A scientifically formulated blend of quick release and slowly available nitrogen combined with proprietary forms of pigment for foliar uptake, improving general plant health and shoot growth. A very low salt index formulation optimizes root and foliar uptake. The liquid slow release nitrogen provides an even and consistent 6 to 8 week feed, avoiding issues associated with a surge of growth. Hydra-Gro fastens to the plant, where it is broken down and absorbed by stomatal openings.
