Plants use large quantities of N, and most mineral substrates simply cannot supply enough to give satisfactory plant performance. N is the important element giving your plants their healthy green color.

    is a solution that contains a high concentration of Phosphorus (P) which is one of the three major nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium - N:P:K) required by plants.

Pfertz K $15.99

    is a solution that contains a high concentration of Potassium (K) which is one of the three major nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium - N:P:K) required by plants.

The rate of plant growth depends on the rate of photosynthesis and the rate of respiration, and K also activates enzymes needed to form starch and proteins.
