    Green House Feeding: Mineral or Biological Plant Nutrition in Powder Form

    Very simple and quick to apply, high nutrient concentration and excellent results. That is a brief summary of the reasons why an increasing number of growers prefer to use fertilisers and powdered supplements. Among other things, they praise the high quality of flowers with an intense aroma and higher yields.

    Do you grow strictly organic, or do you prefer mineral plant nutrition? The answer to this question will determine which products from this innovative Dutch manufacturer will pleasantly surprise you in practice and what the specifics are for their correct use. Let us begin!

    What are the advantages of powdered fertiliser?

    Many growers and gardeners have used liquid fertilisers for years, and powdered plant nutrition represents an experiment and a step into the unknown for them. The following summary of their benefits answers the common question our customers therefore ask us:

    • Solubility and absorbability
    • Lower costs for complete nutrition
    • Easier transport and storage
    • Simpler use (ideal for beginners!)
    • Longer shelf life

    It should be added that, in the case of plant nutrition in powder form from Green House Feeding, you can also rely on consistent quality as well as the quality of the raw materials originating from Switzerland and Germany.

    We will now focus on the differences between the mineral and 100% natural range of these unique fertilisers and additives. In both cases, dosage tables will also help you with their application.

    Green House Bio Feeding (organic plant nutrition in powder form)

    We support ecology, so let us begin with the purely organic range.

      • BioGrow
        • BioGrow needs to be mixed into the substrate.
        • You can use the basic biological powdered fertiliser for plant growth in soil, coco and other growing media by mixing it into the substrate.
        • It can be used immediately after transplanting a young plant, or you can add it later as a “top dressing”, which you mix into the top layer of the substrate.
        • Nutrients are released in the growing medium for 8 weeks, but the more pre-fertilised your soil mix is, the less of this nutritionally rich powder you will need in the first few weeks. The dosage tables will help you again.
        • Seedlings and young plants up to a maximum age of 3 weeks always need only half the dose.
        • If the growth period is longer, we recommend a second application.
        • BioGrow can form mycelium of a beneficial fungus on the surface of the substrate, improving microbial life inside the substrate. It dissolves minerals that are not initially available to plants. This fungus disappears on its own after a few days, and it would be a mistake to remove it from the substrate.
      • BioBloom
        • As far as use is concerned, the same rules apply to the basic biological powdered fertiliser for flowering as in the case of Bio Grow.
        • Thanks to the high concentration and excellent availability of nutrients contained in Bio Bloom powder, only a single application is enough for 8 weeks of flowering.
      • Bio Enhancer
        • Mix Bio Enhancer with water and apply it regularly to your plants with every watering throughout the entire growing cycle in combination with Green House Feeding bio nutrition for growth or flowering.
        • Thanks to humic acids and seaweed extract, you support the root system, the plant’s overall defence, and the quality and volume of the resulting harvest. That is what we call a universal organic powder supplement.

    Green House Powder Feeding (mineral base fertilisers and additives in powder form)

    • All products from the mineral range of Green House Powder Feeding can be used for any growing medium.
    • They are all worth it, whether we are talking about basic nutrition for growth or flowering, or for example the bestseller Green House Powder Feeding Booster, which is much more effective than most liquid boosters.
    • The application of mineral nutrition is quite different from the organic range above, and therefore before using mineral powdered fertiliser we again recommend looking at the dosage tables.
    • If you use hydroponic or aeroponic systems and use a growing medium other than soil, we also recommend precise pH and EC metres. Reliable measuring equipment allows you full control over the concentration of the nutrient solution, so you can enjoy the results that are so easy to achieve with these fertilisers.
    • Because using the mineral range of GHS Powder Feeding is not as intuitive as the Bio feeding range, here is a guide on how to easily mix a nutrient solution based on minerals:
      • Check the pH and EC value of the water and make sure its temperature is between 18-22 degrees Celsius.
      • You should also check whether your water contains enough calcium.
      • If the EC is 0.0 (when using water from reverse osmosis, or rainwater), you must add calcium before adding the powdered fertiliser to the water. Then make sure the EC level has risen to 0.3-0.4 EC.
      • Add Powder Feeding. Mix the solution well for 2-3 minutes, then measure the EC value again. Repeat if necessary until you reach the desired value.
      • Once you reach the desired EC value, wait 15-30 minutes.
      • Then measure the pH and, if necessary, adjust it further using pH up or pH down – mix well for 2-3 minutes and wait another 15-30 minutes before measuring.
      • Once you reach the desired values, treat your plants to luxurious nutrition!
    • A major advantage of the mineral range of Green House Powder Feeding is the fact that if you mix a larger amount of highly concentrated nutrient solution at once, you can safely store it for several months.
