    SHOGUN: the Best British Fertilisers with a Focus on Research

    Unlock the genetic potential of your plants! The innovative British fertiliser manufacturer and proud sponsor of Prague Cannafest 2021 is among the TOP 20 most popular brands among growers from around the world. Unique nutrition for plants of all kinds has just expanded our range, and in this article you will find detailed information about the individual products as well as how to use them in practice.

    SHOGUNcover

    The SHOGUN company has its own scientific team, and its biochemists under the leadership of Dr. Callie Seaman always work on the basis of practical input from professional growers. All products of this brand, which are used every month by 87 million growers from 190 countries, are thoroughly and independently tested in third-party laboratories to ensure the consistency of every batch. The exceptional technical sophistication and super-stable, reliable composition of these products can also pleasantly surprise with their favourable price, as you can see HERE.

    SHOGUN fertilisers stand out for their specific composition, which includes, among other things, original ingredients that stimulate plant development:

    - SmartZen®: a maximiser that demonstrably increases yields by up to 8% (compared with nutrition with the same NPK content, but without SMARTZEN) and which was developed over a symbolic 8 years. SmartZen increases chlorophyll density and the photosynthetic activity of plants. Among other things, it also significantly reduces the impact of temperature fluctuations in the growing environment on plants.

    - AquaZen®: without this technology, in the case of ordinary fertilisers, nutrients sink to the bottom of the roots with little dispersion and tend to be washed away, which the AQUAZEN component effectively prevents. Thanks to it, nutrients penetrate the growing medium to the maximum possible extent. The result is much better use of fertilisers - your plants absorb much more of them!

    SHOGUNAquazen

    Now let us introduce this hot new product on the Czech market in more detail through the individual products, including their key features and ingredients. We will begin with the most advanced base fertilisers (HYDRO, COCO, TERRA) for individual growing methods, followed by other unmistakable preparations for a fantastic harvest, which perfectly complement one another.

    - SHOGUN SAMURAI HYDRO: two-component hydroponic fertilisers for the VEGETATIVE and FLOWERING phase. Ideal for more experienced growers who need full control over the entire nutrition process. Growers also appreciate the fact that the SHOGUN range of hydroponic fertilisers is available in versions for hard or soft water.

    - SHOGUN SAMURAI COCO: two-component fertilisers for growing in coco throughout the entire growing cycle, synergistically combining the benefits of the above-mentioned original SmartZen and AquaZen ingredients.

    - SHOGUN SAMURAI TERRA: for growing in soil and soil substrates, these two-component fertilisers are used for GROWTH or FLOWER. The universal TERRA range is suitable whether you water plants grown in soil with hard or soft water.

     SHOGUNhydro

    SHOGUN START: fertiliser for easy and rapid rooting of seedlings and cuttings, which provides young plants with all the key micro and macro elements in the early stages of development, when they are still weak and vulnerable.

    • KEY INGREDIENTS
      • Boron and calcium in an ideal ratio
      • SMARTZEN (see above) - a blend of unique carbohydrate compounds and elements that have remarkable effects on the growth of your crops.
      • Trace elements, which are commonly overlooked but have a fundamental impact on the development of young plants.
      • Humic acids and fulvic acids
    • KEY FEATURES
      • Faster germination and root formation
      • Increased movement of auxins from the leaf tip to the root point

    SHOGUN KATANA ROOTS: root stimulator for healthy root mass, enabling explosive growth of your plants. A great solution for the process of cutting propagation and cultivation of plants from seed creates the most effective mechanism of absorption of nutrients you could wish for.

      • Key Ingredients:
        • Green seaweed extract – a mix of beneficial vitamins (including biotin and thiamine, also known as B12), amino acids and hormones
      • KEY FEATURES
        • Faster germination and formation of white roots
        • Extra-fast vegetative growth in every substrate
        • More active roots and more vital crops
        • Complex structure for maximally efficient nutrient uptake
        • Revitalisation of wilting plants by applying spray directly to the leaves

      SHOGUN ZENZYM: enzymatic fertiliser for the growth and flowering phase, which speeds up the decomposition of dead roots and continuously keeps your plants' root system healthy and clean. It also releases locked nutrients from dead matter and allows plants to reuse them. This dramatically increases nutrient uptake, which you will soon notice in your crop!

      • KEY INGREDIENTS
        • Enzymes or organic molecules that have biological activity and essentially function as a catalyst. Cellulase breaks down cellulose, producing glucose and other simple sugars. Xylanase breaks down the main components of plant cell walls. Ferulic acid supports cell wall strength.
        • KEY FEATURES

          SHOGUN GEISHA FOLIAR: a unique preparation for a bountiful harvest, whose technically advanced composition allows completely safe use already during the vegetative phase. It supports plant metabolism and increases water absorption. You can then expect exceptionally large and fragrant flowers or tasty fruits. This preparation, which is used every 2 weeks, does not need to be diluted or have its pH adjusted.

          Among other additives from the SHOGUN brand is also the indispensable CALMAG, which is hard to find a competitor for among products for calcium and magnesium supplementation (especially thanks to the better ratio of these minerals) and, like armour protecting a samurai warrior, SHOGUN SILICON strengthens your plants and makes them significantly more resistant to pest attacks or the occurrence of plant diseases. Both preparations stand out for their highly refined mineral source. Another additive fertiliser, made using high-quality agrominerals and special organic acids, is called PK WARRIOR 9/18, for increasing the production of fruits and flowers.

          The ripening processes during the late flowering stage are perfectly accelerated and supported by the sulphur-based preparation enhanced with nitrogen DRAGON FORCE. It also increases the production of secondary metabolites, raises the calcium content in flowers, increases the concentration of copper in plant tissues and stimulates the natural defence of plants. 

          If you are looking for a hydroponic biostimulant whose composition is so effective that it deserves comparison with SUMO fighters, be sure to try SUMO ACTIVE BOOST. This booster is absolutely ideal if you use hydroponic systems. It was created to remain stable in the tank for two weeks. Not only does it bring the taste and overall quality of your crop to the maximum, but through sophisticated technology to prevent fermentation in tanks and clogging of capillaries

          • KEY INGREDIENTS
            • Triacontanol (waxy leaf cuticles)
            • Green seaweed extract
            • Plant hormones and brassinosteroids
          • KEY FEATURES
            • Emulsion concentrate composed of the natural compound triacontanol and plant extract sustainably obtained from the South Atlantic
            • Stimulation of efficient absorption of nutrients and photosynthesis
            • Higher content of sugars, proteins, resins and terpenes in cultivated crops
