Root Stimulants
Why your plants need a Root Stimulant
One in week one beats a bloom booster in week eight. Seaweed, amino acids and B vitamins that tell the plant to put its energy into roots while it is still deciding.

It is not a nutrient
Seaweed, amino acids and B vitamins. It is not feeding the plant, it is giving it instructions.
It changes what the plant builds
Energy goes into roots instead of leaves, while the plant is still deciding what to put it into.
The window is transplant to early veg
After that your plant has picked its root size and you are paying for leaves.
The week matters more than the bottle
Everything the plant does for the rest of the run goes through those roots, which is why a stimulant in week one beats a booster in week eight. The same bottle in week six of flower does almost nothing.
A stimulant is not feeding the plant. It is telling it what to work on.
Only worth reading if the pick above is not you.

I am in week three of flower, too late?
Microbes
The other half of the job. A stimulant builds roots, a microbe extends their reach.
See the microbe rangeCal-Mag
New root growth pulls calcium hard, and coco under LED runs short first.

Roots build the plant. Silica is what lets the stem hold what the roots grew.

Once the plant has picked its root size you are paying for leaves. All in stock, ships today.
