General Hydroponics Purpinator® 32oz

Flavonoid and Pigmentation Support Supplement, 32oz

General Hydroponics Purpinator is a specialty supplement the manufacturer markets as supporting the natural production of flavonoids and secondary metabolites in capable plant varieties. GH's own product copy states Purpinator travels to plant epidermal cells after application and is stored there with the help of what GH calls "bioosmotic potentiators" — the manufacturer's own term for this delivery mechanism.

Compatible with any base nutrient line, Purpinator is suitable for hydroponic, soil, and soilless growing environments. The 32oz format suits growing operations of varying scale.

Key Features & Benefits

• Flavonoid and pigment support: GH markets Purpinator as feeding the biochemical pathways responsible for flavonoid production in capable cultivars.
• Neutral plant cell pH: formulated by GH to help maintain a neutral intracellular pH, supporting enzymatic activity during flowering.
• Universal compatibility: use with General Hydroponics nutrients or any third-party feed regimen.
• Pairs with Terpinator: many growers combine both for broader secondary-metabolite support.

Who Should Use This

Purpinator is a choice for growers interested in supporting the pigmentation and aromatic potential of their cultivars. If your genetics have purple-capable traits, Purpinator is GH's supplement aimed at that expression, but results depend on the plant's own genetic potential.

Compatibility

Compatible with: General Hydroponics Flora Series, MaxiGro, MaxiBloom, and all other GH nutrients, as well as third-party nutrient programs. Safe for hydroponic, soil, and soilless (coco, rockwool, perlite) growing environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Purpinator actually do?

Purpinator is General Hydroponics' own specialty supplement, marketed as supporting flavonoid and secondary metabolite production in plants, including purple pigmentation in capable cultivars. GH also describes it as helping maintain neutral plant cell pH to support biochemical function.

Is Purpinator different from Terpinator?

Yes — while both are GH secondary-metabolite supplements, Purpinator specifically targets flavonoid production and pigmentation expression in cultivars with that genetic potential. Terpinator, by contrast, focuses primarily on terpene and resinous oil enhancement.

How do I add Purpinator to my existing nutrient program?

Purpinator is designed to be compatible with any base nutrient program — mix it in at the recommended rate alongside your regular feeding solution. It is not a complete fertilizer, so use it as a supplement rather than a replacement for your primary feeding regimen.

Will Purpinator turn all plants purple?

No — color expression depends on the genetic potential of your specific cultivar. Purpinator supports the biochemical pathways for flavonoid and pigment production, but only genetics with purple-capable traits will show enhanced coloration.

Is this product safe for all growing systems?

Yes — Purpinator is formulated for use in hydroponic, soil, and soilless growing environments. Always follow label directions for application rates and timing.
