Soil Food – Grow

Organic Top-Dress Soil Amendment | Feeds and Enriches Soil Life

For optimal vegetative growth, apply Soil Food Grow during the vegetative stage to provide a consistent, well-balanced source of necessary nutrients. This potent, organic top-dressing amendment aids in improving soil biology and maximizing nitrogen levels, resulting in strong roots, stems, and leaves. It also promotes sturdy plant structure and fosters the growth of luxurious, vibrant greenery.

The Key Ingredient: Soy Amino Hydrolysate

Elevate your plants' growth during the vegetative phase by using Soil Food – Grow, which contains soy amino hydrolysate. This organic compound provides 'amine' nitrogen that is quickly absorbed by plants and promotes accelerated growth. By utilizing this form of nitrogen, it not only fuels growth but also enhances soil biology for optimal performance.

Key Benefits:

• Provides nitrogen in an easily assimilable form, ideal for rapid plant uptake for a solid, vigorous growth phase.
• Stimulates soil biology, encouraging nutrient mineralisation and microbial diversity.
• Balances short and medium-term nitrogen availability, mitigating the risk of overloading living soil with residual nutrients.

Other Ingredients:

• Mealworm Frass (Ecothrive Charge): Supercharges microbial life and enhances nutrient cycling.
• Micronised Rock Phosphate: Supplies phosphorus in an ultra-available form to promote strong root systems.
• Potassium Sulphate & Gypsum: Deliver potassium, sulphur, and calcium to build strong, resilient plants.

With Soil Food Grow, your plants will power through the vegetative phase. When it’s time to transition to flowering, switch to Soil Food Bloom to promote healthy flower formation and abundant blooms.

Soil Food - Bloom

Organic Top-Dress Soil Amendment | Crafted to Promote Abundant Flowers

For plentiful buds, flowers, and fruits, switch to Soil Food Bloom as your plants enter the flowering phase. This unique blend promotes robust flower development and high-quality yields by providing essential nutrients such as potassium and phosphorus, while also lowering nitrogen levels. Designed for use during the early and mid-flowering stages, it triggers intense flowering and supports healthy plant growth.

The Key Ingredient: Potassium Lignosulphonate

The key to Soil Food Bloom’s exceptional performance lies in potassium lignosulphonate, a unique organic potassium source enriched with 80% fulvic acid. Fulvic acid provides potassium and enhances the presence of phosphorus, calcium, and other necessary nutrients, guaranteeing your plants have all the elements necessary for optimal bud growth and impressive flowering capabilities.

Key Benefits:

• Improves phosphorus uptake and promotes compact, dense flower development.
• Acts as a chelating agent, increasing the efficiency of nutrient absorption.
• Contains wood sugars to fuel soil microbes and soluble carbon, enhancing overall soil fertility.

Other Ingredients:

• Mealworm Frass (Ecothrive Charge): Drives microbial activity to sustain plants during energy-intensive flowering.
• Gypsum and Kieserite: Provide essential calcium and magnesium for abundant buds.
• Micronised Rock Phosphate: Maintains phosphorus availability for sustained and prolific flower production.

Switch to Soil Food Bloom as flowers begin to form and watch your plants reward you with vibrant, high-quality blooms. After harvesting, use Soil Food Re-Gen to revitalise and re-nourish your living soil for your next crop!

Soil Food Re-Gen

Organic Soil Amendment | Restores and Revitalises Soil Life

For revitalising soil between crops. After harvesting, use Soil Food Re-Gen to restore depleted living soil. This scientifically crafted organic soil amendment replenishes essential nutrients and minerals, fostering microbial growth and revitalizing the ideal soil nutrient balance for your upcoming crops. Use during soil preparation to sustain a healthy growing ecosystem.

The Key Ingredient: Olivine

The standout ingredient in Soil Food Re-Gen is olivine, a magnesium iron silicate that provides a slow, consistent release of magnesium and silicon. Magnesium is essential for chlorophyll production, while silicon strengthens plant tissues, making them more resilient to stress.

Key Benefits:

• Releases magnesium steadily, supporting chlorophyll production without overloading the soil.
• Supplies silicon to enhance plant structural integrity and improve pest resistance.
• Balances nutrient availability, ensuring soil is ready for the next growing cycle.

Other Ingredients:

• Bone Meal: A slow-release source of nitrogen and phosphorus to replenish soil health.
• Mealworm Frass (Ecothrive Charge): Revitalises microbial populations for healthy, biologically active soil.
• Micronised Rock Phosphate: Replenishes phosphorus reserves without creating residual build-up.

Use Soil Food Re-Gen at the end of each crop cycle. This long-lasting nutrition supports early vegetative growth, after which you can top-dress with Soil Food Grow to continue nourishing your plants.
