Growth Products Essential Plus 1-0-1 Fertilizer | 2.5gal

Biostimulant Soil Amendment for Germination and Rooting, 1-0-1

Plug production is a fragile stage where consistent germination and early rooting set the tone for everything after. Growth Products Essential Plus is a 1-0-1 soil amendment and root enhancer built from potassium humate, 21 natural L-amino acids, enzymes, sugars, and kelp extracts, recommended right at plug production.

2.5gal, potassium humate and amino acid biostimulant formula.

Key Features & Benefits

• 1-0-1 biostimulant with potassium humate and 21 L-amino acids — a broad-spectrum root and soil enhancer, not a primary NPK feed.
• Includes enzymes, sugars, and kelp extracts — supports biological activity in the root zone beyond raw nutrients.
• Natural wetting agent included — helps the solution penetrate media evenly rather than pooling.
• Recommended at plug production — supports seed germination and good rooting from the earliest stage.

Who Should Use Growth Products Essential Plus

This fits growers running plug production or propagation who want a biostimulant supplement supporting germination and early root development alongside their regular feeding program.

Frequently Asked Questions

How and when should Essential Plus be used?

Growth Products recommends using it at plug production to help ensure seed germination and good rooting from the start. Applying it early in the propagation stage is when its biostimulant ingredients have the most opportunity to establish root development.

What is Essential Plus made from?

It's derived from potassium humate, 21 natural L-amino acids, enzymes, simple and complex sugars, vitamins, kelp extracts, carbohydrates, cellulose, lignin, and hydrolyzed organic proteins, along with a natural wetting agent. That broad ingredient list positions it as a soil amendment and root enhancer rather than a standard NPK fertilizer.

Is this a complete fertilizer or a supplement?

With a 1-0-1 NPK, it's a supplement rather than a complete fertilizer, meant to be used alongside a regular feeding program to support root development and soil biology specifically. Growers should keep a separate base fertilizer in rotation alongside it.

What does the wetting agent do in this formula?

The natural wetting agent helps the solution penetrate growing media evenly rather than beading up or channeling through unevenly, which supports more consistent contact with developing roots and seeds. Even coverage matters most right at plug production, when root systems are just getting established.
