Why should I add Formula Gro 40 to my grow?
Formula Gro 40 empowers plant aerobic respiration and nutrient absorption for accelerated plant growth, health, and productivity. Oxygen is the rate limiting factor (1) for active transport of nutrients across the plant cell wall (2). It is essential for root formation and overall plant growth (3). Optimization of oxygen levels is an essential cultivation tool (4) that guarantees faster, healthier growth resulting in significantly more yield.
So isn’t this the same as hydrogen peroxide?
No, Formula Gro 40 is not hydrogen peroxide. It is a supersaturated oxygen additive that safely gives your plants oxygen, without altering pH or temperature. A pH balanced buffer, Formula Gro 40 will not burn your plants.
Will Formula Gro 40 maintain its oxygenation level even after opened?
Yes, Formula Gro 40 is an oxygen-rich concentrate that remains supersaturated and stable even after opening.
What growing mediums can it be used in?
Formula Gro 40 can be used in all mediums (soil, hydroponic, and any other growing medium) and on any crop.
Can I use Formula Gro 40 as a foliar spray?
Yes, use Formula Gro 40 as a foliar feed for a direct boost of invigorating oxygen to the leaves. An ailing plant will perk up quite visibly after spraying with Formula Gro 40. As Danny Danko of High Times says, “Foliar feeding or misting plants…It’s like adding an invisible force field around your plants.”
Will Formula Gro 40 help nutrient lockout?
Yes, Formula Gro 40 helps plants recover from nutrient lockout and will create and maintain a more balanced environment within the root zone to ensure a healthier, more productive plant.
Will Formula Gro 40 help fungal disease?
Yes, Formula Gro 40 will not harm beneficial bacteria and helps keep your plant vibrant and strong. Higher levels of oxygen create a healthy grow environment to keep disease and powdery mildew away.
Will Formula Gro 40 help to increase the number of trichomes?
Yes! Higher uptake of oxygen, hence greater nutrient absorption, creates more trichomes. Using Formula Gro 40 in your feeding solution and as a foliar spray will increase the quality, fullness, and richness of trichomes on your plant.
