FoliarFeed
FoliarFeed™ is a powerful foliar spray crafted to deliver essential nutrients directly through plant leaves, providing immediate support for vibrant growth, recovery from stress, and prevention of nutrient deficiencies. Suitable for a variety of plant types and growing environments, FoliarFeed™ is a versatile tool designed to keep your plants healthy and strong by bypassing the soil and feeding nutrients directly to where they’re needed most.
This nutrient-rich formula includes liquid seaweed to enhance resilience and encourage robust growth, while fish emulsion provides a natural source of nitrogen for lush, leafy development. Humic acid improves nutrient uptake, ensuring the elements are readily available, and Epsom salt delivers magnesium and sulfur, essential for chlorophyll production and healthy enzyme function. Each ingredient is balanced to address common nutrient gaps and strengthen plants’ natural defenses against environmental stressors.
Packed with a carefully calibrated blend of micronutrients, FoliarFeed™ includes iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, molybdenum, and optional cobalt to prevent deficiencies and promote lush foliage. This comprehensive micronutrient mix supports both vegetative and flowering stages, resulting in healthy, vibrant plants throughout the growing cycle. These trace elements work in harmony to ensure robust photosynthesis, boost plant vigor, and keep your plants thriving.
FoliarFeed™ is enhanced with yucca extract, a natural surfactant that helps the solution spread evenly across leaf surfaces for optimal absorption, and citric acid adjusts pH levels to maximize nutrient availability. With each gallon of FoliarFeed™ concentrate yielding 16 gallons of ready-to-use foliar spray, it’s an economical choice that provides sustained value. This concentrated formula not only maximizes each application’s effectiveness but also extends the life of each bottle, delivering a reliable source of nutrients over time.
From garden beds to greenhouse setups, FoliarFeed™ offers an all-purpose nutrient solution that supports the entire plant lifecycle. With its balanced array of macronutrients, micronutrients, and natural enhancers, FoliarFeed™ empowers your plants with the strength they need to thrive, whether they’re in their early growth stages, recovering from stress, or reaching peak flowering potential.
Whats Inside and Why
Kelp Extract - Kelp is a rich source of potassium, trace minerals, and natural growth hormones. It promotes vigorous root development, enhances stress resilience, and supports overall plant health by improving chlorophyll production, essential for lush, green foliage.
Fish Emulsion - Provides a natural boost of nitrogen, encouraging robust vegetative growth and leafy development. This nutrient-rich ingredient enhances plant metabolism and supports early-stage growth, laying the foundation for a healthy, vibrant plant.
Humic Acid - Binds to essential minerals, making them more available for plant absorption. It improves nutrient uptake, increases microbial activity, and supports strong root and leaf growth by enhancing soil structure and nutrient retention.
Magnesium Sulfate - Supplies magnesium and sulfur, two critical components for photosynthesis and enzyme production. Magnesium aids chlorophyll formation, while sulfur supports amino acid synthesis, making this ingredient crucial for greener, more vigorous foliage.
APSU Micronutrient Blend - (Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Copper, Boron, Molybdenum, Cobalt) - This carefully balanced blend of trace minerals prevents common deficiencies and supports robust plant growth. Iron aids chlorophyll synthesis for vibrant foliage, while manganese, zinc, and copper enhance photosynthesis, protein synthesis, and disease resistance. Boron strengthens cell walls and aids reproductive growth, particularly during flowering and fruiting, and molybdenum improves nitrogen fixation and usage. Cobalt supports nitrogen metabolism, rounding out this essential mix for healthy, thriving plants.
Yucca Extract - Acts as a natural surfactant, improving the foliar spray’s spread and absorption across leaf surfaces. It also reduces plant stress, enhances water uptake, and ensures even nutrient distribution.
Citric Acid - Adjusts pH optimizing nutrient availability and ensuring effective absorption. It also serves as a natural preservative, enhancing the stability and longevity of the foliar spray solution.
How to FoliarFeed
To prepare FoliarFeed™ for application, dilute the concentrate according to your desired spray volume. The recommended base dilution rate is 1/2 cup (4 oz) of FoliarFeed™ concentrate per gallon of water. This will provide an optimal nutrient balance for general foliar feeding.
Application Instructions:
Timing: For best results, apply FoliarFeed™ during early morning or late evening when the plant’s stomata (tiny pores on leaves) are open, allowing for maximum nutrient absorption. Avoid application during the heat of the day to prevent leaf burn.
Frequency: Apply FoliarFeed™ every 7-10 days during the active growing season. If plants are under nutrient stress, recovering from pest damage, or experiencing environmental challenges, apply every 5 days to provide additional support.
Method: Use a fine mist sprayer to evenly coat both the top and underside of the leaves, where nutrient absorption is most effective. Ensure a gentle mist that doesn’t oversaturate the leaves but provides thorough coverage.
Special Instructions for Specific Stages:
Vegetative Stage: Use the standard dilution rate for leafy, vegetative growth.
Flowering: To support flowering or fruiting plants, you can maintain the standard dilution rate but consider increasing application frequency slightly to support heavier nutrient demands during this stage.
Storage: Store any unused concentrate in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve its effectiveness. Once diluted, use within 24 hours for maximum potency, as the solution may lose effectiveness over time.
