• Why and when should you reach for a flowering stimulator?

An effective bloom stimulator has an irreplaceable and firm place in plant nutrition! The goal of every grower in indoor and outdoor conditions is a beautiful, lush and fragrant flowering, or juicy fruits packed with intense flavor. The aroma or taste of grown fruit, vegetables or herbs can, with the use of BIO nutritional supplements, be not only more intense but — thanks to purely natural composition — also truly natural.

1. Organo-mineral bloom boosters are usually made on a base of primary nutrients (N-P-K), with that base often enriched with various beneficial substances (trace elements, amino acids, vitamins, etc.) or microorganisms (rhizobacteria, mycorrhizal fungi, etc.). A high proportion of basic nutrients is contained, for example, in the bloom stimulator Grotek Monster Bloom.
2. If you want to grow herbs, fruit or vegetables in organic quality, you will need a bloom booster whose composition is 100% natural. An organic bloom booster is, for example, BIOCANNA BIOBOOST, produced in laboratories by multiple controlled fermentations of plant raw materials. It enhances photosynthesis and increases the production of simple sugars. Besides faster metabolic turnover you will also achieve an increase in the natural resistance of your plants. This bloom bio booster can be safely combined with any fertilizers and cultivation systems.
3. As a mineral supplement to classic, full-nutrient bloom fertilizers, GET Power to Bloom is used. It is especially useful in hydroponic systems.

• The first is the universal bloom booster Green Sensation from the popular brand Plagron. You can read everything essential about it in a separate article: PLAGRON - cultivating should be fun for beginners and professionals. In addition to substances that support flower formation it also contains ingredients that help the plant better absorb nutrients, such as hydrolyzed milk protein, sodium EDTA salt and lactic acid. The result is a strengthened cell structure in the plant, which will positively affect your yield even if your plants have been exposed to abiotic stress.

• Advanced Nutrients Big Bud Liquid. For growing plants in coco there is Big Bud Coco Liquid. And if you want to increase your plants' potential by 50–70%, definitely try Bud Ignitor! (A separate article covers these products from the American manufacturer in detail: Advanced Nutrients – hydroponic fertilizers with pH regulation).

• Among the long-term best-selling bloom stimulators are also Atami ATA Bloombastic (organo-mineral) and Atami B’cuzz Bloom Stimulator (100% natural).

We covered the full Shogun Fertilisers range in a separate article titled SHOGUN: the best British fertilizers with emphasis on research.

TIP at the end: How about a universal booster that actively participates in both growth and subsequent flower formation from the very first day of planting? Sounds good?
