How do flower boosters work?
With the arrival of spring, when everything is in bloom, it is the ideal time to discuss what a flower booster, or flowering stimulator, is good for. Flowering stimulators stand out for their ability to draw the maximum potential from the essence of the cultivated plant in terms of fragrance, volume and colour.
When you add suitable additives to your plants’ feed, whether on a purely organic basis or in a combined organo-mineral form, nature will take care of the rest and the result will be a splendid feast for all the senses!
The aim of every grower in indoor and outdoor conditions is beautiful, lush flowering, or juicy fruits packed with a pronounced and, when using BIO nutritional supplements, also an unusually natural flavour. That is why an effective flowering stimulator should definitely not be missing from your plants’ nutrition.
Flowering stimulators and activators, or flower boosters, can be distinguished mainly by their composition, which also has a fundamental influence on their specific effects. In general, flowering stimulators work with the plant by primarily stimulating its metabolism and increasing the efficiency of nutrient uptake, or by activating the activity of beneficial microorganisms in the substrate.
Organo-mineral flower boosters are usually made on the basis of basic nutrients (N-P-K), and the composition is most often enriched with various beneficial substances and trace elements, such as amino acids, vitamins or even flowering hormones. Such additives include, for example, the professional yet affordable flower booster Green Sensation from the popular brand Plagron. In addition to substances that support flower formation, it also contains substances that help the plant absorb nutrients better, namely hydrolysed milk protein, sodium EDTA salt and lactic acid. The result is a strengthened cellular structure of the plant, which will also have a positive effect on your harvest if your plants have recently been exposed to abiotic stress. The popular Grotek Monster Bloom will also bring you large flower clusters, faster ripening of crops and generally higher yields at a reasonable price. It dissolves very well in water, so it is a pleasure to add it to the feed. Its unique composition is a source of wonderful fragrance and flavour in freshly grown agricultural crops or herbs, but you will also appreciate it if you grow ornamental flowers at home. Among other things, it contributes to the formation of essential oils.
Additives that speed up plant metabolism during the flowering and fruiting phase can also be used if you want to grow BIO herbs, fruit or vegetables. A typical representative, which many growers swear by, is BIOCANNA BOOST, produced in laboratories through multiple controlled fermentation of plant raw materials. It enhances photosynthesis and increases the production of simple sugars. In addition to faster metabolism, you will also achieve an increase in the natural resistance of your plants. You can safely combine the universal bio flower booster with any fertilisers and growing systems.
The booster from the Terra Aqutica brand (formerly General Hydroponics) activates friendly microorganisms in the soil, or in the plant’s root system, where they directly support natural plant development and stimulate its immune system.
As a mineral supplement to classic, full-nutrition flower fertilisers, GET Power to Bloom is used. It is used especially in hydroponic systems.
Finally, we have prepared perhaps the best tip of all for you. What would you say to a universal booster that actively participates in the process of growth and subsequent flower formation from the very first day of planting? Sounds good? It is not incompatible with BIO-quality harvests either. Its name is: X-cel Booster and it belongs among the first-class products from the popular Dutch brand BioNova, with an emphasis on an ecological approach to production processes. Not only does it promise flowers up to 20% richer, but you can also apply it confidently regardless of which substrate you prefer.
We have explained how such a flower booster works, what its use will bring to your plants, and we have added a few tips from our range that will help you achieve higher yields.
