4 Types of Growers Who Should Use GreenPlanet Nutrients Dual Fuel

Committing to a brand of plant food is perhaps one of the most important decisions to be made in the garden. Choosing a specific fertilizer, whether it be organic, mineral-based, soluble or slow-release, will determine several different and varying outcomes throughout the growing periods of a plant’s lifecycle, and at harvest time. For example, if you choose to garden organically, this choice will affect the options of growing media and styles of cultivation compatible with organic fertilizers. The same reasoning applies to those who side with synthetic fertilizers, as some mineral-based fertilizers are labelled as “hydro-specific”, and are more or less recommended for use in coco, rockwool, or water-based mediums. 

However, among variants of mineral-based fertilizers available in today’s market, there is one that stands out to consumers as possibly the most concentrated, versatile and affordable base nutrient system – GreenPlanet Nutrients Dual Fuel. Whether you’re new to the trade or have been growing for decades, Dual Fuel can offer growers everywhere the simplicity and quality-driven results so desperately needed in the garden. Interested? The following is a list of growers who should be using GreenPlanet Nutrients Dual Fuel in the garden.

The Novice

Don’t be ashamed, if you’re a novice grower, dealing with liquid fertilizers for the first time is a challenge, especially when the stack of nutrients involves complicated ratios and constant pH balancing. As a beginner, all you need for a successful garden is two bottles: Dual Fuel 1 & 2. Plain and simple, it’s easy to use. Dual Fuel was designed to balance perfectly in water at a range of around 6.0 – 6.2; so, 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, the Dual Fuel base nutrient program can help save you time in your daily gardening routine, as well as the misfortune of feeding your plants at an undesirable pH range.

Even more attractive to beginners is the unmatched utility of Dual Fuel. In a sense, it’s foolproof. As mentioned above, the Dual Fuel base nutrient program was formulated to be used in a 1:1 ratio with each part, which means no matter the volume nutrient to be mixed, the ratio of Dual Fuel 1 & 2 will remain constant. This again saves the gardener time and headache, as feeding schedules are no longer required if you’re 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 fertilizer 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!

The Expert

If you’ve been gardening for years, it’s safe to say you’ve tried your fair share of liquid nutrient programs. Well, it’s time to stop searching for the perfect nutrient stack and settle on GreenPlanet Nutrients Dual Fuel. Just as Dual Fuel has its advantages for beginners, these attributes are multiplied when its aggressive formula is given to experts in the field. While beginners may be more zealous about trying different varieties of plant food, after years of cultivation, experts only look for a few things while purchasing fertilizers: complete ingredients, affordability and results. 

Lucky for experts growing with GreenPlanet, the Dual Fuel nutrient system fits this bill. Possibly the most complete 2-Part on the market, Dual Fuel 1 & 2 are packed full of essential elements for plant health. For instance, a brief consultation with the guaranteed analysis of ingredients will reveal the long list of compounds that go into each bottle. Not only does the Dual Fuel formulation have a balanced NPK ratio for vegetative and flowering growth, but the list of essential micronutrients in the bottles are vast, and include important elements like calcium, magnesium, sulphur, copper, zinc and more. 

The Commercial Grower

If you operate a large garden, you’re not doing it alone; it’s no secret that you need many hands to produce a quality-driven product. However, the overseer of a garden is responsible for many things, one of which is instructing the staff on the processes behind 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 of high-quality products. 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.

The Minimalist

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 the minimalist operator who is looking for an economical nutrient system that can produce consistent results.

Unlike indoor gardening hardware, like lighting equipment, ventilation gear and other environmental controls, fertilizer is something that is always being purchased. In response to this inevitability, GreenPlanet Nutrients formulated Dual Fuel, a program that attempts to shorten the periods between costly trips to the garden supply store. Dual Fuel’s hyper-concentration and easy mixing habits lead to less waste and more value per litre than any competitor on the market. In short, for all of us who value a minimalist perspective in the garden, there is no program simpler than GreenPlanet Nutrients Dual Fuel. Just add Dual Fuel in a 1:1 ratio at the recommended rate, and watch your plant explode with both vertical and lateral growth.

Products that Enhance Flowers During the Late-Stage and Flushing Period

Here’s a common question: how can I get the most out of my crop? The answer, however, isn’t so simple. To get the highest quality outcome, growers need to have an array of variables under control. Clearly, to obtain high yields while maintaining quality, genetic characteristics are by far the most important factor to consider. Environmental controls, growing systems, skills and preferences are also high on the list in a well-functioning garden. 

Once these controls are managed, only then should growers begin to experiment with a wide variety of nutrient supplements and fertilizers. While not as crucial as genetic quality, plant food does play an immensely important role in producing valuable and consistent crops. Throughout all stages of plant growth, crops need adequate and stable nutrition to reach their full potential. However, even the most experienced growers often overlook additives and supplements specifically formulated for amplifying late-stage and flushing flowers. Want to get the most out of your crop? Read the following passages on products that enhance late-stage and flushing flowers. 

The Late-Stage Flower and Flushing Period 

Depending on your strain, the “late-stage” and “flushing” periods of growth can be defined as anywhere from 2-3 weeks before harvest. In late-stage flower, around the 5th or 6th week of the flower cycle, nitrogen content has been significantly reduced from the feeding schedule, plants will have begun to exhibit their final shape and size, and the terpene profile, scents, aromas and flavours that are developed during the flowering period, will begin to drastically increase. The flushing period, however, as the name suggests, is responsible for flushing the plant’s system of any unwanted and hard to dissolve salts and usually spans the last 10-14 days before harvest. While the goal of these periods remains different, the ultimate objective of both the late-flowering and flushing period is to enhance the natural characteristics of your crop. 

Sourced from www.royalqueenseeds.com, Here is a cannabis plant in week 6 of flower, just before flushing.

Let’s look at some of the products that can exaggerate a crop’s size, terpene profile and trichome density in the final stages of flower. 

GreenPlanet Nutrients

Rezin

Bring fire to your crop with GreenPlanet’s trichome, flavour and aroma enhancer. Formulated with trace amounts of molybdenum and vitamin B1, Rezin can be used in both the flowering and flushing periods of growth to boost essential oil, trichome and resin content. Rezin contains no plant growth regulators (PGR’s), artificial colouring or dyes. And, since it contains only trace amounts of minerals, Rezin will not impact the EC/PPM of your nutrient solution, meaning it can be used right up until harvest.

Liquid Weight 

Plants use an amazing amount of energy converting fertilizer into energy. They also rely on microbes, or beneficial bacteria to speed up the processes of elemental conversion. These bacteria feed on an array of sugary, carbohydrates to maintain colonies of microbes in all stages of plant growth. For a consistent supply of carbohydrates, try GreenPlanet’s Liquid Weight. Designed specifically as a microbe food, Liquid Weight contains carbs from three natural sources of sugar: molasses, agave and cane sugar. And, being that Liquid Weight contains no sources of chemical salts, it can be used to reinvigorate microbes until the final days before harvest. 

General Hydroponics 

Flora Kleen  

Need to speed up the flushing process? No problem. Growers use General Hydroponics’ Flora Kleen to remove fertilizer residue that can accumulate in hydroponic systems, growing media and potting soils over time. Perfect as a monthly maintenance supplement for hydroponic systems, Flora Kleen releases the nutrient bond between plant and system, making it the ideal maintenance additive during the flushing process. So, if you find yourself having to harvest a few days ahead of schedule, rely on Flora Kleen to flush your plant of any harsh and hard to dissolve salts.

Flora Nectar Fruit-N-Fusion 

Growing plants, especially during flower, rapidly convert sunlight, water and minerals into sugars. General Hydroponics Flora Nectar Fruit-n-Fusion has been formulated with a combination of minerals, natural sugars and flavour enhancers to encourage the greatest transference of sweetness and aroma into your fruits and flowers. The unique elemental combination of Flora Nectar allows your plants to achieve a balance between respiration and photosynthesis in high-intensity growing environments where the rate of respiration can sometimes exceed the rate of photosynthesis. To help your plants reach their highest potential during late-stage flower, consider pumping them full of General Hydroponics’ Flora Nectar.

Botanicare 

Sweet  

Coming in multiple scents, including citrus, raw, berry and grape, Botanicare’s Sweet formula contains a unique combination of all-natural minerals, vital compounds and essential elements directly involved in plant photosynthesis and respiration. Use any Sweet additive during the late-stage and flushing period to assist your crop in producing profound flavours and aromas. Or, prime your plants with Sweet during the transition stage of growth to ease the stress caused by photoperiod change. 

Fish Head Farms 

Fish Sh!t Organic Soil Conditioner 

Fish Sh!t helps release essential oils and terpenes which contribute to the building of a myriad of flavonoids. Flavonoids play a key role in the development of the most potent aromas and tasteful flavours of a plant and its fruit. Fish Sh!t is hyper-concentrated and can be used throughout all stages of the plant life cycle, even helping to break down heavy salts left by synthetic fertilizers in the weeks before harvest. Use Fish Sh!t to increase yield, flavour and cannabinoid content during the later stages and flushing periods of flower.
