Enzymes are catalysts that are present in nature to help break down dead matter into sugars and carbohydrates that living organisms can process and use as nutrients. In the case of plants, this means that an enzyme that is present will breakdown dead root matter, for example, and turn it into sugars and carbs that the clean root surface can then immediately send up to the plant as food.  Research has shown that chitinases, proteases, hydrolases, glucanases and cellulases are the best enzymes for plant roots.

Enzymes are good for any type of medium, as it is there to help clean roots as well as make available all present nutrients in the feeding schedule.  While you may be adding all the essential nutrients your plants need in your regimen, if you are not adding some type of plant specific enzyme to your routine, you cannot guarantee that your plants are actually receiving all those essential nutrients.

Enzymes are organic, therefore, if you have been promoting beneficial microbes in your root’s environment, the byproducts of the catalysts are also available for nutrients to the beneficial microbes, as well. So it’s clear that having an enzyme in your nutrient regimen is not only essential, but critical to maintaining a clean root environment. Come by and we will be glad to assist you in showing you all of our enzyme products. Remember…We Grow better!

There’s a proverbial saying we often hear, “more roots more fruits.” What good are the fruits of your labor if it’s not bountiful? It’s up to the grower to provide a quick and efficient way for accelerated root proliferation during the first stages of growth. Think of this as a window of opportunity to build up a large root mass before it slows down in the first couple weeks of its flowering cycle. Fortunately, there are products out there targeted specifically to “accelerate” this process.

So what are the ingredients of the these root accelerator products? Respective to brands, they are basically an array of blends containing but not limited to natural plant extracts, amino acids, vitamin B1/B2, beneficial microbes, and trace elements. With the advancement of science and research, we as cultivators have an advantage that many horticulturists in the past had to figure out. So why not take advantage and use these components to take it to the next level?

Let’s go over the anatomy and process of a healthy root system. You have your primary main root. You then have the secondary root which branches off and serves as an alternate to the main root. These two conduits work in conjunction with the smaller feeder roots to provide access where they cannot reach. The much finer hair-like feeder roots are the ones responsible for the initial uptake of water and nutrients. The more of these feeder roots there are, the more the plant can feed itself and thrive. So while the primary and secondary root grows, the finer feeder roots is then responsible for drawing in sustenance. What a harmonious relationship.

Let this be a lesson that can be so simple. A root accelerator is not only essential but necessary for a more plentiful harvest. Especially when your allotted a certain period of time to reap in the most you possibly can. If you are in your early stages of growth, having a root accelerator is a must. There’s a myriad of great products to choose from and we will direct you to the ones that best fit you. You can do custom blends of products to help you bolster growth for both the primary and feeder roots as well. Call or come in and we’ll help you accelerate this process together. In the wise words of my predecessor, keep it green and keep it growing…
