Feeding Vitamins To Your Plants Gives You Big Rewards, Especially At Harvest Time
You’ve
given your plants the best environment, and you feed them nutrients
especially designed for hydroponics. Now you’re interested in reports
that vitamins make your plants stronger, more productive and
bigger-yielding.
To find out
exactly how vitamins help your plants grow and produce better,
scientists test identical clones side by side in identical systems. The
clones are fed the same diet, except that half of the clones receive a
vitamin that the other clones do not receive. Both sets of clones are
closely monitored during growth and after harvest. Scientists take plant
tissue samples to measure plant nutrient absorption, and overall plant
health. Total yield size, quality and essential oil content are also
measured. Using statistical analysis and other criteria, scientists
determine if the vitamin had any effects, and if so, what those effects
are.
How B Vitamins Improve Your Plants and Your Yield
Fortunately
our scientists have repeatedly run hydroponics tests, and their
findings demonstrate many B vitamin benefits for your plants, including:
Folic
Acid breaks down easily in plants especially under intense lighting, so
it’s a good idea to supplemental feed Folic Acid to your plants. Tests
show that Folic upgrades the weight and quality of your harvest.
Vitamin B5 is essential for fundamental cellular processes.
Vitamin
B1 (Thiamine) helps your plants use and create carbohydrates so your
plants have enough energy to build strong vegetative growth and
essential oils. It also facilitates your plants’ use of phosphate, which
is an essential nutrient that fuels flower growth. B1 activates
Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR), which is the same benefit that
happens in humans when a vaccination produces a pre-emptively increased
immune response to future infections. What’s more, B1 assists in root
development so your plants intake more nutrients faster, and are more
resistant to shock, transplanting, cloning.
Why Your Plants Need Extra B Vitamins for Survival and Production
As
you can see, B vitamins are absolutely essential- without them, your
plants die. Of course, it’s logical to ask if plants can synthesize or
derive enough B vitamins from nutrients you feed them.
The
answer is that your plants can synthesize some B vitamins from
nutrients, but they can’t synthesize enough nutrients fast enough to
achieve your goals of harvests. Truth be told, the very same things that
make you a superior gardener (by pushing your plants to their maximum
potential) also push plants past their natural ability to produce all
the vitamins they need for good health and championship performance. So
when you provide pre-made vitamins, your plants have less metabolic work
to do because they don’t have to make their entire supply of B vitamins
themselves. Besides, studies show that when plants are fatigued (which
is when they most need B vitamins), that’s when they are least able to
make their own vitamins.
It’s
the same as why an Olympic athlete needs a higher-quality diet combined
with professional vitaminization, but a person who never exercises
doesn’t need such a rich diet or extra vitamins. In fact, B vitamins are
particularly useful when your plants are seedlings, new clones,
transplants, or in peak flowering.
Finding a B Vitamin Formula that Boosts Yield Too
What’s
really interesting is that our scientists discovered that a B vitamin
formula is an ideal platform for vitamin-rich components that double as
yield-boosting substances. Combine this with the crop protection
provided by:
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)
Enhances
systemic resistance so your plants are less susceptible to common grow
room contaminants that often disguise themselves as nutrient disorders
while insidiously harming your crops.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
An
essential substance that contributes to your plants basic life
functions. Insufficient amounts of B3 lead to slow growth, poor yields
and lowered disease resistance.
Vitamin B7 (Biotin)
Involved
in enzymatic activity, carbohydrate energy production and amino acid
synthesis. All three of these areas are implicated in the basic health
and productivity of your plants.
Your B Vitamin Formula Includes Plant Nutrition for Higher Yields
Compounded
with the B vitamins mentioned above, B-52 contains humates and other
sources of plant nutrition that are more easily absorbed by your plants
because they are administered with B vitamins. And these substances aid
the transference of B vitamins into your plants.
When
you’re using B-52, you’ll like the convenience of feeding its important
vitamins directly into leaves or roots. This root feed/foliar
convenience makes the healing, and protective effects of B vitamins to
immediately and completely available to your plants. Another factor that
makes this a winning formula is how B-52 works well for you in all
types of growing systems and root zone material, including aeroponics,
rockwool, soil, coco coir, hydroton, ebb and flow, and all the other
hydroponics gardening methods. This powerful vitamin formula increases
the payoff from your gardening.
