How do bloom boosters work?
With the arrival of spring, when everything is in bloom, it's the ideal time to discuss what a bloom booster, or flowering stimulator, is good for. Flowering stimulators excel at extracting the maximum potential from the essence of the cultivated plants in terms of aroma, volume and color.
When you add to your plants' watering suitable additives, whether purely organic based or in a combined organo-mineral form, nature will take care of the rest and the result will be a magnificent feast for all the senses!
The goal of every grower in indoor and outdoor conditions is beautiful, lush flowering, or juicy fruits filled with pronounced — and when using BIO nutritional supplements, unusually natural taste. That's why an effective flowering stimulator should definitely not be missing from your plants' nutrition.
Stimulants and activators for flowering, or bloom boosters, can mainly be distinguished by their composition, which also has a decisive influence on their specific effects. In general terms, 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 bloom boosters are typically made on a base of primary nutrients (N-P-K) and the base formula 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 bloom booster Green Sensation from the popular brand Plagron. Besides substances that support flower formation, it also contains ingredients that help the plant absorb nutrients better, namely hydrolyzed milk protein, the sodium salt of EDTA and lactic acid. The result is a strengthened cellular structure of the plants, which will positively affect your yield even if your plants have recently been exposed to abiotic stress. Large flower clusters, faster ripening of crops and overall higher yields are also delivered at a reasonable price by the popular Grotek Monster Bloom. It dissolves very well in water, so it's a pleasure to add to your watering. Its unique composition is a source of wonderful aroma and taste of freshly grown crops or herbs, and you'll also appreciate it if you grow ornamental flowers at home. It also contributes to the production of essential oils.
Additives that accelerate plant metabolism during the flowering and fruiting phase can also be used if you want to grow BIO herbs, fruits or vegetables. A typical representative that many growers swear by is BIOCANNA BOOST, produced in laboratories by multiple controlled fermentations of plant raw materials. It enhances photosynthesis and increases the production of simple sugars. Besides faster metabolic conversion, you will also achieve an increase in your plants' natural defenses. The universal bio bloom booster can be safely combined with any fertilizers and cultivation systems.
Booster from the Terra Aquatica brand (formerly General Hydroponics) activates friendly microorganisms in the soil, or more precisely in the plant's root system, where they directly support the plant's natural development and stimulate its immune system.
As a mineral supplement to classic, full-nutrient bloom fertilizers the product GET Power to Bloom is used. It is especially employed in hydroponic systems.
Finally, we have perhaps the best tip for you. How about a universal booster that actively participates in the growth process and subsequent flower formation from the very first day of planting? Sounds good? It is also compatible with BIO-quality yields. Its name is: X-cel Booster and it belongs to the top-tier products from the popular Dutch brand BioNova with an emphasis on an ecological approach to manufacturing processes. Not only does it promise up to 20% richer flowers, but you can confidently apply it regardless of which substrate you prefer.
