General Hydroponics Diamond Nectar 0-1-1 - 6gal

Humic Acid Supplement for Improved Mineral Uptake, 6gal

Immobile minerals can sit in a growing medium without ever reaching a plant's root system if nothing in the feeding program helps carry them across the root membrane. General Hydroponics Diamond Nectar 0-1-1 is a humic acid-based supplement for hydroponic and soil use, using the chelating action of humic acids to bind those immobile minerals and improve their absorption at the root zone.

The 6gal size suits growers feeding Diamond Nectar to a larger number of plants who want fewer reorders between refills.

Key Features & Benefits

• 0-1-1 humic acid formula — chelates immobile minerals so more of the nutrient program reaches the root zone.
• Hydroponic and soil use — formulated to work across both hydroponic systems and soil gardens.
• Root-zone mineral support — improves absorption of minerals that would otherwise stay bound in the medium.
• Overall plant nutrition support — adds a humic-acid layer to an existing feeding program rather than replacing it.

Who Should Use Diamond Nectar

Growers who suspect minerals are locked up in their medium, or who simply want to improve how much of their existing feeding program actually reaches the root zone, are the fit for Diamond Nectar. It works in both hydroponic and soil setups.

About General Hydroponics

Lawrence Brooke founded General Hydroponics in 1976, and the California-based company has spent decades developing liquid nutrient and supplement formulas for hydroponic and soil growers alike; Hawthorne Gardening Company, a Scotts Miracle-Gro subsidiary, acquired the brand in 2015.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is humic acid and why does it matter?

Humic acid is an organic compound that binds, or chelates, minerals that would otherwise stay immobile in a growing medium, making them easier for roots to absorb. Diamond Nectar uses that chelating action to improve how much of an existing nutrient program actually reaches the plant.

How is Diamond Nectar different from a standard fertilizer?

Diamond Nectar is not a standalone fertilizer; it is a 0-1-1 supplement built around humic acid rather than a full macronutrient blend. It is meant to be added to an existing nutrient program to improve mineral uptake, not to replace that program.

Can I use Diamond Nectar in soil and hydroponic systems?

Yes, it is formulated for use in both hydroponic and soil growing setups. Follow the label's dilution rate for whichever medium you are feeding.

When should I add Diamond Nectar to my feeding schedule?

It can be added throughout the growing cycle as part of a regular feeding schedule rather than during one specific window. Many growers include it every feeding alongside their base nutrients.

Will Diamond Nectar replace my cal-mag or base nutrients?

No, it supports overall plant nutrition by improving mineral uptake, but it does not supply the macronutrients or secondary nutrients a base program and cal-mag supplement provide. Keep those products in your feeding schedule alongside Diamond Nectar.
