PRINCIPLES OF NUTRIENTS

     There are sixteen elements which are generally considered to be essential for good plant growth. The Macro elements required in higher concentrations are Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. Carbon is supplied in the form of Carbon Dioxide. The Micro elements are also very essential for growth, but are required in smaller concentrations. They are Iron, Chlorine, Manganese, Boron, Zinc, Copper, and Molybdenum. Certain plant species may need other elements for good growth such as Silica, Aluminum, Cobalt, Vanadium, and Selenium.  Having said that, it is important that plants receive all the elements needed for optimum and proper growth functions including leaf, flower and fruit production. Most of the nutrients and fertilizers available on the market today are lacking much of the elements that plants need to optimally thrive. Most products have the basic Macro elements of Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium but are sorely lacking the Micros. Some may have as much as eight or so elements- which is only about half way there.

     A nutrient solution with secondary elements like calcium and magnesium and trace elements like boron, copper, molybdenum, zinc, iron, and manganese will get you through all stages of growth but during different stages of life, you can adjust the different nutrient levels needed at different times to optimize growth, flowering and fruiting stages. During the vegetative growth stage most plants need lots of Nitrogen. During the flowering stage most plants need more Phosphorus, Potassium and Calcium than they did during the vegetative growth stage. They still need some Nitrogen but not as much as they did during the vegetative growth stage. Our philosophy is if you are going to do something do it right. We offer Nutrients that are high in minerals and contain all the essential elements. You want to use Nutrients that are absolutely complete with all needed micronutrients to make plants thrive.
