has been included in GreenPlanet’s Pro Cal. It’s extremely important to provide your plant’s access to natural plant hormones during all stages of growth. So, by including Pro Cal in your regular feeding routine, you can guarantee the avoidance of zinc-related deficiencies.

If you’re a seasoned grower, you’ll love GreenPlanet’s GP3 3-Part program. Here’s why: GreenPlanet’s GP3 offers expert growers access to one of the cleanest and most quality-driven 3-Part formulations on the market. GP3 is clean because it’s produced without the inclusion of carbonates, bi-carbonates, fillers, artificial colours, or preservatives. Also, the quality design of GreenPlanet’s 3-Part is unmatched by competitors. 3-Part nutrient programs are classic and traditional nutrient enrichment programs. GP3, however, is the only 3-Part program on the market that provides plants with stable elements, chelated micronutrients, and multiple sources of iron, all within a clean, low salt formulation. If you want to learn more about why expert growers love GreenPlanet’s 3-Part program, read the following passages below.
What is GreenPlanet’s GP3 3-Part Feed Program?
GreenPlanet’s 3-Part GP3 feed program consists of a three-part base nutrient system and several additives that enhance both vegetative and blooming growth. The base nutrient component consists of three parts: Grow, Micro and Bloom. Made for the expert grower, GP3 offers plants everything they need in 3 bottles. From essential micronutrients like copper, boron, and zinc, to balanced levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, GP3 is fed to plants in varying ratios throughout stages of propagation, growth, and bloom, making it the perfect stack of fertilizer for growers who want nothing but the best.
GP3 feed program consists of a three-part base nutrient system and four additive nutrients.
Why Expert Growers Love GreenPlanet’s 3-Part Program
A Clean Formula: No Carbonates, Bi-Carbonates, or Fillers
GP3 contains no carbonates, bi-carbonates, unnatural derivatives, or fillers, and each product in the GP3 program goes through a rigorous filtration process during production to ensure an extremely low salt index. Carbonates and bi-carbonates form when a positively charged metal ion comes in contact with the oxygen atoms of a carbonate ion. These compounds are often insoluble in water and exhibit some level of basicity or acidity in water (Zumdahl, 2008, p. 17). Experts argue that carbonates and bi-carbonates can be damaging to crops by allowing micronutrients to become less available to plants at undesirable pH ranges, therefore inducing micronutrient chlorosis (Morgan, 2008, p. 60). Furthermore, fertilizers high in carbonates and bi-carbonates contain a high salt index and can consequently lead to the buildup of sodium in drip emitters, irrigation lines, and/or reservoirs (Morgan, 2008, p. 43).
GreenPlanet ensures the cleanliness and solubility of their 3-Part program by selecting only the purest raw ingredients that undergo no damaging alteration during the manufacturing process. And, to guarantee that GP3 remains as soluble as possible, each product goes through a multi-step filtration process before it is bottled. In short, expert growers love GreenPlanet’s 3-Part because they trust the consistency and quality of the product.
Includes Multiple Sources of Iron
While micronutrients only account for 1% of a plant’s dry matter content, they are essential for the vegetative and blooming periods of growth. Iron (Fe), in particular, is an extremely important micronutrient that flowering plants rely on to transport nutrients, respire and photosynthesize water and light energy. Reduced or insufficient iron in the root zone can lead to deformed growth, interveinal chlorosis, poor yields, weakness, and low iron-induced anemia (Schmidt et al, 2020, para. 2).
GreenPlanet makes sure your plants acquire a wide variety of elemental iron to avoid the exaggeration of the issues above. For example, three unique sources of chelated iron (Iron EDTA, Iron EDDHA, Iron DTPA) are included in the GP3 Micro formulation. Iron EDTA and EDDHA are both synthetic sources of iron, however, they contain different functions when fed to plants in a solution. Iron EDTA, for instance, is made of strongly chelated ions that hold iron elements together for uptake in pH ranges from approximately 6.0 – 6.5; past this, however, iron EDTA becomes almost impossible for plants to absorb (Krauskopf, 2007, para. 4). Then, until a pH of around 8.0, EDDHA becomes the plant’s available source of iron. Finally, at any pH level above 8.0, the last source of iron (DTPA) becomes readily available to plants (Krauskopf, 2007, para. 4).
GreenPlanet makes sure your plants avoid plant issues by providing three unique sources of chelated iron (Iron EDTA, Iron EDDHA, Iron DTPA) which allow constant nutrient uptake at a varied pH level.
It’s recommended that growers always maintain an acceptable pH range (somewhere between 5.8 – 6.5, depending on the system). However, in the unlikely event that your nutrient solution does rise beyond a suitable range, it’s important to note that safeguards against inevitable micronutrient deficiencies have been put in place. GreenPlanet includes these three sources of iron in their 3-Part feed program to guarantee suitable access to this important micronutrient, no matter the extreme alkalinity of a nutrient solution.
Intricate and Balanced Nutrition
GP3 is supplied to plants in varying ratios throughout stages of propagation, growth, and bloom. For example, GP3 Micro and Grow are fed more heavily during the vegetative stage, while GP3 Bloom is the primary component of the nutrient system during flower. These varying ratios make up a scheduled program of plant nutrition in each stage of growth, allowing growers to get the most out of their nutrients with little waste and no issues with common deficiencies.
This point is not to say that 1 or 2-Part feeding programs aren’t as effective as more intricate nutrient systems. However, by feeding your plants exactly what they need in specific stages of growth, you can guarantee that your crop will have maximal output at harvest time. So, while the GreenPlanet 3-Part program may be slightly more complex, expert growers would agree that the intricacy and balanced nutrition provided by GP3 massively outways the extra effort.
WHAT IT IS
GP3 Micro is an essential component of our 3-part base nutrient system and provides your plants with the optimal array of macro and micronutrients they need during the vegetative & flowering stage. GP3 Micro is part of the GP3 Feed Program.
HOW IT WORKS
GP3 Micro is the component of the GP3 nutrient system that provides your plants with the essential and supplemental nutrients they need in the grow and bloom stages of growth.
Our Micro formula contains ethically sourced ingredients, no synthetic dyes, and features an extensive range of guaranteed micronutrients to ensure your plants are getting the highest quality food possible. These include necessary elements such as iron(Fe), boron (B) and calcium (Ca), all of which benefit the plant throughout its entire life cycle.
Iron is necessary for a plant’s enzymes to function and helps chlorophyll synthesize. Boron improves the structural integrity of cell walls, which keeps stems, stalks, and branches robust and healthy. Calcium plays a major role in the development of rigid cell walls that can support large yields. The stronger cell walls also boost your plant’s immunity to diseases and stress.
When used alongside GP3 Grow and GP3 Bloom, your plants will receive the primary, secondary, micro, and macronutrients they need for a bountiful harvest.
HOW TO USE IT
GP3 requires Grow, Micro, and Bloom for the best results. Refer to the GP3 Feed Program for application rates during each stage of plant growth.
Mix each product individually into the reservoir, check the PPM, pH and adjust accordingly.
CAUTION: Combining GP3 components together in an undiluted form may cause a nutrient lockout. Always mix into the reservoir separately. Follow the GP3 Feed Program for the best results.

WHAT IT IS
GP3 Bloom is an essential component of our 3-part base nutrient system and provides your plants with the optimal array of nutrients they need for the bloom stage. GP3 Bloom is part of the GP3 Feed Program.
HOW IT WORKS
GP3 Bloom is the component of the GP3 nutrient system that provides your plants with the right nutrients they need in the flowering stage of growth. This stage is when your plants start to fruit and produce flowers up until it is time for harvest. But in order to maximize their yields, they need the right formula.
The Bloom formula contains no synthetic dyes and contains only ethically sourced ingredients to ensure your plants are getting the highest quality nutrients possible. These include high amounts of phosphorous (P) and potassium (K), which plants require to thrive while flowering.
Phosphorous is vital for essential plant functions and flower formation to deliver larger yields.
Potassium helps convert phosphorous into energy your plant can use and strengthens cell walls to support heavy flowers.
When used alongside GP3 Micro and GP3 Grow, your plants will receive the primary, secondary, micro, and macronutrients they need for a bountiful harvest.

GP3 Grow is an essential component of our 3-part base nutrient system and provides your plants with the optimal array of nutrients they need for the vegetative stage. GP3 Grow is part of the GP3 Feed Program.
HOW IT WORKS
GP3 Grow is the component of the GP3 nutrient system that provides your plants with the optimal nutrients they require in the vegetative stage of growth.
This stage is when your plants develop leafy green foliage and a strong root system that will be able to support flowering sites during the bloom stage. The Grow formula contains no synthetic dyes and contains only ethically sourced ingredients to ensure your plants are getting the highest quality nutrients possible. These include nitrogen (N) and soluble potash (K2O), which plants require in large amounts to thrive. Nitrogen is vital to the process of photosynthesis and producing chlorophyll, which is responsible for green and healthy growth and increased yields. The soluble potash helps with the plant’s ability to resist diseases and encourages functions that will help your plant transition into the bloom stage. When used alongside GP3 Micro and GP3 Bloom, your plants will receive the primary, secondary, micro, and macronutrients they need for a bountiful harvest.

All fertilizers are essentially comprised of salts. These salts are usually formulated into fertilizers as mineralized elements. In total, there are 16 essential elements that have been recognized for increasing plant growth. These elements are divided into two categories: micro and macronutrients. Most high-quality base nutrient fertilizers will have a balanced and intricate blend of both micro and macronutrients. However, this balance is not the only inclusion that should be considered before purchasing fertilizer for your garden; the raw ingredients that go into each formulation should also be analyzed in terms of quality. For example, the salt index (SI), or the relative tendency of fertilizer to raise the salt content of the soil is an immensely important control. Fertilizers with a high salt index can damage seedlings and weak plants by reversing natural osmotic pressure and oversaturating crops with unsoluble element forms. If you want to learn about the importance of choosing a fertilizer with a low salt index, read the following passages for more information.
What is a Salt Index Rating?
All granular and liquid fertilizers have a Salt Index Rating (SI), which indicates the relative strength of the salt in the fertilizer. Salt content is one of the most critical characteristics of fertilizers. The SI of fertilizer is a measure of the salt concentration that fertilizer induces in the soil relative to Sodium Nitrate. Sodium Nitrate was used as a standard for measuring the Salt Index of fertilizers because it is 100 percent water-soluble and it was a commonly used nitrogen fertilizer when the SI concept was first proposed in 1943. The SI rating does not indicate the concentration of elements within a fertilizer; however, it does predict the average rate at which fertilizer will increase the salinity of a medium.
Why It’s Important to Choose a Fertilizer with a Low Salt Index
Injury or damage to crops can occur when fertilizers with a high salt index are placed in close proximity to seedlings or young plants. When a nutrient solution is applied to a medium, it raises the salt concentration of the root zone. However, if the salt concentration of the medium becomes too aggressive, it can rapidly create an internal imbalance of salt which can lead to tip burn and nutrient toxicity. When a high concentration of salts is added to the surrounding soil/medium, it can often create an imbalance in osmotic pressure, meaning the salt content of the plant is less than the salt content of the medium. A reversal in internal osmotic pressure can result in the plant being unable to uptake water and nutrients, therefore leading to the eventual loss of the plant’s natural metabolic processes.

GreenPlanet offers growers four distinct liquid feed programs: the 1-Part Medi-One, the 2-Part Dual Fuel, the 3-Part GP3, and the 4-Part Hydro Fuel. But what feed program is right for you? Answering this question depends on a few simple yet essential considerations, including gardening practices, previous experience, and cultivation system of choice. For instance, if you’re an organic farmer, the only suitable GreenPlanet feeding system would be the 1-Part Medi-One program. This nutrient program offers growers readily available organic elements for indoor and outdoor operations. While cultivating practices are perhaps the most important determinant when choosing a nutrient program, many factors go into selecting the ideal feeding system. If you want to learn what GreenPlanet feed program would suit your garden, read the following passages for more information.

What is a Feed Program?
A feed program is a schedule of plant nutrition that can be mapped in terms of fertilizer dosage, ratio, supplementation, and use over time. Usually containing several bottles, a complete feeding program should contain supplements, including a base nutrient fertilizer, a vitamin supplement, a bloom booster, a source of carbohydrates, and a trichome enhancer. By combining the inputs in a feeding program, prompted by other factors that produce a confident yield, growers can expect their garden to make the most quality-driven harvest possible.
3 Questions to Consider Before Choosing a Liquid Feed Program
1. Do You Want to Grow Organic Crops?
This question refers to the example above – if you’re interested in growing organic crops, consider only selecting fertilizers made with organic elements. High-quality fertilizers are typically divided into two categories: syntheticandorganic. Synthetic or mineral-based fertilizers are formulated from direct sources of bioavailable elements. However, organic fertilizers are formulated from naturally sourced compounds that become available to the plant once broken down in the root zone. In short, synthetic fertilizers feed the plant, while organic fertilizers feed the soil. This consideration will drastically impact the fertilizer available to growers, as only select feed programs, like GreenPlanet’s 1-Part Medi-One, are specifically formulated with organic elements.
Tip: Look for the OMRI logo on organic fertilizers. The Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) reviews the manufacturing processes of all organic fertilizers against industry standards of production and ensures that all organic products meet necessary quality levels.
This question refers to your method of growing. Some fertilizers aren’t suitable for use in specific systems. So, base your fertilizer of choice on your method of growing. Organic fertilizers, for example, can be made from extremely thick, viscous materials like fish hydrolysate, while synthetic fertilizers are usually formulated with highly concentrated amounts of soluble minerals. In short, some fertilizers are designed for use in specific systems. If you’re unsure whether or not a specific fertilizer would be suitable for use in your garden, ask a GreenPlanet sales representative or refer to the “medium approved” icons available on our fertilizer containers and feed charts.
On the back of each GreenPlanet Nutrient product, you’ll be able to find the For Use Icons for approved medium use
For Use In Icons (Medium Approved Icon List)
Hydro
Products with this icon can be used in hydroponic systems.
Hydroponic systems include anything from drip systems, nutrient film techniques, water culture/deep water culture, aeroponics, and wick systems.

Continuous Liquid Feed
Products with this icon are suitable for continuous liquid feed (CLF) programs.
CLF programs provide plants with a constant feed of nutrients and recycle nutrient solutions continuously. In other words, they are referred to as a “recirculating” system.
There’s no shame in being a new grower. But if you’re new, you must question your experience with plant food. Some fertilizers are more complicated than others. Complex fertilizers, like our GP3 program, come in multiple “parts” and need to be buffered, balanced, and measured in varying ratios over time. Even for the most talented growers, these complex feeding programs can be complicated to manage. All parts of a base nutrient program are made up of similar elements. The only difference between them is the mixing method and ratios during irrigation. So, it’s a good idea to question your capabilities as a gardener and how hard you’re willing to work before selecting a fertilizer.
Choose a GreenPlanet Liquid Feed Program
After considering the questions above, it’s time to determine which GreenPlanet Nutrients feed program is right for you. GreenPlanet offers growers six liquid feed programs:
Below, we’ll discuss the major differences between these nutrient systems and determine which program would work best for your garden.
1-Part Medi-One Feed Program
Simple and Organic – Perfect for Medical Gardeners
If you’re looking for a well-rounded, organic feed program, look no further. GreenPlanet’s Medi-One feed program is an OMRI-listed, one-part, organic base nutrient plus additives. The base nutrient component of the 1-Part program, Medi-One, is composed of multiple organic sources, including hydrolyzed, slow-steamed freshwater fish, sea kelp, and naturally sourced potassium sulphate. Medi-One also boasts an impressive yet balanced N-P-K ratio of 4-3-3; and, because of the slow steaming of inert ingredients during the manufacturing process, Medi-One is an overflowing reservoir of essential micronutrients like copper, boron, manganese, and zinc.
Other supplements like Ocean Magic, Massive, Liquid Weight, and Rezin are included in the 1-Part Medi-One Feed Program. Ocean Magic is a vegetative additive and is a natural source of plant hormones that increase root development, vertical growth, and horizontal branching. Massive is our premier flowering additive, while Liquid Weight is a simple and clean source of soluble carbohydrates. The 1-Part program also includes Rezin, a trichome-enhancing product that can increase the expression of resinous trichome heads.
Concentrated and Effective – Great For Small and Large Scale Operators Alike
Boasting an aggressive NPK ratio, high concentration rates, and a stable pH range, the Dual Fuel program is unmatched by competitors in terms of content, value, and reliability. GreenPlanet’s Dual Fuel Feed program is the perfect choice for growers who want to produce a clean harvest free of headaches, mishaps, and challenges. The base nutrient component of Dual Fuel is divided into two parts: Dual Fuel 1 & Dual Fuel 2. Dual Fuel 1 is the nitrogen (N) and micronutrient-heavy component of GreenPlanet’s 2-part system, while Dual Fuel 2 complements the feeding program by being packed full of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K).

5 Reasons to Switch to GreenPlanet’s 3-Part (GP3)
No Synthetic Dyes or Colors
Highly Controllable
Seamlessly Intergratable
Low Salt Index
100% Chelated Micronutrients
1.) No Synthetic Dyes or Colors
GP3 contains only what your plants need to thrive. All the colours in each formula of our 3-Part program are naturally derived from the ingredients during manufacturing. This means that the different colours in Micro, Bloom, and Grow are completely stable and contain no synthetic dyes or colouring additives. Food-grade dyes won’t necessarily harm your plants, but they also don’t provide any source of nutrition, and that’s why we’ve chosen to leave them out of our GP3 program.
GP3 Micro, Bloom, and Grow contain no synthetic dyes or colouring additives.
2.) Highly Controllable
Using a 3-Part nutrient system offers growers more control and flexibility in the garden. Compared to 1 or 2-Part base nutrients, 3-Part programs are fed to plants in varying amounts throughout different stages of growth. For example, GP3 Micro and Grow are fed more heavily during the vegetative stage, while GP3 Bloom is the primary component of the nutrient system during flower. These varying ratios make up a scheduled program of plant nutrition in each stage of growth, allowing growers to get the most out of their nutrients with little waste and no issues with common deficiencies.
3.) Seamlessly Integratable
GreenPlanet’s 3-Part nutrient system seamlessly integrates into any existing 3-Part program. So, if you just need Micro to fill a spot in your existing feed program – just buy Micro. No matter the brand, each part of GP3 will properly integrate into the program and provide the same essential elements and levels of nutrients. Even if you just need a small amount of GP3 to get you to harvest, you can be assured that the ingredients in GreenPlanet’s 3-Part will integrate seamlessly into any feed program on the market.

4.) Low Salt Index
GP3 contains no carbonates, bi-carbonates, unnaturally derivatives, or fillers. Even more interesting is that each product in the GP3 program goes through a rigorous filtration process during production to ensure an extremely low salt index. This makes GreenPlanet’s 3-Part nutrient system one of the cleanest and most soluble formulas on the market. The cleanliness of GP3 not only leads to more ease while using the product, but it also promotes a cleaner, less salt-ridden environment and root zone for your growing plants.
GP3 promotes a cleaner, less salt-ridden environment
5.) 100% Chelated Micronutrients
All the micronutrients in the GP3 program are 100% chelated. Chelated elements act as catalysts for nutrient uptake by cloaking metals like copper and iron in charged ions to detract them from reacting negatively with water or other negatively charged ions. Chelated micronutrients are generally of higher quality, as chelated metals have an easier time passing through the cell walls of plants, therefore leading to the faster uptake of essential micronutrients.
The 100% chelated minerals in GP3 allow for a faster and more aggressive uptake of essential nutrients by the plant.

Root rot is the archnemesis of the hydroponic gardener. If left untreated, root rot (pythium) can spread like wildfire and quickly disrupt natural growth patterns. At the extreme, rot can potentially devastate a crop and leave nothing but the withered and maimed structure of once happily growing plants. But how do we treat root rot? Or better yet, how can we avoid it? Like most problems in the garden, root rot can be avoided by following a routine of care and consistency; however, when problems arise, tools and techniques are widely available to help remedy issues like root rot. Read the following passages for tips on treating, preventing and managing root rot:
What is Root Rot?
Root rot, or pythium, is a fungal root disease that can be induced and identified in various indoor, outdoor, greenhouse and hydroponic crops. While pests like fungus gnats can transfer the pythium pathogen, the most likely cause of root rot is a lack of drainage, oxygen, or the unmitigated presence of moisture in soil/soilless containers. Roots exposed to rot will cease to expand, become dark, and in the most extreme cases, develop a reddish-brown sludge that will quickly consume the root ball.
Reddish-Brown Sludge
Dark & No Longer Expanding
Plants outside soils are also susceptible to root disease, especially if they share the same water. For example, most hydroponic systems have a central reservoir responsible for expelling and recirculating water back and forth from containers, buckets or net pots. If a single plant becomes contaminated, the likelihood of pythium exposure to the rest of the garden is exponentially increased. If left to rot, root disease in hydroponic systems can be the most devastating.
Avoiding and Preventing Root Rot
In Soil/Soilless Mediums
Among other causes, root rot in soil systems is most likely caused by insufficient drainage, damp soil, overwatering or a poorly functioning root system. So, to avoid root rot in soil gardens, invest in a porous medium or inert compound that loosens dense or muddy soils: peat moss, coco, perlite, volcanic pebbles, and vermiculite are all good examples of highly porous mediums. Also, allow these medium sufficient time to dry out – approximate the weight of a completely saturated plant and compare this weight with a plant in need of water. Root rot can be easily prevented in mediums like peat moss and coco by giving your plants sufficient time between irrigations. These tips and regularly supplying your plants with root-enhancing additives are a sure way to keep root disease at bay.
Peat Moss // Coco // Perlite // Volcanic Pebbles // Vermiculite These highly porous mediums will help improve drainage.
In Hydroponic Systems
Unlike soil systems, water-based gardens are more susceptible to root rot, especially if the nutrient solution is shared between plants or water temperatures are left unmitigated. Hydroponic systems like deep-water culture (DWC), flood and drain (ebb & flow) and aeroponic are at the most high risk for developing rampant root disease – it only takes a single plant to become contaminated to put the entire crop at risk.
Pythium, in hydroponics, is usually induced by high or unstable water temperatures. Oxygen levels are extremely low in water temperatures above 22°C (72°F), and when mixed with acidic plant food, a hydroponic system can quickly become the perfect breeding ground for plant disease. To prevent root rot in hydroponic systems, manage and monitor the temperature of your nutrient solution. To ensure your plants maintain regular periods of growth, attempt to stabilize your water temperature around 18°F (65°F).
The ideal water temp is around 18-22C
Identifying Root Rot
Identifying root rot can be challenging, especially since the root zone is not visible to gardeners. So, rely on your plant’s foliage as an indicator of potential root disease. Here are some foliar characteristics of a plant with root rot: withered or drooping leaves, discolouration, mutated growth and decreased water and food consumption.
Upon noticing a massive decrease in water and food consumption, growers can monitor the daily drinking habits of their plants. This can be done in both hydroponic and soil-based systems. To monitor the water consumption of plants in hydroponic systems, measure the water level of your reservoir daily. If your crop’s water consumption does not increase over time, root disease has likely affected the health of your plants. In soil-based systems, approximate how long your plants can dry out completely. If the time between waterings regularly decreases, root disease may have begun to affect your plant’s metabolism negatively.
David “The Garden Sage” Robinson explains how to identify plants affected by root disease.
Preventing Root Disease
After identifying the characteristics and causes of root rot, it’s best to do what you can to prevent it from occurring rather than limping your crop through the final weeks of harvest. The best way to combat root rot is to avoid it completely by implementing a source of beneficial microbes to help keep root zones healthy. For a quality source of beneficial bacteria, use GreenPlanet Nutrients Root Builder.
So remember, quality controls like resistant genetics, stable systems, care and consistency all play an essential role in treating and preventing root rot. Need support in the garden?

Contrary to popular opinion, there are no supplements that magically enhance the quality or quantity of a harvest. Fertilizers do play an important role in cultivation, but to get the most out of a garden, growers must equally rely on genetics, environmental controls, stable systems and careful management. If these controls are forgotten and plant food is too heavily relied upon, the results at harvest time are likely to be mediocre.
This doesn’t mean that quality inputs like liquid fertilizer should be ignored; however, using too much of a good thing can hurt, rather than help a crop. In fact, when it comes to using highly concentrated fertilizers, less is often more. So, instead of formulating elaborate feeding recipes with 10 or more bottles, rely on just a few, simple, hyper-efficient supplements to push your crop to its genetic limits. Even when it matters most, gardeners can use less and still experience the same success. With this in mind, let’s take a closer look at GreenPlanet Nutrients Massive Bloom Formulation and PK Spike – two highly reviewed, reliable and efficient nutrient supplements that can be used throughout the flowering period.
Massive Bloom Formulation is a good example of a product that contains a solid blooming N-P-K of 1-2-3, as well as an array of carbohydrate extracts.
The well-rounded formulation of Massive is perfect for growers in mediums like soil, peat moss, perlite and coco. Massive Bloom Formulation has impressed a global community of growers for decades and promises enhanced size, weight, flavour and appeal. Here are some of the unique characteristics of GreenPlanet’s Massive:
Low Molecular Fulvic Acid
Massive utilizes low molecular fulvic acid as a catalyst for the uptake of essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. One of the most important functions of fulvic acid is its ability to transport important flowering elements into the cells where they are needed most.
Using low molecular fulvic acid for just a few weeks would result in sturdier stalks and increased water retention, meaning that your plants will be able to support larger, heavier buds in the later stages of flower.
Fulvic Acid = More Nutrient Uptake
Unique Carbohydrate Blend
The highest quality bloom boosters are formulated with external sources of sugar that allow the plant to replenish its supply of carbohydrates. Plants spend amazing amounts of energy in the heat of the flowering period; so, to make sure you’re providing your plants with a sufficient source of energy, consider purchasing a blooming fertilizer containing a wealth of carbohydrates.
Massive Bloom formulation is one such fertilizer that combines an array of mineral salts with a unique blend of carbohydrates.
Plants require more energy within the flowering stages
Chelated Mineral Profile
Massive contains 100% chelated minerals like iron and molybdenum. The chelating process cloaks a metallic ion in a ring of charged molecules that helps facilitate its movement into and through cell walls. So, if elements like iron are chelated, they will have an easier time being absorbed by the plant. Chelating micronutrients actively avoids common nutrient deficiencies, and results in stronger, more vigorously growing plants. Fulvic acid is also a natural chelator. So, if Massive is fed alongside other micronutrient supplements, elements like calcium, copper, and zinc will have almost immediate bioavailability.
Chelated Minerals increase the nutrient absorption rate
PK Spike
To speed up the transition phase and to help encourage the formation of new, developing flower sites, gardeners can include a heavy phosphorus and potassium supplement into their established feeding routine. PK Spike (0-14-15) is an excellent source of clean and quality sourced phosphorus and potassium. If used in conjunction with a base nutrient regimen.
PK Spike can quickly increase root mass, speed up the production of flower sites and strengthen a plants cell walls for the later support of heavy flowers. Add PK Spike, step back and watch your plants swell with size. Let’s take a look at some of the features of GreenPlanet’s PK Spike:
Highly Soluble Minerals
Formulated with highly soluble sources of phosphorus and potassium, PK Spike can be used successfully in any soil, soilless or hydroponic medium. PK Spike is so soluble that it’s even been praised as the only bloom-boosting supplement capable of supporting plants in the original AutoPot system. In fact, because of the intense solubility of PK Spike, growers in any hydroponic system won’t have to worry about clogged lines, pipes or drip emitters while using this product.
“Highly Soluble” means that something dissolves quickly in water.
GreenPlanet Nutrients
PK Spike is a highly soluble fertilizer which means it can be used in hydroponic system with ease
A Common Hydroponic System Issue
Non Soluble example
Non Soluble Minerals can cause blockages/scaling because these minerals can’t dissolve into a solution
Soluble example
Soluble Minerals will flow through tubes with ease because they can dilute within a Aqueous solution
Hyper-Concentrated Formula
The average application rate of PK Spike comes in at a minimal 0.5-1ml per litre. So, if you’re the type of grower who wants to save on upfront costs, this might be the perfect product for your garden. This also means that PK Spike is the ideal bloom booster for commercial operations.
By combining PK Spike with a highly concentrated base nutrient program, for example, Dual Fuel, you can be sure that your plants will be getting exactly what they need, for less.
Aggressive Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) Content
Phosphorus and potassium are the two main elements necessary for the formation of large flowers. PK Spike is one of the most aggressively packed liquid nutrient supplements available on the market and is recommended for use during the 2nd-7th week of the flowering period. Because of the excess of phosphorus in PK Spike, growers can easily expect an expansion of resinous flower sites. Also, the added potassium will allow your plants to expand their root zone during this period of growth. And, during the later period, increased potassium has the potential to enhance terpene and essential oil production, size, density and weight.
Should You Use Massive or PK Spike?
There is no clear answer to which bloom booster will provide your crop with the best results. As stated above, there is a mountain of variables to consider when comparing potential outcomes. However, when it comes to fertilizer, less is always more. So, rely on your own preferences when it comes to choosing between a selection of flowering additives.
For example, if you garden in soil, use organic fertilizer and mix small amounts of liquid nutrients, rely on Massive to supply your plants with an adequate range of minerals. Hydroponic gardeners, however, might prefer a fertilizer more aligned with their system – something concentrated, highly soluble and packed with essential elements. In short, Massive and PK Spike both have key features that function well under ideal conditions, neither is the superior product and both have the potential to elevate your crop during the flowering period of growth.

Feed programs are like recipes. They combine the best base nutrient formulas with supplements that enhance the natural growth patterns of plants. Whether you’re new to gardening or have been growing for decades, experts agree that committing to a program that promises to produce a heavy, quality-driven harvest, is a good place to start. In hopes of guiding gardeners to possibly the most quality-focused feeding program on the market, the following passages will dive deeper into GreenPlanet’s 3-Part (GP3) feed program.
What is a Feed Program?
A feed program is a schedule of plant nutrition that can be mapped in terms of fertilizer dosage, ratio, supplementation, and use over time. Usually containing several bottles, a complete feeding program should contain supplements including a base nutrient fertilizer, a vitamin supplement, a bloom booster, a source of carbohydrates, and a trichome enhancer. By combining these inputs into a feeding program, prompted with other factors which produce a confident yield, growers can expect to produce the most quality-driven harvest possible. To browse a complete list of feed programs available at GreenPlanet Nutrients, click here.
GreenPlanet’s 3-Part (GP3) feed program consists of a three-part base nutrient system and several additives that enhance both vegetative and blooming growth. Made for the expert grower, GP3 offers plants everything they need in 3 bottles. From essential micronutrients like copper, boron, and zinc, to balanced levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, GP3 is fed to plants in varying ratios throughout stages of propagation, growth, and bloom, making them the perfect stack of fertilizer for growers who want nothing but the best. Specialty additives like plant tonics, bloom boosters, resin enhancers, and carbohydrate supplements are also included in all of GreenPlanet’s feed programs. Before committing to the GP3 feed program, consult the passages below for a description of each product included in the bundle.

GP3 Micro – Base Nutrient
GP3 Micro is the component of the GP3 nutrient system that provides your plants with the essential and supplemental micronutrients they need in the grow and bloom stages of growth. Formulated with micronutrients like calcium, boron, cobalt, copper, manganese, iron, molybdenum, and zinc, GP3 ensures a complete and well-rounded array of elements that dispel all notions of future nutrient deficiencies.
GP3 Grow provides your plants with the optimal nutrients they require throughout the vegetative stage of growth. This stage is when your plants develop leafy green foliage and a strong root system that will be able to support flowering sites during the bloom stage. Added heavily during the aggressive vegetative stage, GP3 Grow is loaded with nutrients like potassium that help facilitate and encourage vertical growth and root mass expansion.
GP3 Bloom is a component of the GP3 nutrient system that provides your plants with the essential nutrients they need throughout the flowering stage of growth. This stage is when your plants start to fruit and produce flowers until it is time for harvest. GP3 Bloom is loaded with phosphorous and potassium, two elements that are essential during the flowering stage. Used more heavily than any portion of GreenPlanet’s 3-Part program, GP3 Bloom is the primary nutrient responsible for the establishment and expression of tight, fully-developed flowers.
Vitathrive is GreenPlanet’s vitamin supplement. Use Vitathrive aggressively throughout the vegetative stage, on transplant day, and during any periods of stress to increase root growth, reduce internal stress, and strengthen any plant’s immune response. The main supplementary component of Vitathrive, Thiamine or vitamin B1, has been shown in old and recent research to be a factor in a plant’s diet that reduces fungal disease and plant stress (Subki et al, 2018, p. 37).
Massive Bloom Formulation is GreenPlanet’s premier flowering additive, formulated with all of the necessary macro and microelements required to achieve an increase in flower size. As well as providing several additional beneficial properties, such as L-amino acids and a source of carbohydrates, Massive is the perfect blooming supplement to pair with the select and aggressive GP3 base nutrient system.
Entourage Effect: The theory that the synergistic effect of THC, flavonoids, cannabinoids, and terpenes all contribute to the overall “experience” of cannabis consumption.
Rezin is GreenPlanet’s flowering additive formulated to enhance the natural processes within flowering plants that produce flavor and aroma. With no PPM, Rezin can be used with any base nutrient program until harvest to produce large, sugar-coated flowers. Now known for enhancing the “entourage effect” (Russo, 2019, para. 17), Rezin is one proprietary supplement that is a must-have for any quality-driven garden.
Liquid Weight is a supplement blend of simple carbohydrates that increase the amount of beneficial microbial life in the root zone. This leads to the exaggerated absorption of essential nutrients that help develop impressive aromatic flowers and fruits. Plants spend an amazing amount of energy-releasing sugars like cellulose into the root zone; so, by supplementing your plant’s expenditures with additional carbs, you can be sure the beneficial microbes in your soil will be plentifully fed, which in turn will support the cultivation and growth of your root zone. For more information on the benefits of sugars in the garden, read our blog: The Power of Carbohydrates in the Garden.
Like a recipe, the GP3 feeding program has the best results when the formula is followed. As explained above, a feeding program is a schedule of plant nutrition that can be mapped in terms of fertilizer dosage, ratio, supplementation, and use over time. Throughout the weeks of vegetative and flowering growth, the GP3 feeding program will guide the grower through different stages of a plant’s life, and offer general feeding ratios, doses, and helpfully supplementation tips. All the measurements of plant food on GreenPlanet’s feeding programs are described in milliliters of fertilizers per liter of water.
Features and Considerations
At a glance, you’ll notice a few distinguishing features about the GP3 feeding program: first, only certain products and supplements are recommended for use in specific stages of plant growth. For example, the feeding program is split into two stages: vegetative and flowering growth. In these different stages, only certain supplements are recommended for use; for instance, you’ll notice that products that increase flower size, like Massive Bloom Formulation, are only introduced in the second week of flower, once plants have established pistils and bud sites.
Products that increase flower size, like Massive Bloom Formulation, are only introduced in the second week of flower
Also, GP3 is fed in varying rations throughout vegetative and flowering stages and growth. This means that some nutrients, like GP3 Bloom, are fed far more than GP3 Micro or Grow during the flowering stage. And, since the flowering stage is much longer than the average vegetative period, growers can expect to use almost twice as much GP3 Bloom during the entirety of a crop. So, be aware that if you’re growing a crop at scale, you may need to invest in twice as much GP3 Bloom as compared to the rest of the GP3 base nutrient system (GP3 Micro/Grow).
Feeding Considerations
Another aspect of the GP3 feed program to examine is the rise and gradual plateau of the recommended Parts Per Million (PPM) of your nutrient solution. PPM is a unit of measurement which describes the concentration of a solution. In this case, since we are examining fertilizer, PPM can be seen as a measurement that determines the strength and concentration of dissolved elements within a nutrient solution.
PPM is a unit of measurement which describes the concentration of a solution.
While following the GP3 feeding program, you’ll notice that the PPM of you’re nutrient solution will gradually increase as you move into the flowering stage, finally plateauing in weeks 2 – 6, followed by a gradual decrease in strength as you move towards the final weeks of flush. These general measurements are based on the assumption that as time progresses, your plants will become larger, and therefore be able to digest a more concentrated nutrient solution. However, these nutrient levels generally plateau and decrease as plants ripen and move towards the flushing stage. For a more in-depth understanding of PPM and plant nutrition, refer to the blog titled: What are Base Nutrients?

Before the time of the dinosaurs, our planet was covered in a vast ecosystem of forests and swamps. As time moved on, shelves of sediment moved back and forth across the land, trapping and compressing organic matter and later transforming them into coal, oil and peat deposits. However, certain ancient pockets have been found that still contain rich and valuable organic compounds. These million-year-old compost heaps called humates contain a massive supply of microbes, minerals and trace elements. Probably one of the most overlooked nutrient supplements, humate substances have the potential to enrich plants with a variety of benefits. Thinking about adding a source of humates to your feeding program? Read the following passages to learn more about the importance of humic and fulvic acid.
What are Humates?
Humates are a mix of humic and fulvic acids and contain microbes, trace elements, minerals and metals such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and zinc. Humic acids, the larger of the two molecules in humates can be extracted from peat or lignite deposits. Fulvic acids, while made up of smaller, highly charged molecules, contain a much higher quantity of trace minerals and can become soluble in water at any pH level. Both humic and fulvic acids are the product of the slow breakdown of organic matter. Due to the microbial process required to form humates, humic and fulvic acids have developed the capacity to increase crop productivity in amazing ways.
Humic acids, the larger of the two molecules. Fulvic acids, while made up of smaller, highly charged molecules, contain a much higher quantity of trace minerals
The Importance of Using Humic and Fulvic Acids
If combined with your regular feeding schedule, humic and fulvic acid can increase nutrient uptake, water retention and general root health. Especially in hydroponic mediums like hydrostone, perlite and rockwool, humate substances are necessary for creating a root zone that can easily absorb nutrients, chelate metals and carry elements to nutrient-deprived sections of the plant.
Humic and Fulvic Acids as a Catalyst
Humic and fulvic acids have the ability to create this healthy reaction by acting both as a nutrient catalyst and chelator. It’s often that when adding humates to their regular feeding routine, growers notice increased water retention and stalk, branch and node thickening. This reaction is common after a week or so when using humic or fulvic supplements, as these acids contain a distinct catalyst function when combined with other absorbable elements. Silica, for example, is one such element that when fed along with fulvic acid becomes more readily available to the cell walls of plants.
Silica is one such element that when fed along with fulvic acid becomes more readily available to the cell walls of plants
Humates Also Chelate
Depending on the pH of your nutrient solution, water may have some difficulty transporting metallic salts required for plant health. Humic and fulvic acids remedy this issue by acting as a natural chelator. Silica, for example, is one such element that when fed along with fulvic acid becomes more readily available to the cell walls of plants The degree to which this process is successful, however, does depend on the pH of the nutrient solution. Calcium, for example, would have trouble being readily absorbed by plants at a pH below 5.5, even with humic or fulvic acid acting as a chelator. If buffered to a correct pH range, gardeners will see an array of results following the use of humate supplements, including thicker branches, more efficient nutrient uptake, broader leaves, tighter node spacing and larger root-balls.

GreenPlanet Nutrients Humate Supplements
GPH Uptake
GPH Uptake is a soluble formula of humic acid that aids the plant with nutrient uptake throughout its entire lifecycle. Due to the chelating results of GPH, essential immobile micronutrients such as calcium become easier to absorb by the plant. Humic acid also promotes mycorrhizal fungi colonization in the plant’s rhizosphere. Mycorrhiza allows the plant to take full advantage of the nutrients found in the root zone that would otherwise be inaccessible. This boosts the plant’s ability to produce vigorous green growth in the vegetative stage and impressive yields during the flowering stage. Use GPH Uptake in soil/soilless mediums such as peat moss, potting soil or coco for the best solubility.
GPF Uptake is a water-soluble fulvic acid supplement designed for use in hydroponic systems. Fulvic acid’s natural ability to chelate nutrients means larger molecules become mobile and available to the plant. Once absorbed, fulvic acid continues to help transport the nutrients to the parts of the plant where they are needed the most. The added fulvic acid ensures plants retain and fully utilize the nutrients they are fed. GPF Uptake can also benefit as a foliar spray application. Fulvic acid applied as a foliar spray increases the number of budding sites on a flowering plant, promotes a sturdier stalk, and overall plant structure. The fulvic humates in GPF Uptake become soluble in water easily, meaning that this product can be used in a variety of water-based systems with recirculating reservoirs.

If unmanaged, powdery mildew (PM), mould, and fungus can easily devastate a crop. Next to harmful pests, PM is the single most damaging hazard in the garden. PM on plants promotes deficiencies, reduces quality, impairs yields, and severely devalues a crop. If left unchecked, powdery mildew can even encourage rot in fully formed flowers, or worse, curse a grow room with systemic issues of mould, fungus, and plant disease. While fairly common, powdery mildew is a potential hazard that can be easily prevented. However, if problems do arise, products and solutions are widely available to help treat and prevent powdery mildew. Read the following passages to find out more about powdery mildew and solutions available for treatment and prevention.
What is Powdery Mildew?
Powdery Mildew creates white patches of fungal growth that stand out against the green leaves.
Powdery Mildew is a fungal disease that is common in a wide variety of plants and typically forms in white splotches on the tops of large fan leaves. Powdery mildew develops fast in environments with high humidity and moderate temperatures. Greenhouses, for example, provide the best environment for the widespread development of plant diseases like powdery mildew. As destructive as PM might be, luckily, it is one of the easiest plant diseases to identify. Plants exposed to spores may appear to have been dusted with flour, as powdery mildew starts off as small, circular white spots and later develops into widespread patches of white mildew that can be wiped or brushed off.
What Causes Powdery Mildew?
Weak genetics, an unstable environment, and irregular feeding patterns can all contribute to the development of plant disease. For instance, if a mother plant has had previous spells of powdery mildew, the offspring of that plant carries on the disease, and can also be easily susceptible to spores in the future. Environmental conditions present growers with additional concern for the spread of disease.
For example, “day-time” temperatures and levels of humidity are something every indoor gardener is concerned with maintaining. In the range of 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26C) and 50-60 percent humidity, plants have an ideal environment in which to grow. However, “nighttime” temperatures and humidity levels must also be managed and maintained. If not, spikes in humidity coupled with low nighttime temperatures may lead to an increased risk of disease development.
For the best chance of cultivating a disease-free crop:
Breed your own genetics
Maintain a consistent, stable environment
Feed your crop appropriately with nutrient supplements
How to Prevent Powdery Mildew
If your garden’s genetics and environment are both strong and stable, powdery mildew prevention is the next step to think about on the path to cultivating the cleanest crop possible. Like pest control, the best solution for managing PM is not having it at all. So, before dealing with the headache of disease treatment, consider the options available to stop PM from becoming a problem in the first place.
Look out for round patches of powder that look like flour.
Environmental Control
Identifying the environmental factors that put your plants at risk for PM is the first issue to consider when trying to avoid it. If the levels of temperature and humidity in your garden are ideal, the next step to avoiding powdery mildew is to consider the garden’s air movement, plant placement, and potential sources of disease.
PM will thrive in environments with little air movement. So, to increase prevention measures, consider purchasing additional air movers like floor or wall-mount fans – with adequate air movement, all the large fan leaves in your garden should be gently swaying. “Plant placement” is equally important. Plants too close to each other, or too close to the wall will have an increased chance of contracting and spreading diseases like powdery mildew. For the best chance of avoiding the later issues that come with treating PM, make sure that all the plants in your garden have enough physical space to grow and transpire without the extra buildup of humidity.
Here is an example of good airflow and ventilation for indoor growing.
Finally, if you’ve noticed an unexpected outbreak of powdery mildew, search your outdoor property for potential sources of disease. Plant disease is possible even in the cleanest gardens. If you manage a clean garden that has suddenly contracted PM, it’s quite likely that an outside source of mould has infiltrated your grow room. To combat this concern, consider cleaning outside sources of fungus and protect your crop with clean sources of fresh air: Intake or HEPA filters are a low-cost method of preventing exposure to powdery mildew.
Strengthen Your Crop With Supplements
Along with a stable feeding program, the most adept growers enrich their crops with supplements like GreenPlanet Nutrient’s Vitathrive and Plant Guard to build strong plants that are resistant to environmental stress. Vitathrive is GreenPlanet’s propagation supplement that contains a full complement of b-vitamins and elements that aid the plant through the vegetative stage. Among other benefits, Vitathrive helps to reduce the stresses that come from rapid cell growth, environmental conditions, and heavy fruit loads. GreenPlanet’s potassium silicate supplement, Plant Guard, also helps prepare your plants for poor environmental conditions by strengthening cell walls and increasing resistance to environmental stress.
How to Treat Powdery Mildew
If you’re concerned about contracting PM, inspect your crop daily for the earliest possible signs of disease. Depending on the control solution, plants can be treated for powdery mildew at any stage of growth; however, treating your plants sooner rather than later is ideal, as some treatment methods can negatively affect the outcome of plants in flower. A wide variety of treatment solutions are available for plants in the vegetative stages, these include home-remedy options, sulfur sprays or burners, and/or chemical removal. While these treatment options are effective against powdery mildew, most are not recommended during the flowering period.

In any environmental setting, plants have distinct dietary requirements. Like people, there are only certain elements that plants can readily absorb in order to maintain healthy bouts of new, disease-free growth. In total, there are 16 essential elements necessary for healthy and deficient-free plant growth. These elements are separated into two categories, macro and micronutrients, and are typically combined at an adequate rate within liquid, powdered or granular nutrient supplements called “base nutrients”, or, at higher levels in varying ratios in fertilizers called “additives”.
Base nutrient supplements can be seen as your plant’s source of “meat and potatoes”, essential elements necessary for growing healthy crops. Additives on the other hand, if we stick with food analogies, can be described as a plant’s “dessert”, something that is not essential for survival, but if supplemented appropriately, can ultimately enhance the potential for size, flavour and appeal during flower. While the importance of base nutrients supplements is unparalleled in the lifecycle of a plant, additives also have an important role to play. By combining additives and supplements during the flowering period, growers can ensure their crop will be pushed to its genetic limits. Follow the passages below to find out more about the flowering supplements and additives available at GreenPlanet Nutrients.
Nutrient Requirements During Flower
As mentioned above, there are 16 essential plant nutrients that are needed to maintain healthy patterns of growth. During the periods of early, late and middle flower, however, some of these elements, most notably phosphorus and potassium, are needed in greater quantities to help support the development of fully established and sugar-coated flowers. Although, other elements and minerals can also support and enhance the generation of trichomes, cannabinoids, terpenes and flavours.
Follow the passages below for a look at bloom boosting supplements that can help your crop reach its full potential in all stages of the flowering period:
Bloom Boosting Additives
PK Spike
Depending on the genetic characteristics of your crop, plants will typically begin to exhibit the signs of flower sites 10-14 days in an environment with a 12-hour darkness photoperiod. During this stage of early flower, gardeners will be able to make out a female plant’s elongated pistils, or maybe even the first formation of flower sites. To speed up this transition phase and to help encourage the formation of new, developing flower sites, gardeners can include a heavy phosphorus and potassium supplement into their established feeding routine. GreenPlanet Nutrients PK Spike, for example, is an excellent source of clean and quality sourced phosphorus and potassium; and, if used in conjunction with a base nutrient regime, PK Spike can quickly increase root-mass, speed up the production of flower sites and strengthen a plants cell walls for the later support of heavy flowers.
The middle of flower is an extremely important period of growth for plants. At this stage, a plant’s metabolism has completely committed itself to the process of converting elements into energy, which it then sends to the formation of large, developing flowers. With this process moving quickly along through weeks 3-5 of the flowering period, cannabis plants, while still needing adequate amounts of (N), (P) and (K), often become deficient in starches that are used in the conversion of elements into useable energy. To combat this issue and to assist your crop in producing its highest potential output, consider using a well-rounded and tested bloom booster that is accompanied by an array of simple sugars. Massive Bloom Formulation is a good example of a product that contains a solid blooming N-P-K of 1-2-3, as well as carbohydrates derived from yucca and molasses extract.
Between the flowering weeks 5-7, your main bud sites and colas should have taken on their finishing shape and size. However, what might be missing in the late stages of flower development is hardness, weight and density. If the environmental conditions of a garden are less than ideal, for example, if temperatures or humidity percentages reach inadequate levels for extended periods, mature flowers can begin to wilt, lose rigidity, or become soft and sponge-like. To increase late-flower hardiness, consider adding a high potassium supplement like Dense to your existing feeding schedule. Dense will assist in providing your plants with the potential to redirect energy at the cellular level, leading to increased tightness and weight in the final weeks before harvest.
Liquid Weight contains an array of simple sugars like dextrose, sucrose and fructose. To encourage the rapid growth of healthy bacteria, fungi and protozoa in your root zone, pairing your regular feeding program with a surgery carbohydrate supplement will help to speed up the growth rate of beneficial microbes. Plants spend an amazing amount of energy-releasing sugars like cellulose into the root zone; so, by supplementing your plant’s expenditures with additional carbs, you can be sure the beneficial microbes in your soil will be plentifully fed, which in turn will support the cultivation and growth of your living medium. Adding a liquid carbohydrate supplement to your feeding program during the flowering phase will encourage your plants to feed heavier, increase output, enhance yields, and lead to more desirable flavours, pigmentation, terpene density and trichome expansion.
Karbo Boost is our powdered carbohydrate supplement. Accompanying all the benefits of Liquid Weight, Karbo Boost is the economic and long-lasting choice for gardeners outside of hydroponic mediums and contains all the necessary elements to increase microbial growth, nutrient absorption and fluid uptake. The end result of using Karbo Boost is a significant increase in flower weight, taste, and overall yield. If your goal is getting the most out of your garden, investing in Karbo Boost is a good place to start.
Rezin is our flowering additive formulated to enhance the natural processes within flowering plants that produce flavour and aroma. Growers can begin using Rezin at any time during the flowering period to encourage plants to express and expand terpenes and trichomes in flowers and across “sugar-leaves”. However, adding Rezin during the last week of the vegetative stage has shown to increase the availability of potential terpenes that will be ready for full expression in the later stages of flower. The formula does not contain any plant growth regulators (PGRs), artificial colouring or dyes, and can be used until the final day before harvest.
Whatever your style of garden, chances are, GreenPlanet has the best fertilizer to get you started. To access the products available at GreenPlanet Wholesale, contact a member of the GreenPlanet sales team, or your local garden supply store for product information and purchasing inquiries.
