Maximize Your Yields With GreenPlanet’s Massive

GreenPlanet’s Massive encompasses everything about a quality-focused bloom formulation. Unlike other blooming additives, which typically contain nothing more than soluble mineral salts, Massive is specially blended with an array of elements like L-form amino acids, natural sugars, and a balance of micro and macronutrients specifically selected to assist budding plants with the production of large, healthy flowers.

Comprehensive Results

With scheduled use of Massive in the garden, growers can expect an increase in flower size, aromatics, essential oils, chlorophyll content, photosynthesis, CO2 utilization, proper NPK ratios, cell expansion and content, cell wall thickness, floral components, and resistance to stressors. Furthermore, the components in Massive work aggressively to promote, as well as transport vital fluids and cell building materials to the flower sites. This creates truly impressive stacked flower clusters, full of aromatic essential oils.

Dosage and Directions 

Massive is recommended for use throughout the entirety of a plant’s blooming cycle prior to the last two weeks of harvest. At its required dose, Massive is an aggressive product, on average clocking in with a mixing rate of 20mL per gallon, or, 5mL per litre. At this rate, Massive can raise the PPM of a nutrient solution by approximately 300-400 points; so, be sure to adequately adjust the mixing rate of your additional supplements, base nutrients, and additives, to compensate for the boost in salt-content provided by Massive.

Use Clean Nutrient Formulas In Your AutoPot Watering System With Our 3 Part AutoPot GP3 Feed Program

Our initial launch of the GP3 Feed Program

Justin Cooper, Co-Founder of GreenPlanet Nutrients talking about GP3

Simple Grow Systems Need a Simple Nutrient Program

AutoPot Watering Systems offer a simple to use automatic watering systems that can be used either as a hydroponic system or as a traditional soil irrigation system. It makes indoor and greenhouse growing easy for any grower. When working with AutoPot to learn how our plant nutrients could benefit their growers in the best way possible, we needed to understand what AutoPot users wanted from their feed program. We knew that the grow systems required extremely clean formulas with high-quality ingredients as the source of plant nutrition. We also understood that AutoPot growers wanted nutrient programs that simplified their lives, while still delivering an impressive crop.

These demands led us to develop two brand new nutrient programs specifically for AutoPot cultivators: The 2 Part Autopot Dual Fuel Feed Program and the 3 Part AutoPot GP3 Feed Program. GreenPlanet Nutrients focuses on pure nutrient formulas with readily available ingredients, making them an essential source of nutrients for any plants.

There were demands for us to make a 3 part for years, and not only making it, but making it better than what was on the market. GP3 has pure ingredients, better ratios, a more complete formula, and that’s going to give growers better results and better value. Each formula is 100% water soluble and readily available, making it easy for your plant to uptake.

Justin Cooper, Co-Founder of GreenPlanet Nutrients

A Proven Formula Tested By Growers

With proven results since its initial launch, it was no brainer to create an AutoPot Feed Program based on our 3 part base nutrient, GP3. Our Grow, Micro, and Bloom formulas have been tested and approved by veteran craft growers as their go-to 3 part nutrient in any grow medium. As mentioned, nutrients used in an AutoPot need to have a clean formula to avoid clogging the lines and AquaValves in the system. It is nothing but a headache having to isolate AutoPot Grow Modules in order to perform emergency system maintenance when problems arise because of nutrients. All 3 formulas of GP3 are 100% water-soluble, ensuring you can add it to your AutoPot Reservoir without having to worry about any build-up or clogged lines. The only thing you should worry about after feeding your plants is what’s for dinner!

With our formulas ensuring nutrients are available to the plants when they are ready to uptake them, the intuitive design of the AutoPot Watering System can function seamlessly. The AquaValve found in each module of the grow system will deliver the nutrient solution to the plant when it needs it, and with GP3, it is getting a full array of macro and micronutrients it needs at all stages of growth.

Nutrition Matters For Your Plants

GP3 Grow 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. GP3 Micro contains an extensive range of ethically sourced, guaranteed micronutrients to ensure your plants are getting the highest quality fertilizer 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. Finally, GP3 Bloom delivers a healthy dose of phosphorous and potassium, which plants uptake in large amounts during the flowering stage of growth to product beautiful and healthy buds. All 3 formulas work together in every week of plant growth to deliver the fundamental nutrients your garden needs to thrive.

Get Growing With Our New 3 Part AutoPot Starter Kit

We wanted to make using the GP3 AutoPot Feed Program in an AutoPot Watering System as easy as possible, so we made a brand new nutrient Starter Kit to get growers started with the right fertilizers. The New 3 Part AutoPot Starter Kit comes with all the components of GP3: GP3 Grow, GP3 Bloom, and GP3 Micro. They supply your grow with the foundation of NPK and more.

You’ll also find a collection of additive and supplement nutrients in the Kit for added benefits. Our Vitathrive Propagation Solution is a comprehensive additive blend of vitamins and minerals formulated for the vegetative stage of plant growth. It is designed to reinforce plant health and support essential functions. Rezin is our aroma and flavour enhancer that greatly increases the essential oil and resin production of flowering plants. It will push size, aromas, and flavours to bring out the best qualities of your plants for a high-quality crop.

The last product is our highly effective bloom booster, PK Spike. Derived from multiple, highly soluble sources of phosphorous and potassium, PK Spike is designed to encourage budding, help facilitate bulking, and ripening of flowering plants. With large amounts of PK delivered to your plants, you’ll see earlier and more uniform crop maturity, improved flower quality, and tighter buds for a heavy harvest. PK Spike will not leave any biofilm or residue than can be problematic in an AutoPot System. It is an incredibly clean flowering additive that will help your plants thrive in an AutoPot.

It can be a struggle to find the right fertilizers to use in a grow system, especially with so many choices out there. With the GreenPlanet 3 Part AutoPot GP3 Feed Program and 3 Part AutoPot Starter Kit, we’ve ended the search and made the choice an easy one. AutoPot growers now have a clean, simple, and high-quality source of nutrients for their plants.

Increase the weight of your harvest with Dense

Avoid loose and airy buds when using Dense in your garden

Have you ever had big, beautiful flowers after harvest, but when it came time to weight them, it wasn’t what you were expecting from your yields? You were ready for your best harvest to date with big buds, but they are not as hard and dense as you wanted them to be.

In your garden, there can be environmental factors that result in airy flowers. If the temperature around the top of your grow’s canopy is too hot, your flowers are going to loosen up resulting in an airy final product. Growers will also find that excessive levels of CO2 and hormone application can cause your yield to miss the mark on the final weight they are after.

But if you have mastered your garden environment, you are growing a healthy strain, and you have the rest of your nutrient program dialled in, you are ready to add a nutrient supplement like Dense. This is a 0-0-62 powder nutrient, delivering solely potassium (K) to your plant in late flower. When you mix Dense according to the directions, without adding any other nutrients, you can end up with a feeding solution as high as 1400 PPM of straight potassium (K). Even after one application, you will see an increase in the weight of your buds.

In 20 years of doing this, I have never seen 1400 PPM of K applied to a plant. Now that we’ve been doing it, we’re seeing great results. My clients come to me and they say, ‘That works.’

David Robinson, The Garden Sage, Author of the Grower’s Handbook

What is Dense?

Dense is our highly-concentrated potassium supplement used in the last weeks of flower. This dry fertilizer is a specially formulated blend of potassium that is used separately from your regular feeding program. Using Dense in your grow will maximize weight and bulk flowers during the bloom stage for a final crop full of dense buds.

A dry powdered nutrient used throughout the flowering stages
Can be used in these growing techniques

The power of potassium (K)

Dense is a one of a kind dry fertilizer that delivers a large dose of potassium (K) during heavy fruiting and flowering. This is completely unique from any other GreenPlanet Nutrients product we offer. Plants that are lacking in potassium during the later stages of bloom run the risk of producing airy and loose flowers. By introducing a 0-0-62 straight potassium formula to your plants, Dense ensures you get the maximum weight out of your flowers when it comes time to harvest your crop.

The results of Dense comes from the key role potassium plays in the development of flowering plants. Potassium is responsible for sugar production and the plant’s ability to store the energy it needs for healthy and vigorous flower development. It will also increase the strength of the plant at a cellular level to promote the production of sturdy stems that support large flower sites. These benefits of potassium make Dense a must use for cultivators looking to get the most out of their buds.

How do I use Dense in my grow?

Depending on your grow medium and grow system, there are 2 different ways to apply Dense:

Soil/Soilless/Coco Application: Use 1-2 grams per 1 litre (4-8 grams per 1 gallon) of water once a week. Use only in the last 3 weeks of flower, allowing at least one week for flush. Do not mix Dense with any other nutrients, mix with water only.


Hydroponic Application: Flush your nutrient reservoir of the existing nutrient solution. Add 1-2 grams per 1 litre (4-8 grams per 1 gallon) of water. Circulate in your system for up to 48 hours. Flush and then replace it with fresh nutrient solution, then repeat the following week. Use only in the last 3 weeks of flower, allowing at least one week for flush. Do not mix Dense with any other nutrients, mix with water only.

If you are a grower with your environment dialed in, plants are in good health, and looking for a simple product that guarantees your plants will produce buds with maximum weight, Dense is the supplement you have been looking for.

2 Part Autopot Dual Fuel Feed Program is formulated to deliver amazing results in AutoPot Watering Systems.

Increase your AutoPot Watering System Yield Output with our Plant Fertilizers

For us at GreenPlanet Nutrients, we’ve always had a focus on innovation, simplifying gardening for growers, and pursuing partnerships with others who share these values with us. That is why we have worked with the AutoPot Team on a brand new Dual Fuel Nutrient Feed Program and Nutrient Starter Kit designed specifically for their watering systems. For new and experienced cultivators alike, dealing with mixing, pH balancing and complicated feeding schedules can often be a hassle; and in some cases, misuse of liquid nutrients can lead to the detriment of a garden in both yield and quality of the product. Our hyper-concentrated and pH-balanced Dual Fuel formula has been easing the workload in gardens for years since its release in 2016, making it the perfect match for growers already enjoying the benefits of AutoPot’s simple gravity-fed systems. With a watering system that can produce indoor and greenhouse crops with ease, there is now a GreenPlanet Nutrients Feed Program to match.

”I would strongly recommend the GreenPlanet Dual Fuel with any of the AutoPot range because it’s very, very clean. Ben at the farm, where we hold the AutoPot Summer Social, used it last year as well and sang its praises so I thought I’d give it a try as well…really nice nutrient, recommend it.”

– Jason Ralph-Smith, Managing Director at AutoPot Global

Dual Fuel for Beginners

            Dealing with liquid fertilizer for the first time is a challenge, especially when the stack of nutrients involves complicated ratios and constant pH balancing. From experience, we get how frustrating and time consuming it can be for growers. With that in mind, we designed our innovative 2 Part system to change the game forever. Dual Fuel, plain and simple, is easy to use. Whether or not you are a beginner or an expert, all you need for a successful garden is two bottles: Dual Fuel 1 & 2. Dual Fuel was designed to balance perfectly in the water at a range of 6.0 – 6.2. Although checking the pH of your nutrient solution is a good habit, it is in no way required to ensure the efficacy of your daily feeding schedule. With this attribute, our Dual Fuel feed program can save you time in your daily gardening routine and also keep your plants happy and ensure optimum nutrient uptake with an effortlessly ideal pH.

            Even more attractive to beginners is the unmatched utility of the Dual Fuel feed program. In a sense, it’s foolproof.  Our Dual Fuel feed program was formulated to be used in a 1:1 ratio with each part. So, no matter how much nutrient needs to be mixed, the ratio of Dual Fuel 1 to 2 will remain constant. This again saves the gardener time and headache, as feeding schedules are no longer required if you are only using Dual Fuel 1 & 2.

Here’s a tip: If you’re at all worried you’ve been using Dual Fuel incorrectly, check to see if both bottles have the same amount of nutrient left. If both bottles have equal amounts, you’re using the product correctly. In the case you’re over or under a few drops, don’t worry, this will not harm your plants. That’s the thing about Dual Fuel: don’t overthink – just grow!

GP Team

Dual Fuel for Experts

            If you’ve been gardening through the years, its safe to say you tried your fair share of liquid nutrient programs, and, that you’ve upgraded beyond a few plants to cultivate. Well, its time to stop searching for the perfect nutrient stack and settle on the second to none 2 Part program. Just as Dual Fuel has its advantages for beginners to the industry, these attributes are multiplied when its aggressive formula is applied to large scale operations, saving its cultivators in training, labour, and the upfront costs of liquid fertilizer.

            If you own or manage a medium to large size garden, you’re not doing it alone; there are many hands involved in producing a quality-driven, high yielding product. The overseer of a garden is responsible for many things, one of which is instructing the staff on the process of mixing and balancing liquid nutrients and water. This can often be a taxing process, filled with trial and error, multiple learning curves, upsetting crops and poor delivery on a high-quality product. However, with the Dual Fuel program in the mix, these worries are thrown to the wayside, as the pH stability and seamless mixing patterns of this product evidently attempt to flatten the learning curve of any potential master grower. In turn, these attributes will arguably speed up production time, and lead to a cleaner, happier garden.

            Furthermore, Dual Fuel 1 & 2 are hyper-concentrated, with the average application (depending on plant age, size and stage) coming in at 1.0 – 2.0 ml per litre, and with its marginally low upfront cost, this program is a dream for large scale operators looking to save on liquid nutrient. Unlike indoor gardening hardware, like lighting equipment, ventilation gear and other environmental controls, fertilizer is something that is always being purchased. Dual Fuel is a program that attempts to shorten the periods between these costly trips to your local garden supply store, as its hyper-concentration and easy mixing habits lead to less waste and more value per litre than any competitor on the market.

When growing in a gardening system designed specially to simplify the lives of cultivators, it only makes sense to use the easiest and most cost-effect nutrient program on the market as your source of plant nutrition. With our 2 Part AutoPot Dual Fuel Feed Program and 2 Part AutoPot Dual Fuel Starter Kit, growing with an AutoPot Watering System just got that much easier.

SIMPLE AND EASY TO USE 2 PART DUAL FUEL BASE NUTRIENT SYSTEM THAT DELIVERS EVERY TIME

Whether you’re a novice cultivator with your first grow tent or a master grower producing on a commercial scale, our Two-Part Dual Fuel base nutrient system gives you the ability to fine-tune your garden to ensure you get bigger and better yields!

This highly concentrated formula not only takes the hassle out of the vegetative and flowering stages, but it also does it cost-effectively so you can concentrate your efforts on what matters the most to you.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Dual Fuel is a 2 part formula that provides the nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) and a combination of secondary micronutrients a plant needs at its various stages of growth. Both bottles are used in a 1:1 ratio throughout the entire crop cycle, making it ideal for commercial growers with injector systems and novice growers wanting to bring more simplicity to their grow.

Less is more with this highly concentrated formula which reduces the volume of nutrients needed to finish a crop. Together Dual Fuel 1 & 2 result in rich green leaves in the vegetative stage followed by big and beautiful blooms in the flowering stage.

WHAT IS IT?

Dual Fuel 1 has higher levels of nitrogen (N) and calcium (Ca). Nitrogen is an essential element that supports basic plant functions. It also promotes vigorous, green foliage throughout the plant’s life. Calcium is a secondary nutrient that promotes enzyme activities and plant cell structure.

Dual Fuel 2 has higher levels of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Phosphorus plays a key role in essential functions of the plant including photosynthesis, healthy root development, and nutrient movement through the plant. Potassium aids in the conversion of phosphorus into energy that your plants can use and strengthens cell walls to support larger yields.

Rezin is our flowering additive formulated to enhance the natural processes within flowering plants that produce flavour and aroma. This results in high-quality flowers come time for harvest.

Vitathrive Propagation Solution is our comprehensive additive blend of vitamins and minerals formulated for the vegetative stage of plant growth. It is designed to reinforce plant health and support essential functions.

Massive Bloom Formulation is our premier flowering additive formulated with all of the necessary microelements required to achieve an increase in flower size as well as providing several additional beneficial properties.

Liquid Weight is a supplement blend of simple and complex carbohydrates that support the plant and beneficial microbial life in the root zone. This leads to an increase in the absorption of essential nutrients that help develop impressive aromatic flowers and fruits.

HOW TO USE IT

Looking for bigger yields or a heavier flower, then Dual Fuel is for you, as this 2 part base nutrient constantly delivers to meet the demands of your grow.

What is N-P-K?

All of our fertilizers are clearly marked with three numbers that represent nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), or NPK for short. These indicate the three major nutrient components of fertilizers that are essential for the growth, flowering and overall health of plants.

NPK’s are located on the front of our bottles

Understanding the ratio of the fertilizers

The NPK ratio isn’t rocket science and once you understand the principals, you can use this quick universal tool for all your cultivation endeavors. From understanding NPK values, you will be able to select the right product based on what your plants actually need.

For example, if you are growing leafy vegetables then you may want to apply a fertilizer that has a higher nitrogen level to encourage leafy growth. If you are growing flowers, you may want to apply a fertilizer that has a higher phosphorus level to encourage more blooming.

What are these three Macro Nutrients?

Firstly, you need to know what these three macronutrients are and why they are the most vital nutrients your plants need.

Nitrogen (N)

Nitrogen is an important plant nutrient that fuels lush growth, deep green foliage, and resistance to adverse conditions, such as diseases and pests. Without nitrogen, plants grow slowly and develop small, stunted, and deformed leaves that are yellow or pale green. However, too much nitrogen can harm a plant and may cause leaves to turn yellow or brown. Too much nitrogen is especially dangerous for young plants that are not yet well-rooted.

Phosphorus (P)

Phosphorus, which promotes overall plant health and healthy tissue development, is especially important for young plants in the process of establishing roots. Phosphorus also assists in the development of seeds. Plants with adequate phosphorus are strong and productive, resulting in more flowers, vegetables or fruits. A phosphorus deficiency results in slow plant growth, discoloration, and stunted, disfigured leaves with a scorched appearance.

Potassium (K)

Potassium contributes to strong roots and plant vigor, boosting the plant’s immune system and strengthening tolerance to pests and disease, as well environmental factors such as drought or bad weather. Plants with adequate potassium will display vibrant floral production. A plant with a potassium deficiency may suffer from stunted growth and scorched leaves, especially on the leaf tips. The deficiency is most evident on the lower and middle leaves of the plant.

What do the NPK numbers mean?

So now you know what nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are, it’s now time to understand what the number values mean in relation to the NPK. 

The higher the number, the more concentrated the nutrient is in the fertilizer. For example, numbers on fertilizer listed as 20-5-5 has four times more nitrogen in it than phosphorus and potassium. A 20-20-20 fertilizer has twice as much concentration of all three nutrients than 10-10-10. 

A fertilizer that contains only one macro-nutrient will have “0” in the other values. For example, if a fertilizer is 10-0-0, then it only contains nitrogen. 

Understanding our products

Making it easier for you. Now we’ve told you what NPK is, below are examples of certain products which best showcase these NPK values.

Example of Nitrogen heavy plant nutrient

NPK: 5 – 0 – 1

Dual Fuel 1 is an example of a nitrogen (N) heavy-based product that promotes vigorous, green foliage throughout the plant’s life.

Example of Phosphorus heavy plant nutrient

NPK: 0 – 14 -15

PK Spike is an example of a phosphorus (P)  heavy-based product that helps facilitate bulking, and ripening of flowering plants.

Example of Potassium heavy plant nutrient

NPK: 0 – 0 – 62

Dense is an example of a potassium (K) heavy product that is designed to maximize mass and bulk flowers during the bloom stage.

So now that you know what the three numbers on our bottles mean, you’ll be able to search our product catalog and find the right products for your garden. If you have any questions or concerns please contact our sales team today for the latest tips and advice.

5 Reasons Why You Should Use The Backcountry Blend Outdoor Feed Program

Among all the variables which determine a successful growing season, access to quality nutrients is perhaps the most important. Any experienced grower can tell the difference between an outdoor crop well sown in rich nutrients, and one grown in a medium that leaves the plant wanting for more. Here are 5 reasons why using Backcountry Blend’s outdoor feed program will help you get your best harvest to date!

1. Feeding is a breeze.

Not everyone who enjoys gardening has a particular desire to constantly feed their plants nutrients. A quick application of Backcountry Blend solves this issue for the laziest of us. You only need to apply the recommended dose of slow-release fertilizer every 3-4 weeks throughout the vegetative, flowering and ripening stages of plant life. 

2. It provides a steady uptake of nutrients.

As a slow-release granular blend, Backcountry Blend will not overwhelm your plants with nutrients when it is applied to your outdoor grow. We’ve taken care to ensure the macro and micronutrients are evenly dispersed over the entire fertilizer range, allowing for better and more even absorption.

3. Don’t break the bank.

Unlike some of its liquid counterparts for outdoor grows, these granular products are made to be affordable, while still providing quality sourced nutrition like a healthy dose of micronutrients with every watering. BackCountry Blend’s outdoor feed program has a staggered application rate of about once a month; and so, depending on the size of your garden, a set of this blend could potentially be used and stored for several growing seasons. 

4. Keeps pH at optimal levels.

Ensuring your grow media is within the optimal pH range is essential for the uptake of nutrients. BackCountry Blend is designed to neutralize acidic soils and prevent pH issues, such as nutrient deficiencies and lockout. Using Backcountry will bring most soils into the correct pH range. 

5. Boost ensures a strong finish.

Flowering plants require large amounts of phosphorus and potassium to produce large, beautiful fruits that we growers strive for. Our Backcountry Blend Boost provides exactly that: a huge spike of PK to improve yields, floral development, and overall colour and aroma.

The Easiest Switch You’ll Ever Make

GP3 3-Part Nutrient System

You may be wondering, “What makes GP3 better than the 3-part I’m currently using?“

Let us answer that for you: It’s just better.

  • Better sourced ingredients.
  • Better formulations.
  • Better value.
  • Better results guaranteed.

HOW TO USE IT

Guaranteed Analysis

GP3 is one of the newest additions to GreenPlanet Nutrients’ line of exceptional plant fertilizers.  This unrivaled 3-part nutrient system consists of a combination of all primary, secondary and micronutrients in three separate formulas: Grow, Micro, and Bloom.

GP3 contains no dyes or synthetic colours.

All colours in GP3 are naturally occurring in the ingredients and are light, heat and acid stable.  What you see is what you’re getting!  Green Planet Nutrients guarantees no added artificial colours or dyes.  Besides, what would your plants do with added colours or dyes?  Nothing, so why include it?

More flexible than your conventional 2-part fertilizer.

GP3 provides more flexibility than a conventional 2-part nutrient system in that it allows the grower to have more control over the levels of nutrient their plants receive.  No fumbling, no confusion, it’s as easy as 1-2-3.

Seamlessly integrates into any feeding schedule.

Only want micro?  Just buy Micro.  Want to switch out your 3-part for something better?  Then pick up the whole line of GP3.  GP3 is designed to be seamlessly integrated into any feeding schedule and can replace any current 3-part system currently on the market.  It really is that simple.

Purest ingredients of the highest quality source.

The formulation of GP3 is derived from the purest ingredients of the highest quality source and contain zero carbonates, unlike a number of similar products on the market.  Carbonates are essentially useless as nutrients; they’re not immediately available to your plants as they are not water soluble.  Carbonates lockout nutrients – micronutrients in particular – and keep pH levels high.

All nutrients are water soluble.

All nutrients included in GP3 are water-soluble and are immediately available to your plants, so there is no need to worry about nutrient deficiencies and what we say on the bottle actually being in there.  What does water soluble mean?  As GP3 contains no carbonates, all nutrients are easily soaked up by your plants’ roots when they uptake water, so they don’t need to work hard to get the nutrients they need resulting in saved energy towards better growth and bigger blooms.

Super-clean product

GP3 is a super clean product: each formula goes through a rigorous filtration process during production to leave absolutely no sediment or residue in your reservoir.  GP3 also carries a low salt index, which means there is no heavy salt residue.

100% chelated micronutrients & a low salt index.

All micronutrients are 100% chelated, so you can be sure your plants will get the micronutrients they need to thrive.  A chelate is a large molecule that forms a protector or a “claw” around a charged ion to prevent it from reacting with other oppositely-charged ions.  When mixed with water, metals–like iron or copper–react with the negative charge of oxygen, creating an oxide, such as iron oxide (rust), or that blue-green stuff you see on old pennies (copper oxide).  When this happens it renders the nutrient useless to your plant, which is no good; including chelators prevents this and allows easy and efficient uptake of micronutrients.  As Iron is so important to chlorophyll production, GP3 ensures that there are three unique sources of iron included in the formula for a broad range of pH ranges.

GP3 is an exceptional nutrient system that is formulated to grow plants bigger and better than ever before.  If you want the best possible growth in your garden, grow with GP3.  It really is the easiest switch you’ll ever make, guaranteed.

How to Grow a Consistent Crop

Growing crops that are abundant one year, but waning the next – does not a happy farmer make. Consistent crops that flourish year after year is what hobby farmers and large-scale producers alike are looking for.

As such, there are a few things to consider to ensure your growth is optimal each and every year.

Choosing Your Plants Wisely

If you are a hobby farmer and are looking to grow a garden to produce your own – well, produce, you will want to pick young plants that are bushy and have not flowered yet. This allows the plant to acclimate in your garden environment and growing conditions, with little to no shock in the replanting process.

Replanting plants that are already flowering – means they are also potentially seeding, and puts too much stress on a plant already accustom to its environment. So choose bushy but non-flowered plants that will adjust well, to ensure your garden grows as expected

Water. Feed. Repeat.

Just as humans will become dehydrated without water, or hungry without food …so too do plants become under such conditions.

Annuals, in particular, have short roots, so if the surface of the soil is dry, or if all the nutrients have been sucked from that soil, you are going to want to water and feed your plants sufficiently. Feeding your plants every 3-6 weeks with a water soluble fertilizer, will ensure they stay healthy and robust for the season in which they are intended to grow.

Groom for Better Growth

Getting rid of dead growth will allow your plants to flourish, and it will also prevent seed pods from forming. If your flowers have began to lay dormant during the time they should still be blooming, it is likely they need some maintenance and grooming.

As a way to safeguard against unhealthy plant growth, we offer a product called Bud Booster – providing optimal growth for your flowering plants. This bloom additive offers a high level of phosphorus, helping to promote blooming, and assists in the plant’s metabolism during the middle of the flowering stage. The potassium also helps improve the quality of your flowers/fruit and helps with the plant’s starch production.
